If you want to know about the drum and the bass, listen to Mr. Fabio. Having broken through in the late '80s playing funk and rare groove on London pirate station Phase One, he was somewhere towards the centre of pretty much any new movement in British electronic music for nearly a decade after. Popularising the super smooth liquid funk genre, the likes of Calibre and High Contrast must surely remember to send him a card every christmas. Anyone who listens to his weekly Radio 1 show with buddy Grooverider knows he hasn't got that husky a voice, yet he's still considered 'The Godfather'. Go figure.
