Drum & bass is derived from Jungle, and Jungle was pioneered by Fabio & Grooverider in the late 80's. Jungle was a hybrid of hardcore techno, ragga and dancehall.
The other three all have their roots in drum & bass or 80's house.
Although, drum & bass was a huge leap forward and is probably one of the evolutionary steps I mentioned earlier.
Another example was a busker I saw in Brighton just before xmas. He was playing a ukelele and was accompanied by a Gameboy and loads of effects. He went by the name of Jelly Ape and I'd never heard anything like it before.
I am beginning to see that there has been
some innovation in the last decade or so, although considering the number of bands and artists around and the relative ease of getting their music to the masses, it seems to be pretty limited.
I'd like to thank all those who took the time to make recommendations.
