Drum N Bass: An extremely high rate of hihats and snares resulting in a high density of high frequency noise, and loss of overall clarity. They should really call it Drum N Treble.

DubStep: Moderate tempo so your ears have time to hear the waveforms and a focus on BASS which is really the frequency range where STYLE is located.

What do you think ?

Some drum and bass is like that (the newer ravey business) but dnb used to have more space in it, and I'm sure there's probably quite a lot of tunes out there that aren't full on if you search (haven't really bought any dnb in years so couldn't help you on newer stuff).

I'd say something like Trinity's (Dillinger) "Picture on my Wall" and whoever did "Dubplate Circles" are pretty spacious and leave room for the sub to develop.

It's just the dominant style of the last few years that leaves me cold and you could probably get a similar effect by shaking a box of matches and kicking tin cans down the stairs judging by some Noisia I heard the other day. I'd prefer hearing dnb where the "less is more" approach is taken rather than every available moment of silence being filled.

Mind you there's blatantly a fair amount of dubstep that could do with slightly more than echoed hits and sub to keep it interesting, so I'm not taking sides

This thread is going somewhere excellent.

that is exactly how I feel. dnb nowadays hurts my ears and just sounds like a continuous drone, its also painfully close to being syncopated gabber. yeesh.

take it back to 174 bpm plz kthxbye.

Ah this is new. Comparing dubstep to dnb. Weeeeelllllllllllllll.

















WHATEVER.

And that winner is the one eyed makarah



get to know

There's plenty of interesting dnb these days that's not formulaic, bland or blatant. The new Rufige Kru, Icicle and Switch bits, Lomax, Vapour going for minimalism, heavy subs and atmospherics. And there's also plenty of drumfunky stuff going on, Macc most notably. So yeah there are people who bring old&new vibes to the dnb, just gotta keap an ear out for all those genres underrepresented at your usual rave.

is that a euphemism?

(especially when you consider that makkara means sausage in finnish.)

I hate Groundhog Day
