You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Liquid funk''', '''liquid drum & bass''', '''liquid DnB''', '''melodic drum & bass''', or sometimes just '''liquid''' is a subgenre of [[drum and bass]]. While it uses similar [[bassline]]s and [[Bar (music)|bar]] layouts to other styles, it contains fewer bar-oriented samples and more instrumental layers (both [[synthesizer|synthesized]] and natural), harmonies, melodies and ambiance, producing a sentimental atmosphere directed at home listeners as well as [[nightclub]] and [[rave]] audiences. Music genres such as [[jazz]], [[soul music|soul]] and sometimes [[blues]] have a pivotal influence on liquid funk.<ref>((cite web |title=Liquid Funk Music Guide: History and Sounds of Liquid Funk |url=https://www.masterclass.com/articles/liquid-drum-and-bass-guide |website=MasterClass Articles |access-date=5 August 2023))</ref>

== History ==
=== Origins ===
[[File:Netsky (DJ).jpg|left|thumb|[[Netsky (musician)|Netsky]] performing in 2008.]]
In 1999, [[Fabio (DJ)|Fabio]] alongside Sarah Sandy, began championing a new form of drum and bass they called "liquid funk", with a compilation release of the same name on their Creative Source label.<ref>[http://www.residentadvisor.net/forum-read.aspx?id=30527&page=1 "Magnetic Soul presents BBC Radio 1 DJ Fabio and MC Joker D @ Heat – 6 Jul 07"] Resident Advisor: Retrieved August 27, 2009</ref> This was characterized by influences from [[ambient (music)|ambient]], [[funk]], [[disco]], [[house (music)|house]] and [[trance (music)|trance]] music, and widespread use of vocals. Although slow to catch on at first, the style grew massively in popularity around 2003–2004, and by 2005 it was established as one of the biggest-selling subgenres in drum and bass, with labels like [[Good Looking Records]] (although this label is strongly cross-genred with ''atmospheric drum and bass''), [[Hospital Records]], Liquid V, Creative Source, Shogun Limited, Fokuz Recordings, and artists like [[Calibre (artist)|Calibre]], [[Netsky (musician)|Netsky]], [[LTJ Bukem]], [[High Contrast]], [[Logistics (artist)|Logistics]], [[London Elektricity]], [[Nu:Tone]], [[Shapeshifter (band)|Shapeshifter]], [[DJ Marky]], [[Makoto (musician)|Makoto]], and [[DJ Dextrous|Solid State]] among its main proponents.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/album-twisted-tongue-twisted-tongue-acid-jazz-1768309.html "Album: Twisted Tongue, Twisted Tongue, Acid Jazz"] The Independent: Retrieved August 27, 2009</ref>

Liquid funk is very similar to intelligent drum and bass and atmospheric drum and bass, but has subtle differences.<ref>[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2009/02/13/2003436001 "The Vinyl Word"] ''Taipei Times'': Retrieved August 27, 2009</ref> Liquid funk has stronger influences from [[Soca music|soca]], [[Latin music (genre)|Latin]], [[jazz]], [[disco]], [[breakbeat]], and [[funk music]], while intelligent D'n'B or atmospheric D'n'B creates a calmer yet more synthetic sound, using smooth synth lines, deep bass and samples in place of the organic element achieved by use of real instruments.<ref>((cite web |title=Liquid Funk Music Guide: History and Sounds of Liquid Funk |url=https://www.masterclass.com/articles/liquid-drum-and-bass-guide |website=MasterClass Articles |access-date=5 August 2023))</ref>

===Continued growth===
Liquid music continued its growth from 2006–2009,<ref>((Cite web|last=Shankowsky|first=Josh|title=Liquid Drum and Bass is back! North America's thriving scene of young producers is conquering the world with a fresh sound|url=https://www.b-music.co.uk/music/liquid-drum-and-bass-is-back-north-americas-thriving-scene-of-young-producers-is-conquering-the-world-with-a-fresh-sound/|access-date=June 21, 2021|website=B Music|language=en-US))</ref> with a rise of artists such as Eveson, [[Alix Perez]], Zero T, Lenzman, Spectrasoul, Electrosoul System and Physical illusion to name a few. Like the Liquid preceding it, it came predominantly from the UK. These artists tended to steer away from the [[Amen break|Amens]] and [[Roland TR-808|808's]] and brought new sounds to the [[drum and bass]] scene.((Citation needed|date=March 2013))

On 1 October 2007, [[High Contrast]] brought liquid funk back to the mainstream with his album, ''[[Tough Guys Don't Dance (High Contrast album)|Tough Guys Don't Dance]]'', releasing tracks such as "If We Ever" (featuring [[Diane Charlemagne]]) which made Radio 1's Dance singles chart, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", and "Tread Softly". This ended up [[Crossover (music)|"crossing over"]] and becoming one of the most listened to drum and bass albums of 2007. The success of liquid funk never left the mainstream, and was followed by Mistabishi's "No Matter What" being played on daytime radio, [[Chase & Status]]' ''[[More Than Alot]]'' album charting and the Brookes Brothers' singles "The Big Blue", "Get On It" and "Loveline" hitting dance charts.((Citation needed|date=March 2013))

[[Liquicity]] emerged as a YouTube channel in 2008, after 2011 gradually growing out to become a record label and events promoter for new liquid DnB artists, especially in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom.<ref name="Meadow">((Cite web |url=http://www.youredm.com/2014/11/11/liquicity-founders-detail-how-to-make-it-as-a-youtube-label/ |title=Liquicity: How to Make it as a YouTube Label |author=Matthew Meadow |work=Your EDM |date=November 11, 2014 |access-date=June 3, 2017))</ref>
