i wouldnt call drumstep dubstep mainly because its generally a full 20-30bpm faster?

i mean get a house track, pump that up to 155, your not going to call it hosue are you? even if all the sounds are the same

sooooo confusing!

how do you put this track into a genre then? it has drumstep, dubstep, happy hardcore, drum and bass, and a hint of rock all in the 1 song (sheer brilliance In my opinion)

i dig lava house

is that like sol mixing brazillian house? :teef:

LOL irl

sooooo confusing!

glad im not the only one thats finding all this a bit confusing

i guess the more i listen to the genre, the more ill be able to understand it thou ey

I don't find it confusing at all, when you hear a drumstep track you tell straight away that it's way too fast to be dubstep, yes it has the same elements as dubstep but it will clearly have a drum n bass speed to it, the more you listen to these types of tracks easier it becomes

^This.

When i started DJing and listening to more EDM styles I had a rough idea, but had trouble telling between some genres. Now I can listen to a lot of different EDM music and tell you what genre it is, and it has just come with listening and mixing music more.

I do get the odd track on beatport that they will put under prog house and its very debatable whether you think its prog or not but yer, just listening to each of the styles of music and you will get a pretty good idea of what the different genres sound like.

Exactly Mitch, it's funny cause even beatport sometimes calls a drumstep track dubstep, only because it has the elements of dubstep, but clearly has the tempo of DnB, in those cases I just change the genre amongst my own collection so I know what it is

i can vouch for nadastrom pioneering mommbahton, i remember watching one of his sets maybe 3 years ago and he was droping it then and i was just thinking 'how the fuck did he slow this song down with out losing quality) obviously now its mombahton edits.

Mombahcore is kind of like the dubstep brother of mombahton, it dosent have the doutch house synth's and are often remix's of dubstep tracks.

before i came to this forum i didnt even know drumstep and moombahton existed, now i can usually pick the genre of a track when it plays.

some tracks its easy to pick out the differences but some tracks are really difficult

I've heard both but didn't know they had a particular name for them... every day is a school day.

digging this...

Much prefer moombahton as 110 is round about my territory for tracks.

^as above shows, you have to remember the music usually comes first and if it slightly diff than its norm it may get re-labelled. so a lot of times a genre starts as someone reworking a track to create a new sound. and then producers will hop on and create originals to have that sound. so a lot of drumstep tracks may have been drumstep even before it was classified as drumstep.

dubstep itself was born from garage/ 2-step dj's wanting to create something more dnb sounding.

or like with moombahton, dave nada was slowing down dutch house for a bit, playing around with a sound that eventualy got labelled on the night he slowed down the track moombah.

and the synical hipsters will even say, once a sound has been genrified it is already on its way to death!

Fuck I think I remember this, was it in the gong? Was one of the last gigs I went to in the gong before moving, at the old grand possibly... Either way, was pretty dope
