## What we say

### No. 15 in [Drum and Bass](https://waxonia.com/genre/drum-and-bass/)

Neurofunk's technical ceiling. The bass is processed past the point of recognition into something percussive and physical, and it still grooves.

**What is playing.** Separated into parts by a source-separation model, so each lane is the instrument it names.

- **drums:** the drum kit, separated from the mix
- **bass:** the bass part, separated from the mix
- **vocals:** the voice, separated from the mix
- **other:** everything else — synths, guitars, keys, strings

Measured from the YouTube master on 2026-08-29. Section labels describe how the energy
moves, not musical form. Anything we were not confident enough to state is omitted
rather than hedged.
