      The bass sound in today's jungle lacks the wobbly glee and wombadelic warmth of hardcore rave; instead, there's the sinister radioactive glow of the 'Dread Bass' sound, or dry, metallic, atonal B-lines that palpitate joylessly and tunelessly.

      Is there anything more comforting than drone? It’s the wombadelic sound of pre-ego existence, the sonic warmth of a life free from the burdens of the world, music awash in the primal need to express our thoughts through sound.
