❓ DnB FAQ
Is drum and bass popular in LA?
Yes! While not as mainstream as house or dubstep, LA has a dedicated DnB community with regular events, especially through promoters like Bassrush and local crews.
What's the difference between DnB and dubstep?
DnB is faster (170+ BPM) with rolling breakbeats. Dubstep is slower (~140 BPM) with half-time rhythms and heavy wobble bass. Both are bass music but feel very different.
