Drumstep and Liquid Drumstep

[deadly_habit]

if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it's not a badger.

same sounds, same bpm different drum pattern

i love dnb, i love dubstep, but drumstep is just a really stupid term like something a hipster or scenester with no prior knowledge of either genre would come up with

Don't care who came up with it. Why does a new name hurt you so much though? Fuck hipsters and scensters as you call them.. to be honest I don't even know what they are. I have been into DnB, Dubstep since year dot and don't really pay attention to other people's opinions (as you may have noticed). I like what I like, and often appreciate what I don't like.
BTW, that Heist tune you posted ain't Drumstep! Can you really not hear the difference?

yea my ears are the ones that need to be checked
what's dnb? wait i'll take a quick stop to my garage...

eh? the Heist tune you posted still ain't Drumstep, no matter how many pictures of boxes you post!

hey Deadly Habit, you really shouldn't keep your vinyl like that!

it's horrible for the grooves to be stacked vertically!



also, this thread is AWESOME.

p.s. also, also, do they make drumfunk drumstep?

that's because it's dnb same as the one posted earlier in this thread, i was pointing out the only difference between the two is the drum pattern

@ prisoner i know i just pulled some out from sideways mode to show a couple of em instead of just a row of sleeves

pretty sure that parson an pearson sound are completely different people...pearson sound is ramadanman and unless if he's living a double life as a texan, parson is not the same person as pearson, this ain't a par...son

Damn, you're right That's awkward

[fractal]

am i crazy or is chico red the new rinseballs? kid chats bare nonsense

how can you even be on this forum and not know scuba, or even hotflush for that matter... what a joke

Scuba isn't my thing. And I have many Hotflush vinyls from 2004. Wanna buy them?

So, what you are saying is that you do not like scuba's production but you do own and support the selection of tunes be picked to release under his label? Sorry to be a bit pedantic, I just can't seem to make sense of a majority of your posts... Do I want to buy them? Um, no thanks, there is a buy/sell thread on here though if that's your aim. Are any of your thoughts linear? Bit strange to offer to sell wax in the middle of a discussion

Here's a fair question: what makes a tune "liquid"? Does that make the other styles "solid"?

[pr0paganja]

This is the only one HALFSTEP D'N'B track i like.Its very filth

FIXED

I think its easier to say drumstep than halfstep d'n'b ,isnt it?

[fractal]

or we can all just say bass music and no longer argue about silly names and nonsensical adjectives

re: liquid - don't know, don't care... I didn't start the thread. Does that term bother you too?
And Hotflush were very bass heavy back in '04. I haven't bought one for a while. My offer of sale was by the by... the only vinyls I regret buying and would want to sell are some dodgy garage boots!

[fractal]

why would a term bother me? i would just like to understand the use and application of it. never understood it when they applied it to dnb, don't understand it now. it's like calling a style of music "intelligent", just makes me wonder what people mean is all

[chico_red]

so when descibing to a friend what tune a DJ played at the end of his set.. you can just say "bass music"? Genres names are there just as descriptive terms. It makes shopping for and finding tunes easier.. that's all.

no i would describe the sound, time signature, beat pattern and melody... also the use of samples if i spot them... i don't think i could say liquid drumfunk and have the other person understand me

[wooda916]

what a stupid name for a non-genre.

Its just drum and bass except half step. its nothing new its been around for ages and it doesn't need defining and setting aside as a separate thing.

Heres a mix by a guy called Dabbler posted on here in 2008 thats all 170 half step beats.

next time i chat with heist on aim i'll ask him his take on it and post the convo here if it's cool with him

[elibomyekip]

Like... This is from 1997



This is from 2010



To me, and non-idiots, it's the same thing. It's not new.

[kinggraham]

this is almost as bad as the 'joystep' thing a while ago.

[therapist]

Quality thread. I'm torn between agreeing that genre names really are useful and just hating the term drum-step so much.

liquid has rhodes pianos.

DUH.
