thats the vibe thats def taken over this thread. Classic dubstep and post dubstep sounds. Most of us have moved on from the modern brosteppy sound tho I do occasionally enjoy it(if its live for instance)

To each his own, but I'm glad to see more goodness and stuff along the lines of my "flavor" in this thread ...


Only time I can dig the heavy brostep stuff is at live shows, and usually if/when I'm drunk haha. I've noticed if I take LSD at shows/parties where lots of brostep is played I become incredibly jaded and analytical about what's being played . But for the most part, I'm over the heavy stuff, occasionally I'll get in the mood for some classic "filth"...Even then, only in small doses.



Perhaps it's just me, but it almost seems as if garage/future garage sounds are growing in popularity also. I don't know all that much when it comes to the history of dubstep, but wasn't dubstep birthed from garage in a way?...



I garage sorta sounds, as well as techno influenced stuff. Dubtech or what ever you want to call it...

So I'm curious what you dubstep enthusiasts (or some could say - elitists ) consider brostep and what not -

I'm assuming you mean dub that's built upon extremely high mixed wobbly bass and primarily Kick-1 Snare/Clap-3 patterns...
Something like this?

I consider "Brostep" to be all that heavy, mediocre produced stuff....That video you posted is a fine example of brostep. Producers like Excision, Datsik, Bassnectar, Borgore, etc all fall into the category of brostep IMO....



I think the Urban dictionary defines it best though>>>


Brostep is a relatively new sub-genre of music (born out of Dubstep micro-genre) which has no emphasis on soul.

The goal appears to be to produce music as fast as you possibly can, without placing any emphasis on quality.

Unlike Dubstep where sub bass is key, Brostep places more emphasis on ratty high frequency samples and oscillators that arent even low frequency. Toss in a few hip hop vocal samples and you are well on your way to being the worlds next big Brostep producer.


Brostepper - Man, I cant wait to see Rusko & 6blocc.

Dubstepper - Man, I cant wait to see Mala & Kode 9.





Speaking of brostep, here is an interesting video of what Rusko has to say about "brostep">>>>

After hearing that, I have a wee bit more respect for Rusko...But at the same time, dude sounds full of him self, saying that he's the reason and the one who created "brostep"



As I already said, I can dig it...There's a time and place, sure it is fun to rage out sometimes at live shows but even then I get tired of it after a set or two. I can't stand it when someone throws down a set from beginning to end full of nothing but "face melting" tracks....And there are most definitely heavy hard hitting songs that are well produced and creative, but most of this shit today is just that....SHIT.


It's all about the deep, melodic, lush, dubby, soulful sounds . Stuff that you can actually dance and get a groove to.




on the matter...

I agree mostly with what you have to say about it... I don't like the tag 'brostep' much though It draws a lot of parallels the metal worlds equivalent: there is deathcore whose equivalent to the wobble is the breakdown... then there's brocore which is just like... ALL breakdowns.
Shit sucks.

I still like a lot of hard, heavy, wobbawobba dub for parties, working out and such... and its fun as hell to dance to (when I'm rolling out of mind) but I would like to see much more melodic play and texture in tracks as well - not many producers I've heard have found a good balance between the two.

The rusko video is kinda funny, he does seem a bit stuck up - declaring that he created brostep and deciding what dubstep should be about and not If he doesn't think metal and dubstep/brostep are actually very closely related then he should analyze the drums and structure of the songs in the genre a bit more.... Deathcore often uses the same build up breakdown formulas - as well as the same half time feel triplet kicks during the breakdown/wobbly parts. My dancing style for heavier dubstep is rather similar to that of my deathcore dancing style
