Jungle / Drum & Bass is arguably the most cyberpunk music ever conceived. If you read the Cyberpunk bible: Neuromancer, you'll understand why, also types of dub fall under this category
Gibson in his 1984 Classic Novel: Neuromancer, which is the defacto genesis of the Cyberpunk literary genre, describes some sort of electronic dub created by the AI Wintermute and played to the elders of the orbital Zion Colony.
""Voices." The Founder from Los Angeles was staring at Case.
"We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us.
IT PLAYED US A MIGHTY DUB."
"Call 'em Winter Mute," said the other, making it two words.
Case felt the skin crawl on his arms...
"You ever hear this voice before?"
"No," said the man from Los Angeles, "and we are uncertain of its meaning. If these are Final Days, we must expect false prophets..."
"Listen," Case said, "that's an AI, you know? Artificial intelligence. The music it played you, it probably just tapped your banks and cooked up whatever it thought you'd like to --"
"Babylon," broke in the other Founder, "mothers many demon, I an' I know. Multitude horde!
-William Gibson, Neuromancer, 1983
Gibson could not have known that he was creating our entire cyberpunk world when he finished writing Neuromancer in 1983. The founding document of cyberpunk, the novel set the style, culture, and aesthetic on the path to become the cultural movement it is today, more than that, every day we're entering a brave new world seeped in Neuromancer's predictions, augmented reality, cyberspace, The Matrix, body augmentations, etc.
With a nod towards the origins, we now put in motion our own gathering to not only pay homage, but to create a home for each and every one who wishes to pursue and explore this world.
