      Yup. Dnb is extremely versatile. It just adds rythm bass and beat. That's why it can be adopted anywhere. Dnb is not one genre, it's widespread. Apart for 3 things. 1 : beat
      2 : bass
      3 : bpm

      I don’t know if you know this but the drummer isn’t actually playing that. The majority of the drums in this song/drop are electronically programmed by Justin hawkes. The drummer in the video is doing the equivalent of lipsyncing but on the drums.

But when I heard this track, even if it was just for a moment, all of that melted away and I felt that funky ass tune carry me sky high. I was reminded that i can find joy. You really did that for someone. And I’m sure you’ve done that for many. Thanks Justin hawkes and Andrew hellier.

      Ask me, Lucilo, how one feels sorry that, when the world is governed by divine Providence, so many evils happen to good men. It will be superfluous to want to demonstrate now that this great work of the world cannot be without some guard, and that the course and certain discourse of the stars is not a casual movement; He sees that great plants are born from small seeds, and that not even those things that seem confused and uncertain, such as the rains, the clouds, the strikes of lightning, and the fires on the broken peaks of the mountains, the tremors of the moving earth with the rest that the tumultuous part of things revolves around it, although they are sudden, they do not move without reason, since even those have their causes no less than in those remote lands we look at as miracles; what are the hot waters in the middle of the rivers, the new spaces of islands that are discovered on the high seas; and that whoever observes, when the waters withdraw into it, leave the banks bare, and that within a short time they are covered again, will know that with a certain volubility they withdraw and shrink within themselves, and that the waves return again to go out, seeking its seat with rapid course, sometimes growing with the portions, and falling and rising in the same day and in the same hour, showing themselves now greater and now smaller as they are attracted by the Moon, at whose will the Ocean grows. All this is reserved for his time; because although you, who still impatiently do not give up on your destiny, and who complain about divine Providence, know that you do not doubt it: and I find myself no less wanting to put you on friendship with the gods, believe me that they end up being good to the good man; because Nature does not allow her goods to harm the good. Between God and fair men there is a certain friendship united, through virtue: and when I say friendship, I should say a close familiarity, and even a certain similarity; because the good man differs from God only in time, being his disciple and imitator; because that magnificent father, who is not a soft executor of virtues, raises the good ones more harshly, as the most severe fathers do. Therefore when you see that our most righteous men of Rome and most beloved beings of the gods suffer terrible wounds, labor and fatigue, and that they walk uphill and that, on the contrary, the vulgar and mean ones are fresh and abundant with delight, be persuaded to just as we are pleased with the modesty of our dearest children, and delight in the license and liberties of slaves born at home, how we confront the former with melancholy recollection, and encourage more ease in the others; This is how God does the same, not delighting in heroes, nor in good men, nor in his family and women, because the one who makes the experiences so that he becomes virtuous, is the one who prepares him for himself, to be One, one more within.
      -Seneca, First Book Of Divine Providence
