Another typical

"Why no this?"

Flux Pavilion. Probably the most Balanced Dubstep you will ever hear...

I Can't Stop

Gold Dust

Digital Controller

Also one of my personal Favourites, Not Flux but still pretty god damn sexy: Sergeant Smash

That's horrible... Here I thought it was gonna say something like all dubstep sounds like a robot falling down stairs... but wtf.



its like happy2bhardcore... its like anabolic frolic tried making dubstep...


In other news, while trying to make dubstep... again... I got so pissed I said "Screw it I'll use a sine-wave and FM the hell out of it".... and it kinda worked 0_o, so if anyone wants to Check my dubs, that'd be great. It's pretty bare-bones right now and doesn't really have a hook. Mostly just a test track. I could do more but I have to get groceries and stuff.

uh, lol. you don't like dubstep. you like brostep. that is all. you should probably make a thread just for brostep because that's where half the posts should be split to. ask anyone on IDMF or similar music-geared forums. the name for what you think is "hard dubstep" or "dark dub"(which are both dumb names), is called brostep. it is an accepted term, and people mixing up the two really should learn the difference(artists included)

Burial is more like the stereotypical-before-brostep-became-all-the-rage regular dubstep artist, not an outlier in the genre.


also not saying brostep is bad, it's just not dubstep aaa!!!!!!!

Electronica was at one time an accepted name. these same people also accept having at least 5 different genres, that sound nothing alike, all called 'rave'. All I'm saying is "Brostep" Is a retarded name, but some people seem to have a raging bro-ner for calling everything bro-something-or-other. THATS retarded. Dark dub, Industrial-dub, Grunge-step, all work as names. considering they already have "Dark trance, dark techno, Darksynth, Industrial rock, Industrial techno, Industrial trance, Industrial DNB, Those "Sub-titles" work just as well in conjuction with dubstep, which is about what your 'brostep' sounds like.

but you see dubstep was DARK TO BEGIN WITH and that was THE SOUND OF IT

skrillex comes by shits all over that bros-up and the bro-chavs go bro-crazy for their brostep. skrillex's songs barely have any bass compared to something real. the midrange screeching is a defining part of brostep, and skrillex's songs play the part.

if you want to file for a name change for brostep popularize your own term(won't happen)


also is that the default FL-studio clap because it sounds like it. when you can hear individual oscillations in the bassline on pitch increase it sounds pretty low-quality production-wise. its ok. you've got the basic part sort of figured out, now do better.

also brostep is probably called brostep because it does sound very gay

I dont see the difference between this "Brostep" and Dubstep.
At all...

To me if it's hardcore bass going on with a decent electric synth in the back ground, Its dubstep.

Also more UKF

I'm guessing the difference is how loud the frequencies are below 500Hz compared to everything else. Sadly by that logic I could just mess with the EQ on anything and it would magically be dubstep, which just shows how stupid that reasoning is. In other news, doobstap. Sadly I think all his remixes are identical.

One focuses on things like drops, danceable beats and thick synths.

The other focuses more on atmosphere and mood.

If it makes you feel any better, it was later discovered she basically faked the whole thing. Don't get all bent outta shape.

Techno was originally dark, but then there was a Dark techno.
Jungle was dark, and then they got a dark jungle which was like super-dark.
Adding "Dark" to the front of a genre doesn't mean that "it's dark, and the one that doesn't say dark isn't dark at all", it just means that its darkER, gritty-ER, and more 'evil' sounding than its predecessor.

Also no, I never use ANY of the default FL Drums, That was actually an old drum machine from the 80's. I forget which one, it was before the 303 (I think). It wasn't a 303, 808, or 909. although I did use an 808 kick on top of a different kick. and yes, I plan on using the FM Bass method again to make a *real* dubstep/brostep track... and you know what...

You say try to popularize a different name... Then I will. I've seen it happen within a few years. I just need to figure out defining features outside of dubstep and ....'brostep', so that it is neither, but bears similarity to both.


Also quick question, I keep hearing the term "Drop", which I dont understand. It's not a sweep, its not droping the drums for a moment, and... I just don't get what that term is referring to, because I've heard it used for totally different things.

a musical drop is where the main instruments in a song cut out for a moment(or were previously not going hard at all), and suddenly come in with full intensity. the suspense of the quiet moment/anticipation of the song coming back in is exciting to most.

Has anyone heard of James Blake? He's touted as post dubstep, but see what you think.

brostep seems to be what is coming to be the next favorite of most dubstep fans -- I.E post dubstep(is that not how post-genres are made?)


but that song is great, I giggled when the drink on my table was vibing just like the water in that video. pretty cool use of actual instruments and sub-30hz wobbling bass.

Watching him live is fuuuuuuun, supported him for a few gigs before christmas, chest shattering bass is GOOD FOR THE SOUL.
