This is 1992? I believe by the time of this tune, the double-speed Amen Break was already popular thanks to late Acid House and Breakbeat Hardcore. Even Prodigy had a tune with this beat around then (Charly I think). This is THE sound of 1992, even rock bands had this going on instead of normal drums...
This is often considered the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl-PrF5yNNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl-PrF5yNNY
Interestingly, the "Bass" of Drum n' Bass, more specificaly the "Reese Bass" sound, was invented by Kevin Saunderson of the Belleville Three. In early DnB, this is as iconic as the drums. In late-90s DnB this was even more prominent than the Amen Break, IMO.
