It's very interesting how as electronic music has evolved, the way we describe genres has evolved. In the mid-90s (when my friend Dean was a drum n bass DJ and I played acid), the genre you make would have been called breaks. Breaks were great because if you lived in a house city (like I did), you could mix in some breaks and the pea soups would blend nicely...I don't know if you've ever tried to play house music for two hours, but after about thirty minutes, I was so bored that I wanted to leave the party. Anyways, I played techno, so that is likely just the techno attitude...:)
Drum n bass was a little faster, the breaks would get cut up significantly more, there were more dynamics in the drum mix, and the bass lines were so thick that your kidneys would rattle.
Around the early 2000s, it seems like drum'n bass, jungle and breaks all merged into one. I wish that I was still involved in electronic music - it would be nice to still have a sense of how the music was evolving!!
