Hardstep
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hardstep (not to be confused with Hard DnB) is a subgenre of darkcore which emerged in 1994. It is characterised by a gritty production style, that has an inner-city feel to it. The breaks are less cut-up sounding than oldschool jungle, and harder, hence the name hardstep. Techstep is hardstep's most popular subgenre.
The genre found favour with junglists, despite being overtaken in popularity by techstep, the fans of the style still remain. One characteristic is an accentuated, yet sparse percussive beat. [1] Artists include DJ Hype and DJ Zinc.[2]
