What is DUMBSTEP?

Posted by Spikrodd - November 13th, 2010


WHAT IS DUMBSTEP?

Dumbstep is a sup-genre of dubstep/filthstep/brostep I created in early 2010 that was originally designed to parodize the calamity and insanity of some filthstep tracks released recently. The idea in it is to press the boundaries of danceable music with odd time signatures, basslines and drum patterns. Sometimes, the danceable aspect is tossed out the window for a more insane, nearly unlistenable music that still keeps a half-step pattern and twisted basslines. Most dumbstep songs have, as the name would imply, dubstep influences with glitchy and industrial touches tossed in the mix for a 'funner feud of sounds'.

tl;dr, this is breakcore for dubsteppers.

WHO'S MAKING DUMBSTEP?

Smith Comma John (AKA Spikrodd) - Founder and main mover of dumbstep. Usually works in 7/4 or 5/4 and in a happier, more moveable style.

Reanu Keeves (AKA SineRider - Purveyor of obnoxious basslines and "this shouldn't work how did he" rhythms in 9/8 and 11/8 and other really silly number combos of the like.

Laqur (AKA Quarl) - The darkest producer of the group thus far. His first song was in 1/8 (we still don't know what that means).
