Is dubstep the last major shift in dance music?

[dubremix]

Latest shift, but never the last. It certainly is fresh, but I cannot not handle another doof doof doof doof 4 on the floor track...

[Shift Recordings]

So is this the last seriously major shift in dance music?

Latest shift, but never the last.

dance music will shift forever

thats why it will be seen as a big shift.

Music (be it dance or whatever) will always experience major shifts....

There will always be shifts as things mutate, people experiment and previous unaffordable technology lands in brand new hands.

I love this thread!!!!



More cool sayings about music and shifting, please!

[dubstee]

slow down a 170bpm dnb track to its half 85 bpm - what you get is dubstep (ok, there is no pitch correction).
double the speed of a 90bpm dubstep track - what you get is dnb (ok, there is no pitch correction).

wat

[human?]

dubstep is just a word. the map is not the territory.

[polho]

Well there have already been major shifts in dubstep. If anything, dubstep has really made me pay attention to all emerging genres.

Also: Weed. What if DMT, for example, was to become as easily available one day ?

[pdomino]

lol @ Shift.

For some people, like me, this music is a progressional thing.

New genres will come and go, my mates in to 'Baltimore house' at the moment or summet lol

I was thinking the other day, if someone had come to you in like 2000 or whatever and told you that in 8 years the biggest new thing in dance music was Half time, with ridiculous basslines, what would you have thought??

[apathesis]

slow down a 170bpm dnb track to its half 85 bpm - what you get is dubstep (ok, there is no pitch correction).
double the speed of a 90bpm dubstep track - what you get is dnb (ok, there is no pitch correction). the structure is the same. vice versa.

if you look at the electronic music genre evolution at the moment the most exiting things happen in Dubstep.

there will be time when Dubstep will burn out just like dnb.

and all this time my dubstep tracks have been around 140... does that mean it's gonna implode?

Lol who the hell makes dubstep at 90bpm??

You'd just be making a never ending DnB breakdown

[bscorpio]

dubstep is the last form of music, the end of the world is nigh.

[contakt]

One day, every possible combination of note, pitch and sound will have been produced and we will have essentially 'run out of music'. By the time this happens, new tunes (which will only appear two or three times a year due to the lack of available new musical combinations) will be selling at over $4000 a unit and the world's economy will be entirely imbalanced.

Yet another example of man's insatiable greed. Tsk.

. So is this the last seriously major shift in dance music?

No.

This is what WILL happen people - heed the warning or pay the price!

[Tangka]

one thing that breaks my heart is those of us who think it's nothing more than slowed down dnb

keeping yourself in a box may work for you but dont do it to me FFS

Well done, gold medal for being hip and cool 15 years ago.
It was an example.

To be fair there are a handful of dubstep tunes written at 90bpm but it could be argued that those tunes are actually dnb just with a halfstep beat. Most dubstep is 70/140 give or take. Listen to dubstep or ask some producers

It is what it is, who care what some people think it is?

Try listening again at 45rpm.
