Whats the difference between 2step & Garage?

[ketamine]

Or are they two names for same thing, like Hiphop / Rap

[wub]

Garage doesn't have to be 2step...you can get 4x4 garage, for example.

But you can't get 2step house.

[hoody]

and hiphop is not another name for rap btw but rap is a part of hiphop

[skimpi]

Well, garage is house from new york that has a certain bounce to it. 2 step is a strain of UK garage that doesn't have a 4X4 kick drum pattern, and has influences from drum and bass and breakbeat with then flexing beats and low sub basslines.

i was about to ask the same question. youtube examples anyone?

[Durag]

Imo Garage usually has a 4X4 beat and 2-Step has different drum patterns, like someone said above it takes infulences from breakbeat and d'n'b. 2-Step also has those low basslines.

Burials drums on his debut LP were very '2-Step ish', if that gives u an idea of what they sound like. EL-B is a good example of darker 2-Step.

I could be wrong with my description of the differences, thats just how i see it.

I thought this was a set-up for a joke

[_TraX_]

sometimes tunes labelled as 2step have a rather 4x4 beat.
i wonder wat 4x5 would sound like
or 5x4

one of my fav's is in Untrue by Burial, still can't tell if it's 4x4 or what, mysterious rythm

4x4 means it has a kick on every beat, theres no 4x5 or 5x4, your confusing it with time signatures.Untrue is in a 4/4 time signature, but it isnt 4x4 in the sense that it has a 4-to-the-floor beat.



That is a 4x4 beat

All 2-step is garage but not all garage is 2-step, init?

[timmyyabas]

you get 2 step drum n' bass too, or atleast 2 step drums in alot of drum n' bass. it's shit.

[garethom]

haha i know i was just taking the piss. since we're on a todd ed's thing


you're right though, when i think of 4/4, time signature always comes to mind

4/4 IS a time signature.

i thought 2-step was just a swingy broken beat, sometimes with a 4x4 kick, sometimes not. And Garage as a specific genre characterized by a 2-step beat around 130-140bpm, with cut-up vocals and stabby chords. Its all semantics anyway.
