Drill 'n bass is a genre name coined by fans for a type of electronic music that emerged from drum 'n bass in the mid-1990s. Artists like Luke Vibert, Squarepusher, and most famously, Aphex Twin created the sound in 1995. The genre is characterized by extremely complex and detailed drum programming, often sampled from the famous "amen" breakbeat. Although inspired by early Jungle music, the complexity and attention to measure-by-measure detail found in drill 'n bass distanced it from the dancefloor mentality of early Drum 'n Bass. Aphex Twin's 1996 release Richard D. James Album is thought to be of great influence on modern Drill 'n Bass. In 1998, Aphex Twin released his "Come to Daddy" single, which is mainly in the style of Drill 'N Bass, and which was commercially successful worldwide. By 1999, the genre seemed to disappear. Only a few artists, such as The Flashbulb, still clung to the Drill 'n bass label. Newer artists, such as Venetian Snares and Doormouse, dubbed their evolution of the genre "breakcore".
