DnB is really quite diverse, it has lots of subgenres and derivative forms.
It's earliest form is now referred to as oldschool rave hardcore, at the time it was called breakbeat hardcore because it was a fusion of breakbeat (hence the drum bit) and rave/gabber (hence the bass bit). Early drum n bass includes stuff by The Prodigy such as Charly and the dark variety such as Death of the Prodigy Dancers; Trip II the Moon by Acen and Lord of the Null Lines by Hyper On Experience. 2-step derivative / ragga (aka jungle) / sci-fi drum n bass, i.e. mainstream dnb such as Puretones' Addicted to Bass, Girls Aloud's Sound of the Underground, see Foul Play's remix of Lord of the Null Lines by HoE to see how much more dub/stutter-oriented jungle is, then there's Brown Paper Bag by Roni Size Reprazent which shows the more recently adopted rhythm sounds of dnb (that more and more obvious boom---cha--boom-cha soun).
For modern/minimal more mainstream (jump up / trance derivative) and liquid dnb sounding stuff (that 12 year olds seem to excel at making) there's Pendulum, Feint, Netsky, Resotone (who also does glitch), London Elektricity, Unquote (who also does liquid dubstep but his dnb style often sounds really chill, anyway), Makoto, Shapeshifter and Metrik. For the slightly more underground dnb there's the sci-fi like slap reese bass style stuff that's famous due to the X Outing dance there's Spor, Meta, The Upbeats, The Qemists and Noisia & Mayhem (who also does electro house, erm Mayhem... I don't think that's actually Renard but lol look at the Similar Artists on
here); for the true, deep and aggressive, "futuristic stuff" that follows on from the old true oldschool gabber "noise" ideology, listen to the originals like Limewax, Gein, Spl, B Key, Technical Itch and Audio.
Then there's breakcore/IDM like Renard Queenston, Drumcorps, goreshit, Nero's Day at Disneyland and stuff the Detroit/Chicago/freetekno rave scenes worship like The Flashbulb's Binedump (Acidwolf Mix) / Chik Habit / Passage D (and similar which can be heard on Kirlian Selections).
Just look them up on YouTube.
I had a quick look for HoE's music and I found a bunny! o_o
