Drumfunk
is a subgenre of drum & bass sometimes referred to as "edits" or "choppage". The term came in 2000, when drumfunk itself began to expand. The hallmarks of drumfunk records are complex breakbeats which sound as though they are being played live on a drumkit, but are actually comprised of samples which have been processed and rearranged electronically.

Though a sub-genre of drum & bass, it is usually much more complex than the standard drum patterns that exist within it. The focus of the song tends to be on the drums rather than the melodies or music itself. Also usually programmed from old drum samples which are relatively obscure rather than created.

Key drumfunk artists include Paradox (arguably the originator of both the term and production style), Fracture and Neptune, Seba, Macc, and Fanu, although other producers have been labeled as such from time to time.


Techmospheric drum & bass
is a new form of drum & bass, that evolved from the roots of Atmospheric (or Intelligent drum and bass), to become a sound of it's own. This style of drum and bass features all the lush atmospherics of Atmospheric (or Intelligent drum and bass), but expands upon that formula, often adding a more dancefloor approach with the types of beats and bass that are used.

The sound came to fruition in 2005, after ASC coined the phrase for the type of music his Covert Operations label was putting out.
