Brostep / Skrillex and the Forum.

[cmgoodman1226]

Sincere question here: what's the general consensus on this track:


I know it's brostep and is lightyears away from the original sound, but to me it's still really complex and melodic, has plenty of sub, and a focus on neuro-esque reeses as opposed to a hodgepodge of different sounds that don't particularly fit together. It's also got a melody that actually seems to go somewhere. To me it's infinnitly better than half the guys making brostep today (albeit I know to most of you that's like saying it's better than being incredibly awful). What are people's thoughts?

I don't really understand why we're not allowed to post funny Skrillex jpegs/gifs anymore? The two times in this thread that happened were the funniest bits of it.

I like that one. Tasha Baxter is a great vocalist as well. Her voice in Cloudburn is
Feed Me or Spor or w/e he's called has some spot on growls. Pink Lady is a banger too

thoughts on Giant?






Personally, i don't tag them as brostep.
1, because i listen to them.
2, they're signed to Hench.
3, their production is actually good, not under-produced, lots of thought seems to go into their production.

but at the same token, lots of mid-range/higher noises, sometimes honestly lacking sub, but i love their tunes, really dig Giant.

yeah i hate the word swag too.

Mensah used the word Funk, pretty much exactly what Jakes said but replace swag with Funk, i think it sounds a lot better too.

I like Feed Me/Spor when he doesn't try too hard to be Skrillex.

[Maccaveli]

Strange Behaviour is a big tune, I definitely like Feed Me more than most other bro artists. I like his electro house too. That Jakes quote is pretty much spot on too, which is why I don't consider Koan Sound brostep despite the sounds they use and the producers they associate with

I agree in that his recent output has been far too similar to skrillex, and I don't like it at all, but it's a hell of a lot more listanable than skrillex. And he's far more talented than skrillex could ever dream of being IMO. He has so many neuro classics.

This, if I can groove to it then it's not brostep in my book

I think what we're trying to say here is "brostep is 140bpm edm that I DON'T like, and dubstep is 140bpm edm that I DO like"

Except a lot of us are talking about brostep that we do like...

.... Just read the title of the main thread, then realise that the majority of the people on DSF are on the deeper vibe, the original sounds.
I just thought it was the captain obvious that didn't need repeating, known fact little brother!

now that is cleared up,

You both patronised everyone and missed the point entirely, is how
