| | Techstep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Techstep is a major subgenre of drum and bass, characterized by a dark, sci-fi mood, near-exclusive use of synthesised or sampled sound sources, and influences from industrial and techno music at the forefront. | | | Techstep is sometimes confused with neurofunk, a derivative of techstep which places more emphasis on atmosphere and borrows influence from Funk music. | | | Ed Rush and Optical, Matrix, Fierce (Virus Recordings) |

| | Brilliant techstep tracks like Capone's "Guess Who" and Souljah's "Down with the Lites" roar onto the sound stage with shotgun-blast snare, gut-wrenchingly distorted bass drained of all its funk, and relentlessly dark overtones. | | | Call it music as psychological warfare: techstep can be fearfully compelling for all its alienated-adolescent posturing. | | | Techstep gets a boost of rolling, funky breaks here, with excellent tracks by Capone, Dillinja, Souljah, and others. |

| | But Industry is also possibly techstep's only pop album, its weeping minor-key melodies for once sticking in your head as much as the beats do. | | | But for now I want to remember the techstep that was, or might have been, and listen to Dom & Roland's "Elektra", which is my vote for the best techstep track ever. | | | we are still living in the age of techstep, regardless of whether specific d&b tracks themselves try to sound like funk or house or 'ardkore or whatever). |

| | No U-Turn Records - drum and bass music - Simon Reynolds' overview of techstep and neurofunk |
| | If Belgian brutalism and early breakbeat 'ardkore resembled sixties garage punk, techstep is like seventies punk rock, in so far as it's not a simple back-to-basics manoeuvre, but an isolation and intensification of the most aggresive, non RandB elements in its precursor. | | | The new sound made you feel like you were caged in a pressure-cooker of paroxysmic breaks and plasmic bass. | | | In 1996, a new sub-genre of jungle began to coalesce called 'techstep', a dirge-like death-funk characterized by harsh industrial timbres and bludgeoning 'butcher's block' beats. |

| | The Net Net: What You Need to Know About Electronica |
| | Techstep's masculine, anxiety-compressed ethos is notably accessible to those weaned on the anti-syncopated heartbeat of punk, so critics nervous about the overshadowing of guitar-driven rock may well flock to the techstep bandwagon. | | | Very little techstep is available on CD as of this writing; the one essential buy is Torque on No U Turn. | | | Avant-garde: Not really a sound at all, but a method: jungle breakbeats as bedroom listening, a handy new compositional tool. |

| | Hardstep / Techstep |
| | The likes of No-U-Turn records had firmly established the techstep scene with releases like WHAT`S UP and others like Source Direct already creating that soundtrack feel to their music. | | | One might think that this was a good thing to move away from the whole ragga thing because it branded the music too much and gave it a bad reputation. | | | Another new direction born in this style was the use of more that one style of break which gave the track that "stepping" style. |

| | Many people were turned off from this new style, in its stark contrast to the fun-loving jungle that had ruled dancefloors up until then, however, the start of techstep also marked an inflow of people into minimal techno, noise, punk, and other noise types of music. | | | The pace of the breaks, also, lends itself to the rolling feel of the track; the amens do not dominate here; they creep along with the track, something else rarely felt in darker drum and bass. | | | Headed by Nico, DJ Trace, and Ed Rush, "Torque" is a masterpiece of minimal, rolling drum and bass. |

| | However as you say, although the norm is hard at the moment, more musical jungle is creeping back, and in the cyclical world of music *that* will probably become the norm - which I personally think will be better for the scene. | | | Sure there might have been more Amen breaks around, and some crews like No U-Turn were doing dark stuff, but the music was less noisy and more "happy" then. | | | Intelligence overlapped a fair bit - DJ Rap was playing what can be described as Intelligent (Future Sound of Hardcore, Urban Culture, early Alex Reece) at least a year before Bukem came onto the scene. |

| | For the most part, drum and bass is a form of dance music, designed to be heard in clubs. | | | In 1997, a funky, double-bass oriented sound came to the forefront, and gained some mainstream success with Roni Size Reprazent's New Forms album winning the UK's Mercury Prize. | | | Techstep took new sounds and technologies and applied them to jungle. |

| | Whereas techstep would dilate single ideas over a whole track, the music here tends to switch mood and tone every eight bars. | | | Plasticman has sometimes been compared to techno but his sound, like that of the two other artists, is less like techno than techstep: the austere, mechanoid microgenre into which jungle calcified in the late 90s. | | | Techstep was what happened when the last traces of ecstasy in rave culture drained away, leaving a paradoxical joy-in-dread and pleasure-in-tension. |

| | Within jungle you have your techstep, dark stuff. | | | Because of this, the music that tends to be popular with the established drum and bass fans, or "junglists," can change drastically from month to month. | | | But with artists such as 1.8.7., Method One (who remixed Deee-Lite's "Call Me") and Jamie Myerson creating material that falls outside of techstep's constraints, this is already starting to change. |

| | Drum & Bass Arena - Your Say |
| | This ain't no flash in the pan, either...Konflict seemed to break the sound a few years back, with super-crisp production and techno-style lines complementing the b-line, but now it seems that a whole range of producers are mashing up that 'dark' feel with a sound that is taking techstep closer and closer to techno. | | | However, as the technology increases, and the artists continue to push the sound, new things are always gonna happen within the styles, and techstep as a style has some of the most innovative producers you'll find in electronica. | | | Everybody is talking about twostep garage going mad over in Europe, and we are feeling that a bit over here in NZ in terms of radioplay, but watching the garage->speed garage->two step sound progression, its almost possible to draw a parallel within the techstep vein. |
