So yeah, we have another new genre in DnB music. Its Dubstep takin WAY to far.
Its called Gorestep, and it will kill your ears, in the best possible way.

The distinctive styles in a nut shell:

Jungle = rolling breaks like the Amen
Hardstep = pretty much everything that came out of True Playaz (DJ Zinc, Dope Skillz, Pascal, Hype) during the early to mid-nineties
Liquid funk = calmer moods and ambient samples, often with big basslines
Intelligent dnb = very calm, ambient drum and bass; easy listening
Neurofunk = heavy breaks, cold atmosphere and synth stabs
Techstep = Influenced by techno, it's another cold style pioneered by Ed Ruch & Optical and Trace
Darkstep = Long, ominous ambient pads that lead to violent, erratic breakbeats like the Amen. Check out 'Timeline' Evol Intent
Breakcore = it's sort of a genre in its own right, the breakbeats are very fast and complex.

Clownstep styles:
Jazzstep = jazz with an 175bpm breakbeat. Double bass samples are usually used. Check out 'Tough At The Top' by E-Z Rollers
Sambass = 'Brazilian dnb'; Latin-American influenced
Trancestep = I have nooooo idea. From what i've heard, it's eurotrash, dnb and trance rolled into one
Raggacore = somewhere between ragga jungle and breakcore
Darkcore = similar to darkstep but with more horror movie samples
Techno dnb = jungle with an 808 drum machine. Check out 'Vessel' by Universal Project
Ragga jungle = Jamaican sample or vocals and more reggae influenced

actually it's not that bad,
though it is missing the wobbly wobbly bass.

and used the same lfo settings on whatever samples/patch that is as they would for traditional wobwob bass.

Goldie is good stuff.

I listen to quite a bit of IDnB (I think it's a stupid name, but whatever).

You are going to have to teach me how to do that, because I can't even figure out how to start using the thing, much less record the music I might make.

I can! It's rather easy. If you have any experience using any tracker it'll be really easy.
It's fun because you can create your own instruments. :>

That search for sounds is my favorite thing about electronic music. I could spend all day tweaking a sample, looking for some new sound that I've never heard before. I'm not good enough to make true DnB yet, so previously everything I had done was in hip-hop or trance.

If we are ever going to the same tournament, I'll see if I can't bring my computer laptop and will see if you can't help me figure it out.
If you aren't comfortable bringing yourset up, or if I'm not lol then maybe I'll come up for a lesson or two. Miami isn't that far away.

I've named my new tournament after my favorite breakcore label, **** Rock Disco.
