As the real “underground” of old is getting increasing harder to find, people started giving niche music genres the title of being “underground", mixing the two labels into one, causing them to be undistinguishable. Drum n Bass has long been defined as an "underground" (or niche) genre amongst Chinese EDM fans. But actually the rhythm and melody of DnB is deeply rooted in British Culture, and to the British people it would not be considered "underground". It can even be said to be very Mainstream or "above ground" in the UK.

We aren’t going to trace its history back to the early nineties, and we aren’t going to dwell on the present. Maybe the internet wasn’t as developed before, or maybe today’s content algorithms are just too advanced. There’s a lot of good music that has not yet reached our ears, we can only hope to uncover them slowly but surely. Drum n Bass can only be considered niche because it hasn’t been discovered by the masses.

Porcelain:

Apart from the heat, my impression of Southeast Asia is Dapao Rice, which has saved me from countless desperate moments when I was starving on the street but couldn't speak the language. This time, I try to restore my fond memories of Dapao Rice with some local ingredients, and I hope it's good!

(Because I usually do not eat spicy, so this is the slightly spicy version of the seasoning, want to add spicy please bring your own hot sauce)
