Brostep / Skrillex and the Forum.

complextro?

i think you mean ember breaks

srebme breaks is exactly 145 bpm
complextro sounds sped up but really isn't

if only the two could merge together...

can one one explain what exactly srebme breaks is...it just sounds like shitty dnb...

[dickman69]

it's like breaks but it's not because it doesn't use an amen break

it has many stick sounds and snares so it keeps the tempo rolling

and it's exactly 145bpm so it isn't big beat or jungle/dnb

fucking banana's

if you live in a place where the deeper scene isnt big, then chances are the only nights that will be avaliable to you are going to be bro ones.... and whats the point of going to them?

and as for staying at home if you dont like whats out there? well.... some people dont wanna be hermits

Why act like I said just to stay home in your bedroom on your own?

I said get some friends round, maybe put on parties, get some people introduced to the sound. Maybe even put on a night if you can.

Beats coming to this thread and moaning about brostep?
And for those that moan that when they say they like dubstep, people ask if they mean Skrillex, I've gotta ask, how often does that really happen? Why not show them some tunes you do like? My girlfriend's brother thought dubstep was shit because it was all noise, I made him a CD with stuff like DMZ, Mount Kimbie, Burial, etc. trying to cover the whole scene, and now he knows.

Brostep is shit, but people can only listen to stuff they know. If nobody is gonna do that for you, and it bothers you so much, be the change you wanna see.

I really don't think it's fair to say that all brostep is shit (assuming that brostep just means heavier dubstep). Here's what I think: obviously Burial, Skream, Loefah, Coki, etc. are awesome and under appreciated, but saying that all of the harder producers out there are shit just because they don't stick to a certain chilled, grimy form is kind of hipstery and lame. I listen to both forms of the genre for different reasons. I get just as pissed as the next guy when someone says something about Skrillex being "the king of dubstep" or whatever. The fact is, it's stupid to get angry because a genre has evolved and become "less cool" because it's mainstream or whatever. I don't even think you can say Skrillex is shit to be honest. I enjoy listening to him for the same reasons that I enjoy listening to other pop music. Because it's... pop-y haha. I don't think one style is necessarily better than the other. The brostep/origional dubstep debate is like quarreling over whether forks are better than spoons. Yes, Burial and the likes are fucking awesome, but I think it can also be said that producers like Flux Pavillion, and Datsik are fucking awesome as well.

That's the thing. Brostep does not just mean heavier dubstep. There's plenty of heavier stuff that isn't brostep.

And to those moaning about there not being any deep nights near them, that has nothing to do with brostep. I can guarantee wherever you are in the world it is easier to go to a deep night in 2012 than it was in 2005.

What the hell is the definition of brostep anyway? From what I've seen it appears the only answer is heavy dubstep or Skrillex

These are heavy and are definitely not brostep for example:

It was clearly just my opinion, don't let it worry you. You don't need to justify anything to me, listen to whatever you want. You can tell me all that ^^^ but it's not gonna change the fact that I haven't really heard a brostep track that I like yet. You think Flux Pavillion and Datsik are awesome and I don't. Opinions. Don't sweat it.

And yeah, you are about the 200th person to say basically exactly that thing in the last 3 pages. And don't forget, some of us didn't like it before it was mainstream (if it even is), don't pull that one out.

Anyway, thanks for taking that from a post by me that was almost entirely in support of just letting people listen to whatever they want to.

These are heavy and are definitely not brostep for example:

Now give me a reason for those not to be brostep. Especially the last one. Anyone not producing would not hear the difference between the last track there and a Flux track for example.
It seems to me that the term brostep is only being used about the artists certain people on here don't like, like flux and skrillex etc..

Oh and btw, just saw skream post this on facebook:

Benga and I are back on BBCR1 this Thursday...And it's actually our last In New DJs We Trust before we move to our weekly Friday night show! Got loads of new music including a BRAND NEW Burial + Four Tet (Official) collaboration! And new tunes from ourselves, Kryptic Minds, Benny Page, Noah D, Photek + Pinch and loads more!!!!!! It's gonna be a big one! http://www.bbc.co.uk/​programmes/b01cp66q

Surely, you UK guys should be stoked about this, and please stop complaining. It's so annoying, this thread is over 110 pages, and 90% of it is pure hate. It's so ridiculous.

[hutyluty]

I dont know about everyone else but personally I spew hate on dsf to make up for my own shortcomings as a producer and as a human being.

ps.vex'd thunder has a massive sub line which is the focus of the song, ive never listened to flux pavilion but im guessing his tunes dont

where's pistons?

that's nonsense, must disagree. it's easy to tell the difference, that tune wasn't bro. it has nothing to do with knowing production. there was nothing brostep about that. having distortion isn't the point.. bro is cookie cutter rave-face material. That was a tune. and it sounded nothing like anything flux pavilion would create, doesn't take a producer's ears to tell that

It's a joke that was funny for about 5 seconds, but nonetheless continues to go on... and on... and on...
