Who says Drum'N'Bass can't be happy?

IF you have followed Electronica, you undoubtedly know Relphex Records, created by the famous Aphex Twin himself, Richard D. James. IF not knowing this, go look into it. Now, being informed about this, perhaps you know about a man named Tom Jenkinson. Yes? No? Of course... better known as Squarepusher. Still don't know?
Well, let's educate you. Back in the day when Drum'N'Bass was still being experimented with, and nobody really knew what to do, ol'Tom came out of the woodwork and, wabam!, brilliantly took jazz ideals and glitchcore beats to create Drill'N'Bass on his debut album Feed Me Weird Things . Applause, applause, for ol' Tom made something quite wonderful. On that first vinyl, he has created some work that really shows that when you become a master of your genre, you can make your music happy, or sad, or really take it any direction you want. Drum'N'Bass usually is an extremely serious or bouncy tone, and hearing something so wonderfully happy here is just brilliant.

Ah, a few founders of the quickly dying IDM genre, Squarepusher and Aphex Twin.  Masters of their own fields.
