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.

Just found this song, Loving it so far.

Paragon X9 - Chaos Impact

EDIT: Actually all of Paragon's Music is damn good..

Just acquired Deadmou5, and I like most of it.

Anyone have any techno-y stuff?

You might like The Island by Pendulum

Both parts are good but I like the second the best. first is more kick'n snare but the second focuses more around bass and synth.

4x4=12 by deamau5 is an amazing album. pendulum's first album hold your colour is very DNB

4x4=12 was really good.

Would this qualify as dubstep?

No, Dubstep's bass goes lower, is much more upbeat than that and uses more synth/techno like instruments.

possibly more Beats per second aswell.

Upbeat? Jeez, every time I've listened to it, it didn't seem so. How about this, then?
