            Walking through the streets of grim taking in some three-dimensional inspiration for two-dimensional re-creation. Making it to DNA lounge with a very in-expensive twenty five dollar show for an avant guard style of music called drum n’ bass. I classify this music as avant guard because of its outcast nature of sound for younger generations. Generally found for the mainly hardcore from deriving from an almost Punk sounding style. Still Generally known as underground and if aged heard the sounds that drum n’ bass creates. Avant Guard, any type of “Art” that is pushed aside because it is ahead of their time, ideas of convergence plays a key in this style. People might associate music of this nature as being drug filled but honestly from personal experiences of every show attended just a few drinks and a good mind set for freedom one will enjoy the night.
           
Drum and bass (also written as "drum 'n' bass" and commonly abbreviated to D&B or DnB) is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–190 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass and sub-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the very early 1990s. Over the first decade of its existence, the incorporation of elements from various musical genres led to many permutations in its overall style.

            The show at DNA Lounge was massive for the small crowd. Especially for the live set by electronic production duo from London, CHASE and STATUS, playing most of their classic widely known songs to grab the audience with some new tracks with heavier more dubbed out breakdowns. These artist’s being able to make their sound live is something to see and be inspired by but don’t get to caught up in standing and gazing into the show or one might be found in the mosh pit. The DNA lounge was small but enjoyable with layout for an un-crowded dance for one that is feeling the needs to dance but one will not find the embarrassed feeling to just let go. But there was some there where they had a lil’ too much with the sound but hey it’s their life so dig their freedom. The man to women ratio was about 30% to 70% but the ladies were definite cuties and free to dance the night away with you.
