New Zealand drum and bass (NZ DnB) is a distinctive offshoot of the broader drum and bass genre, known for incorporating the lush, natural vibes of its homeland into a foundation of pulsating breakbeats and deep basslines. Artists within this scene skillfully blend electronic production with elements of local culture and musical influences, such as dub and reggae, resulting in tracks that are both energizing and atmospheric. The genre showcases a diverse palette from the liquid smoothness of Tokyo Prose, to the tech-driven intensity of State of Mind, and the crossover appeal of bands like Shapeshifter, who infuse live instruments into their electronic tapestry. NZ DnB is celebrated for its unique sound that simultaneously echoes global DnB trends while maintaining a distinctly Kiwi flavor.
