Halfstep tunes!

Post by skribb » Wed Feb 22, 2012 11:40 pm

Sup.

Since hearing IPECAC by mindkontrolultra (Link for the interested), I've been quite taken with halfstep, but I've only found a handful of tunes and most of them are from Soundcloud, and since halfstep isn't really an established genre name (and debatably a "genre" in the first place), I haven't really found much else. So I come to you in hopes of getting recommendations of labels, tracks or producers. Any takers? :R:

Oh, and just to start it off I'll post a few recommendations of my own:
N. Killah - Gagarin
http://nkillah.promodj.com/tracks/25354 ... NLOAD.html

Skimask - Lockdown (Mind Killa Remix) <--- WICKED as fuck
Soundcloud

Rafi-ki - Pockets to nowhere
Soundcloud

0dc - dubwwalkkk
Soundcloud

tigerbeat6 - Werewolf Gangbang
Soundcloud

Circular Discharge & The Rippers - Daybreak
http://the-rippers.promodj.com/tracks/2 ... dings.html

Fade - Midnight Express

If this is the future, it seems highly livable: shiny, cool and comfortably dissonant. Like a low dose of ketamine in an empty, luminous airport hall in northern Japan, eating avocado and waiting for the universe to arrive.

oddly, no. and ive always had an issue with that. Halfstep is a half time 2 step. thus it should actually be 1 step, or simply 'step'. quarter step should thus move up to halfstep. two halfsteps equal a 2 step, and thats just fucked.

wouldnt call it a genre either.

My perception of the world has just been fucked. Up is now down. Left is right. Skrillex isn't shit. Everythings backwards!

HOW MANY STEPS COULD A DUBSTEP STEP IF A 2STEP COULD HALVE STEPS

think about it

And then there's PiStep... it's in 3.14159265 time. :6:

Not to be confused with PissStep, of course.

No, it's the companion piece - "Sonic Warfare: Limericks, Riddles, and Tongue Twisters"
