I found a guide for people new to DNB so decided to post it in here (all credit to "katana" from djforums.com)

Liquid funk:

Description:
This describes that light, summery side on dnb. Typically will be heavily influenced by jazz elements, hip hop elements, and perhaps infused with flavors from Jump Up and dub. Chances are if it makes you smile, or the vocals sound happy or upbeat, you'll find it here.

Labels:

Soul:R
Liquid V

Artists:

Key Tracks:
Calibre - Drop It Down
DJ Marky and XRS - LK
Marcus Intalex and High Contrast - 3am


Jump up:

Description:
Makes you want to throw your arms around or start raving. Can often include cheesy vocals that are filtered with effects to lead into a drop that helps those pill heads go higher. Common features include a wobbling bass line, extreme build up for the drop, and in some cases a short synth. Generally defined as blatantly dancefloor friendly.

Key Tracks:
Sub Focus - Swamp Thing
Dillinja - Twist Em Out
Ray Keith - Chopper (Shy FX remix)


Hard Step / Dark / Evil:

Description:
Open the Floodgates and wait for the hounds of hell to take your soul.... Defined by the blazing amounts of drum edits with a low heavy bassline.... Often vocals and heavy, distorted effects. The all out evil side of drum and bass.

Pish Posh - Corrupt Cops (Evol Intent remix)
Limewax - 1/2 lb


Neuro Funk / Future Beat:
Deep rolling basslines with a more minimal approach to the breaks & synths. Probably the most mature sound of drum n bass. A very refined style, usually featuring a dark or deep feeling to the music, but also with an edge of funk. Typically features heavy sampling and many layered drum hits. Very technical production.

Break - The Uprising



Tech Step:

Description:
Techstep originated with producers like Ed Rush, Optical, Matrix, and Rymetyme. It is directly credited with the outbreak of the neuro funk style. Shares many similarities with neuro, though typically techstep is more raw sounding. The techstep terminology is pretty self explanatory, as it is generally described as an infusion of techno elements into drum n bass. It can have a funky vibe to it, just as some techno does, but its focus is on a darker sound without going into the realm of hardstep.

Jungle:

Description:
The precursor to what we call drum n bass (and coincidentally a term often used interchangeable with "drum n bass"). Started in 1992, it is hard to pinpoint the exact beginnings of jungle... though DJ's Fabio and Grooverider pioneered what led to the mass of jungle production. Jungle reached its peak in 1995, when some of the more melodic styles such as Jump Up and Liquid began taking form and "drum n bass" was born. Jungle typically features heavy drum edits and erratick sequencing of drum patterns, often featuring ragga vocals and stylings or just straight up dark vibes. Atmospheric drum n bass also branched off from jungle.

Key Tracks:

Shy Fx - Original Nuttah
Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag



Atmospheric/Intelligent:

Description:
Drum n bass that you can sit back and just listen to. It can be groovy enough to make you wanna move, but the focus is on listening and stimulation of the ears. Pioneered by LTJ Bukem and nearly defined by the assortment of tracks available on his Good Looking label. Shares many similarities with jungle and drumfunk. Sometimes has elements of liquid and jazz, though the feeling is usually more subtle. More fitting for headphones than a dancefloor in many cases.

Labels:
Good Looking
InPerspective
Fokuz

Artists:
LTJ Bukem
Photek
Alaska
Breakage
Equinox

Key Tracks:
LTJ Bukem - Atlantis
Klute - Hell Hath No Fury
High Contrast - Return of Forever



Drumfunk:

Description:
Drumfunk is a term coined by producer Paradox. Heavily focusing on the actual breakbeats in drum n bass, the key feature of drumfunk is on a blistering array of drum patterns as opposed to the synth or bass-driven focus of other styles. Drumfunk still retains a good amount of low end, but it borders on the edge of atmospheric and original jungle in that its focus is much more centralized on drum patterns and drum edits. Also referred to as "edits" and "choppage."

Adam F - Colours


Amazon.co.uk Review
The son of Alvin Stardust, Adam F was weaned on traditional musicianship. He plays most instruments on Colours himself. The clean drum and bass breaks are accompanied by swathes of jazz trumpet, saxophone, flute and indulgent Fender guitar solos: pure jazz fusion with cheesy brass/synthesiser stabs reminiscent of 1970s TV theme/incidental music-- Pat Metheny meets Starsky & Hutch. Listeners are sharply divided--loving or loathing it, considering it either jazz genius or insipid tack, although everyone agrees the Tracey Thorn collaboration is dreadful. Stand-out tracks include Top 20 hit "Circles" ("Tick, tick, tick, tick...") and "Music In My Mind" with it's vocoder. In a brilliant darker moment, "Metropolis" creates Alfred Hitchcock suspense using a perpetual drone like a swarm of killer bees and a "Wildstyle" repetitive scratch. Meanwhile, there are more highly original sounds on "Jaxx", where a drum beat merges with smashing glass. --Sarah Champion

Alix Perez And Lynx Allegiance

Hi-End D'n'B styles from Soul:r's hotly tipped Alix Perez, currently one of the scenes brightest talents. Over the 4 tracks on show, The pair contribute tracks solo and in collaboration, but probably working best on their own. The double pack cuts between pressurised hardstep and liquid rollers with a very glossy sheen and will be up to the test on the most demanding D'n'B floors.

1. Inferno - Alix Perez

2. Crooklyn - Alix Perez

3. Allegiance - Lynx & Alix Perez

4. Randy - Lynx
