BBC Radio 1 - Radio 1 Stories, D-Burg: How Genres Come and Go

MistaJam explores music scenes past and present to see how genres are born - and die!

MistaJam explores music scenes past and present as he tries to help dubstep producer High Rankin pioneer his very own genre! Can D-Burg become the next Harlem Shake?

Mistajam explores music scenes past and present as he tasks dubstep producer High Rankin with creating his very own dance music craze!

Taking examples from Trap and EDM, Future House, Dubstep and Nu-Rave, Mistajam tutors High Rankin in how a genre is born, how the sound gets to the people, what happens when it blows up, and how a genre, well....disappears. 

Learning from the likes of Flosstradamus, Bondax, Plastician and Klaxons, the task should be easy....or is it? 

High Rankin pulls in the help of his friend Tigerlight to create a sound from scratch, to get people to listen to it and to try to make it HUGE! 

So, with Mistajam as a tutor, can High Rankin make D-BURG the next HARLEM SHAKE?
