Ok... DRUMSTEP???

[deadly_habit]

check out dis double time drumstep!

[paravrais]

Drumstep is still drum&bass, it's just a subgenre. Not a genre itself. It's only just about a sub genre too, considering it treads on the toes heavily of a couple of other drum&bass subgenres that have been around for years. I don't really buy into the whole sub genre thing anyway, (that's part of what I've loved about dubstep over the years and now it's split in two :\ lets try and not split things anymore, it's all dubstep if it's at 140 with a halftime beat, end of.) and drum&bass has waaaay too many these days. It's just drum&bass at the end of the day, a lot of it is shit and some of it is awesome.

EDIT: I know people have always refered to different types of dubstep as minimal or deep or grimy or midrange or whatever but they don't hammer on about it and claim to be a 'separate sub genre' the way drum&bass fans will kill anyone for saying a jump up tune is darkstep or anything equally retarded.

Its official, the internetz have decided. Live in London? Been into rave music for 20 years? Never heard of drumstep, darkstep, brostep or doomstep untill a kid mentioned them on the internetz? Well you must just be out of touch with the real uk underground scenes, take it from our 17 year old friend Gustav from Russia, he can assure you that Darkstep is a 'real' subgenre of dnb and drumstep is an all new dnb/dubstep fusion, braught to you by really established producers you have never heard of before. And Gustav knows his shit, hes been into dnb hardcore for 3 years and even went to a rave where Dylan played last year. When interviewed 7 out of 10 kids on an American drum n bass forum said 'oh ya, I like, totally love darkstep, Ive been into it 4eva', when asked drum n bass rapper Dj Fabio was quoted as saying 'I am 54 and what is this?', but we put that down to him being too far removed from the scene to know about the streets, hes an old man now and I doubt hes been to a rave since the 80s, I didn't even know who he was untill yesterday. Still not convinced? Well get used to it, its here now so why fight it? Its official, theres a youtube video and even a club flyer for an event at a bar in in Ontario, you're just out of the loop, its been settled on already, we took a vote this morning while you were at Tescos. Internetz law, if one person reads another persons post and believe it to be credable, said knowledge then becomes teh truths, and if you dont know then youre just a big fat welcome to 2009 mr born yesterday.

check out dis double time drumstep!

Can't see the video from work, but still, lulz.

When you want to say 'Liquid' you don't go, 'Oh i like this track, it uses similar basslines and bar layouts to other styles, it contains fewer bar-oriented samples and more instrumental layers (both synthesized and natural), harmonies, and ambience, producing a calmer atmosphere directed at both home listeners and nightclub audiences'.

HAHAHA. Idk, I kinda like saying it like that.

Dj Fabio was quoted as saying 'I am 54 and what is this?'

Right, because no actual real people use the internet so nothing on it can be related to human culture in any way. No genre or sub genre can exist unless it's been passed by word of mouth, not on a telephone mind because that's technology and therefore evil, you have to be RIGHT THERE IN THEIR FUCKING FACE SHOUTING AT THEM or it doesn't count as a 'real' genre. Anything new has to be verified by self righteous fanboys of previous scenes otherwise it is not allowed to move forwards and if it does anyway. Well it's not a real genre so who cares? Dubstep doesn't exist because it was spread over the internet, neither does fidget house or garage for that matter. Techno doesn't exist because it's made with computers, in fact computers probably don't exist either. Rock music? the hell is that? Unless I've seen one of these 'electric' guitars right here in front of me then I refuse to believe they exist. As for punk, emo, indie and grunge? You can't be serious? Sub genres? Fuck me your just not learning are you, sub genres don't exist and CERTAINLY aren't allowed to be created. Heaven forbid they should ever form a genre all of their own.

From here on nothing new is ever allowed to be created because everyone communicates through computers and phones and nobody really exists any more. It doesn't matter if there is a strong following for something and people putting on nights spinning it all over the world. It isn't real untill 'In the shadows' validates it, but not on the internet, no, you have to go face to face and shout it at him until the spit running down his forehead snaps him into reality and he realises that your actually standing there.

EDIT: FYI darkstep has been around longer than dubstep, before dubstep really got its roots down there were a few DnB sub genres floating around ending in step and it meant something very different.

If it's halftime dnb, it's dnb. I hereby officially declare the phrase drumstep not a genre.

Im glad to see youve taken the post in the spirit in which is was intended ad understand why it's important everything is run by me first. I'll be coming down to Cambridge soon, we should hook up, Im going to that darkstep dnb rave you guys have down there, the one where all the big names in darkstep are playing, you know the ones, they were on Baileys 1xtra show when he did his darkstep special. Theyre hoping to get the official nod from me so its a big day for em. Its been a hard road for the darkstep labels, trying to forge a unique path between neurofunk, techstep, proto-neurofunk techstep, skullstep, darkcore, breakcore and doomfunk while staying completely unknown by 99% of big name dnb djs and producers, but somehow theyve managed it and 1000s of clubbers across the country are going out every weekend with only 1 thing on their minds 'show me the darkstep baby, I got an urge for dark techy dnb with a strong 2 step beat that isnt quite techstep or neurofunk and has a really strong evil vibe thats entirely different to the one skullstep has'.

Its a grass roots movement, something that happened in the clubs and spread, a new breeed of producers pushing a new sound that has grown into a monster that rivals the biggest established genres of our time and hence with 100,000s of records sold and dozzens of packed club nights under its belt deserves its own name, unlike dubstep which is just all talk amoung a tiny handfull of people on the fringes of the scene with very little substance beyond a new classification for fanboys to pidgeonhole a few producers who are mostly unaware of their new catagorisation.

Is this real life ?

Guyz -pfff- don't care if it's a subgenre or not... u can name all diffrent tracks as a sub-ornot-genre but a musical genre became "more real" when many people use them as a style u know ?
I don't fucking get the words to say it -

[Genevieve]

Lawdy lawdy lawd. People can call black metal prog. polka for all I care, what people do or don't call the music doesn't change anything about the way we actually listen to the music.

[EBR]

<---- putting together a drumstep mix that'll make you drop your pants.

- Yes, this dj is happy there's finally a 'name' for the distinctive style of music. Yes, drumstep is the new name for half time dnb. Its a sub-genre. Now have fun smashing your face with your keyboard. I've been a fan of this kind of drum n bass for 10 years. Its a relief to have a name for the music we all can agree upon.

You guys should check out this mix! I really dug the couple of records that I have from Genotype on Reinforced. This mix is sounding nice!
