is it brostep?

part of me just gets lost/bored without kick drums

personally i prefer dancing to stuff that has a little more space in the beat, too much four on the floor and i start to feel like a marionette

xxpost I'd prefer a good house tune to either really but that's obv.

too much four on the floor and i start to feel like a marionette

i think that really sums up the break between disco/rave and rap/r&b

too much four on the floor and i start to feel like a marionette

yeah i'm still reconciling my househead roots with not really caring about house anymore

with disco/rave you're actively trying to get to that trance-state, whereas in rap/r&b you're trying to hook up

personally i've always been a) in steady relationships and b) into "doing drugs" instead of drinking so it's been disco/rave for me all the way

See it's not the 4x4 in these tunes that bugs me but the way it's overlaid with the halfstep beat so that each cancels out the other's nuance.

I don't think it would occur to me to get "over" a 4X4 beat much more than it would occur to me to get over 4/4 time signatures - there is always sufficient variation possible within that framework. But the post-Benga sound really wants to make a virtue of not trying most of the time.

And I really liked a few early examples of this kind of beat, like Quest's "The Seafront".

no it's actually pretty :-)

haha i listened to the first youtube posted itt and now i feel like 'brostep' is just the less gay verz of early 00s 'club remix' hex hector style house music

"it's not right, but it's brostep"

wait what

Not sure about the Katy Perry remix but i quite like Noisia's Machine Gun.

alternate thread title: if you close your eyes does it potentially sound like it could be a segment from a rammstein show?

and here's this too for good measure

SEXY DUBSTEP

^^ I was trying to remember where I'd heard that Noisia original track and I realized it's in Wipeout HD! Um, works pretty well there.

"sexy dubstep"

actually in regard to the moombahton mention earlier i sort of wanted to know if it was just random talking or specifically in reference to the misogyny talk around moombahton's image as of late (and thus relating it to the bro-ness, otherwise i don't usually stick dubstep and moombahton in the same camp). but didn't. THEN I DID

I'm going to have to agree with Tim about the base Benga formula really making things drag out. I'm going to have to pull out the classic "It was great the first thousand times I heard it..." line. :(

i like moombahton and i don't like dubstep. i brought it up cuz moombahton has bro elements. i don't usually think of them together either. i mean there are plenty of moombahton remixes that would probably delight a room full of drunken bros. maybe the bros are already down with it anyway. i don't go outside.

is brostep the moment when America finally explicitly gets into "electronica"? that would be sort of hilarious to me.

you mean not counting electronic pop and hiphop?

for whatever reason?

Christ.

i need to go listen to a bunch of gabba to get this shit out of my system

there, now THAT'S how you pander to the masses

crut, right, not counting electronic pop and hip hop. i'm talking about you know, far out soundzzz with no lyrics and 120 bpm

i can't take too much at one time but i like how the gaslamp killer will toss bits into a set for effect, alongside old breaks & psych etc.

honestly i think if this sound wasn't EVERYWHERE right now i'd be more amenable to this being the way dubstep finally pops itself out

i was always kinda hoping for a lenny dee/omar santana revolution in this country. alas, not to be. way better than friggin' atari teenage riot and still plenty noisy and metally and all that good stuff. i've spent many an hour watching lenny dee live sets in crummy looking hoodrat clubs around the globe. just not a strong enough network of bars/clubs/deejays to make it work/happen here.

uh, watching on youtube that is.

As someone who was pushing dubstep in 2006, all I can say is "I apologize".

I'm pretty sure this will never happen. audience needs a narrative ie, words

There was some sort-of-brostep played between events at uh... the UFC match I went to.

damn them. granted, i should probably check out some, uh, "funky", but i never seem to want to.

You should! It's kinda like moombahton, except faster (good) and British (jury's out). Tbh, I pretty much got into it in the first place bc it had similar beats to reggaeton.

I think I am apologetically down with brastep btw:

Is this stuff really more popular here than Prodigy/Chem Bros/Fatboy et al were in the mid-late 90s? On its way, maybe, but Fat of the Land was a #1 album. While acknowledging that no one buys albums anymore, brostep doesn't seem quite on that level yet. It could get there tho.
