mugwump Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I've been feelin' the funky break thing lately. (like adam freeland and John I know it's a departure from straight up D&BBut I do Think they are related.There are some amazing break beats that blend in and out of Techy house that just drive me iiinsane!Even though Brits claim D&B died a few years ago I still feel like it's got potential to evolve musicaly. mixing Breaks with Trance or house i think holds great potential (Listen to Hybrid's new Cd or BT)I don't get Two step though...? Can someone clarify for me the difference between TWO STEP and Garage?Last time I heard "two step" was a country dance. (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonyd Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 technically speakingTwo step garage is most closely related to speed garage and both are close cousins to jungle.They both play at the speed of upbeat house music, but each borrows different elements from jungle.Speed garage takes a house beat and lays the syncopated snares from jungle over it, making sound slightly like a breakbeat, but it's strictly a 4/4 house beat.Two Step garage take the two step jungle beat and slows it down then lays the snares from your standard 4/4 house rythm over top. It also borrows some elements from oldskool hardcore and happy hardcore by taking old 80's tracks and simply remaking them into a two step track.that's the technical take anyway.

spoonyd Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 it's downstairs (the upstairs is a serious fag romp), the sound is penetrating (they really push that little system), the music is great - mostly 2 step with some other sounds thrown in for good measure. The crowd is NY clubbing elite.All in all good clean fun for a sunday evening (I think it only goes till 1 or so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launch Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I lived in Florida for two years, and thats all they spin, breaks. I didnt realize so many people listened to them up here, and why arent there any well known djs??? Breaks are the shit, I wish they would get more recognition. And icey is good, but Ive seen that old man way too many times. His shit gets boring after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
