Techno-DNB is a strongly Techno influenced subgenre of Drum & Bass that has emerged in the mid 2000s.
Contents |
[edit] Style
It is characterized by deliberately crossing borders between Techno and Drum and Bass, using influences from all styles of techno and sometimes trance and house.
[edit] History
The subgenre was pioneered by a very few influential signature tracks in the early 2000s that would file under the contemporary definition of Techstep in 2008, like "Vessel" by Universal Project or "Vandalism" by Fission. The first producers who fully concentrated on Techstep were Kemal & Rob Data (a more stripped down experimental sound that had influences from Detroit Techno and the use of Techno production tools), Vector Burn & Pyro.
On the other hand, from the late 1990s on, a growing number of artists (Cause 4 Concern, Stakka & Skynet, Konflict and even more Kemal with his solo productions), Stratus, Gridlok, Rascal & Klone, Jarman aka Raiden, Bulletproof, also Bad Company (notably their "Digital Nation" LP), Black Sun Empire, STA, Paul B, SKC, Chris.SU, Dom & Roland, and others) produced and released many tracks in the then unclear, non-defined sub-generic field between Neurofunk and Techstep.
