Brostep - Part Deux!

[Marzz]

not into the mid range bass plus the heavy guitar riffs that much. some tracks are good though

[Toolman4]

I think what makes a good Brostep producer is someone who can control the maximal-istic approach to sound design. Filling out that frequency spectrum all 16 bars of the phrase is quite exhausting. I somewhat feel that way about all the fascination with the higher pitched stuff as well. However again, those who can control it well, provide dynamic novelty to arrangement/composition, are truly great. My best example of this right now, is Feed Me's "Escape from Electric Mountain".


btw, I really do hate calling it that, but now that there seems to be a growing appreciation since the challenge, I feel compelled to speak my unsolicited opinion. Love

The Un1k (Chateau Bruyant, Buygore Records) @ Annie Nightingale Show, BBC Radio 1 (08.09.2012)
The Unik is a first class mastering engineer, but he's also an excellent musician and hyper-creative producer. Known for his off the hook live Ps and massive productions, it's his 2 first eps on PLAY ME RECORDS, playlisted by Excision or Spor among others, that revealed the guy to the bass music world, soon followed by the massive Gazoline EP on his own label Château Bruyant alongside fellows top french producers Niveau Zero and Habstrakt.

When not haunting his studio in Provence, he delivers mad live sets mixing dubstep, drumstep, drum and bass and electro in a personal yet explosive performance. The Unik likes heavy beats and hard basslines and he's not one to play love songs. The Unik ... is unique.

The Others (Dub Police) @ Get Darker TV Episode #155, Concrete Space - London (06.09.2012)
The musical partnership that started between Alex and Paul, AKA The Others, a number of years ago has proved to be an endlessly creative and fruitful one that has continued to herald exciting results both in the studio and in clubs. Now in 2012, The Others still has plenty up his sleeve with a number of projects being readied to see the light of day soon. With a new single due out in July and an album scheduled for the end of the year, it is set to be his busiest year yet. Keen to continue evolving, he is also busy working with a host of artists from the dubstep scene and beyond. Any time when he isn’t in the studio, he can be found travelling across the globe igniting dancefloors. His prodigious skills have taken him to the famous House of Blues in LA, Paradiso in Holland and Eden in Ibiza. With summer calling, you can expect to see him playing plenty of festivals including the infamous Tomorrowland festival in Belgium for a second year running.

i think it takes alot more production "hard work" then say a mala tune would, sitting there for countless hours mucking around on synths. But one could say a mala tune has more "soul" put into the track

Get over yourselves, dubstepforum.

It's funny how these two "styles" of dubstep always get compared to each other. I'll never forget the time I was at a friends house partying and it made for one of the most frustrating experiences ever: I'd play maximal-istic/aggressive/bro stuff and he would pretty much stop dancing and kill the vibe of the place. Then he'd go right back to that deep/dungeon vibe. And he kept telling me, how much more easy it was for him to feel the groove and get into the track. It was then that it hit me: You can define intensity of the experience/evocation of emotions/how a person connects with the music in a multitude of different ways. To keep this from spawning into a massive debate, again, I'll simply close with there are different strokes, that's why they make other flavors than vanilla, etc etc etc.

Not to call you out Rando, but I know a lot of hard work goes into processing the percussion and atmosphere of a lot of counter-bro stuff (I'm reaching beyond my comfort zone, as I'm not an expert on the deeper side of things), and I know that there is a lot of soul put into "bro" stuff. Most of which comes from the balance of melody and rhythm. An example of this would be "Raise Your Weapon" by Noisia, Seven Lions stuff (though some of his sounds are quite cheesy), Some of Flux Pavillon's stuff (as he usually starts out with just Saw tones, so as to focus on the "MUSIC"), Some of bassnectar's stuff like Lights, etc etc etc. All perspective meng. Such as why we always default to making that which makes ourselves happy

Cheers all

I think everyone calling it "brostep" is stupid, imo. Because half the time it is the same tempo/beat of traditional dubstep. I don't see the difference really. Sure traditional dubstep is more organic and has more depth. But should they really be separated from just the sounds? I call it dubstep because it is dubstep. All these dumb subgenres just confuse everybody and they aren't that much far apart.

[ehbes]

no brostep needs to be separate

I'd think it's the opposite tbh but, I guess it's all perspective.

I like a lot of dub police's output - less so their more recent stuff, but they'll still put out the occasional great tune. subscape is always on point

Get over yourselves, dubstepforum.

If you were real artists/producers, you wouldn't hate on any other form of music.

And why is that?
