So yeah, everyone knows what dubstep is ye? Well, a genre that is a close relative to both dubstep and d&b is drumstep, and it's just as ill for various reasons. Featuring the kind of heavy dubstep beat you normally hear, but speeding things up a bit to close the gap between it and d&b, it really creates a different kind of swagger!
Today I wanted to point out the differences, by showing you two songs, a dubstep classic, and then its drumstep remix counterpart to make it proper obvious. Into the fray we go!
DatsiK - Firepower. Oh, this song. This, song. The amount of times it's been on repeat, where I've heard it in mixes and when someone has dropped it live added up, would probably mean I've listened to it A LOT OF DAMN TIMES. Arguably one of DatsiK's biggest tunes, so catchy and heavy, perfect vocal samples and all, it really shows how great dubstep can be sometimes.
And, if you'd happen to tire of it..
You've got this to cover for ya. Levelas remix of Firepower is stunning! DatsiK dropped this at a gig I attended. Me myself, friends and probably the rest of the audience, all had our jaws drop about 5 feet. The sheer awesomeness of this song on a good audio rig is undescribable. All in all, Levela took Firepower, performed the exact changes needed to make it a drumstep banger, and he did it very well.
This should properly show you the meaning of the genre drumstep! If you have enough money to buy just one of these tunes, best be a beggar for an afternoon and buy both anyway. (They're available on beatport.com real cheap, actually)
Later there'll be another drumstep tune by a bunch of guys who you're very likely to already adore if you've stayed updated! Cyaaa~
