DRUM & BASS CUT
Core Definition
A stripped-back dub mix reduced to just the drum and bassline, with all other instrumentation and vocals dropped out.
[ Comprehensive Explanation & Cultural Context ]
Cutting a track down to its 'drum & bass' (in the original Jamaican sense, not the UK genre) exposes the raw rhythmic skeleton of a riddim. It's a favorite tool of dub engineers and selectors to reset a dance's energy to its most primal, bass-driven form.
