"It's realised its potential to blow worldwide. This music will always survive underground - but it's been exciting taking it to a mass market" - Roni Size. 
D&B is one of the original UK musical exports which has stood the test of time.

Every weekend thousands of clubbers pack out venues up and down the country, and it sells the most vinyl out of all dance music genres. D&B is in a healthy state.

But with only a few top 40 hits, DJ Flight asks how this music stays standing in today's competitive industry.
What is it about D&B that helps it survive underground?

Eli Schwartz (mc eliman)
I think the lack of chart success and commercial success paralelled with the genuine success DnB has with the scene itsself is a testiment of what DnB is all about. Its about being real and not caring about superficial things.
