retrieved 12 July 2007. In 1996, they created Drumagick, who have, over the years, witnessed the transformation and development of the jungle and drum'n'bass scene as keenly as the British who invented the sound. Drumagick similarly re-invented the samba, with a twist of heavy bass, dancefloor funk, jazzy tunes and energetic melody.
