On the essence of drum‘n’bass: One of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever known is something that Da Vinci once said: “Sculpture exists in the rock. You just have to blow away the dirt and the dust.” That’s what you have to understand with this style of music, that’s part of the whole journey.
