Now complete, our 50-strong list houses blue-eyed soul from New Zealand, louche keyboard freestyles, pop and R&B mastery, lyrics about Friday nights spent playing FIFA, turbo-charged tracks with sharp political edges, and anthemic freestyles.ĭo the damn thing and enjoy it. The dynamic behind all drum & bass records, The Prodigy’s signature drum arrangement and THE core device of the ultimate, hugely influential rave/jungle/D&B foundation, hardcore. The ones that sparked relentless catchphrases. The ones we sang louder or danced harder to than the rest. Whether you agree with the selections, the numerical order we put them in or even what year it is…this list has something for everyone. Breakbeat: one of the most dominant driving beat forces in electronic music since raves began. They are the ones that hung around for a while, but not like a bad boyfriend.

Maybe we enjoyed them through a Funktion One system, tinny car speakers or on the tube in ear-buds that only play from one side. They are the ones we remembered at the end of the year – maybe because we heard them played countless times at festivals, during late night DJ sets, or the day after it all over a greasy pizza from Domino’s. As drum & bass grew in the 90s he became one of its key playas, smashing into the Top 100 DJs poll at the start of the noughties and remaining there for the next decade and more. Whichever way you see it, our 2015 list is made up of tunes Dummy really enjoyed.

Stream songs including 'A Daguerreotypist', 'Road' and more. Maybe it’s the videos that maketh the tune, or maybe it’s the catchphrases it spurns, or maybe it’s the godamn memes. Listen to The Best of 4Beat Records: Trap & Dubstep 2015 by Various Artists on Apple Music.
