Drumstep?

So does the DNB community have feelings about this and do you guys think it will be accepted into dnb as dnb by dnb supporters?

I heard Rob from pendulums drumstep refix of witchcraft and i was wondering what dnb lovers thought?

Given that pendulum probably isnt the best to use going by some of the things you guys have said about them in the past, i am actually just interested to see how you feel about this term Drumstep and its place within DNB.

Not a big fan of it honestly, it just sounds like hazard style DnB but with less snares and a different drum timing pattern and such.

I haven't looked into it heaps as of yet so I can't exactly comment on the "sub-genre" as a whole.

Might have a look around over the coming weeks and see if it's any good.

its drum and bass

theoretically yes, but you should know how all the kiddies like to make sub genres to be cool now.

thats true. its drum and bass still.

whoever comes up with the names for these genres, needs to stop. Just stop

Dub-Hop & Bass up next IMO.

Needs more pitch shift drums 

Oh, and drum edits...




 

I think it would be cool to combine the bass from Dubstep with the drums from Drumstep.

Drums and Bass together, what could we call it?

 

cant say im a big fan of drumstep although that witchcraft remix is better than the original imo. heard a heist drumstep tune the other day that made me cringe. i think this could be cool in the hands of the right producer though.

So Amit would be the original and IMO the best Drumstep producer?

I think this record came out in something like 2003? Dual sense on the flip. I used to thrash this record.

when amit started out they called that half step styled drum and bass 'dub step' - before the new dubstep style evolved and took on that name

true story

its missing a snare and the world invents a new genre

2 snares boss, 2

 

 I can't wait for the new genre missing 3 hi hats

I'm hanging for Silent Step, just quietly

dub hop already exists, wordsound from nyc had that locked a decade ago...

that's called classical music yew git

ah. reminds me of when you came up to me at that amon tobin gig when i was playing some amit... when dubstep came around, i knew without doubt you'd be into it.


lol
wasnt hatcha's dubstep allstars mix out in 2003?


fuck this naming thing on numbers of snares, kicks and/or tempos. its all bass and drums.

Drumstep= a terrible insult to both dubstep and drum and bass. Sorry, the shit that is being called drumstep is rubbish.

amit has been producing since 2002



the first time i ever saw the word dubstep was on doa in reference to amit, just sayin...

* this post is not meant for anything else but good old-fashioned clarity , if anyone is offended by true information and doesn't want to know the truth, stop reading now *   

You'll find the first ever reference to Dubstep was the Horsepower Productions interview on XLR8R magazine...2002 (pretty sure it was on net blogs before that, but who knows )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep < read it, it goes back to the roots of the sound as a whole...
"1999–2002: Origins

The sound of dubstep originally came out of productions by El-B, Steve Gurley, Oris Jay, and Zed Bias in 1999-2000. Ammunition Promotions, who run the influential club Forward>> and have managed many proto dubstep record labels (including Tempa, Soulja, Road, Vehicle, Shelflife, Texture, Lifestyle and Bingo), began to use the term "dubstep" to describe this style of music in around 2002. The term's use in a 2002 XLR8R cover story (featuring Horsepower Productions on the cover) contributed to it becoming established as the name of the genre. It gained full acceptance with the Dubstep Allstars Vol 1 CD (Tempa) mixed by DJ Hatcha. "

I have mentioned this before (sans magazine name perhaps) but because i'm not always on the radar and various shit-talk is sadly believed, people tend to forget these things.
    So, yes, genres don't always come from the minds of the people producing the sounds, (in this case it was the group of music labels who used the term), it also may have been the writer or editors of the magazine(s) that created the terminology, and yes, there has been articles on that in itself...

like it or not everyone, there has to be some way for any creator of intellectual property to differentiate their product from another product... it's "marketing"

( and now, the fur flies )

once again, its all bass and drums

pffft to the tempo nazis

quite like this
