What about 120bpm????
Then it would be breakbeat surely?
I understand what you're saying but the reason we dont use reggae basslines and house beats anymore is because dnb evolves so quickly. Surely that's one of the reasons why it's such an exciting form of music?
Maybe we're all just in a huge regression back to Acid House and Hardcore Techno???
Lord have mercy...NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!
Peace.

Who said D&B had to be 170bpm??? What about 120bpm????
Thats another thing that pisses me off about the current scene. D&B
was here since 1989, when Acid House started to use breakbeats and reggae /
funk basslines. Yet everyone still thinks that D&B is this really specific
musical style from 1996 to today. This is stifling production because people are
working in this very specific style, rather than exploring all there is of D&B.
DJ's are guilty of pigeon holing themselves in this really specific type of
style in their sets as well.
In the Ardkore D&B era, people would produce tracks with house beats,
reggae beats, and all kinds of different musical elements. The Hardstep style
introduced a new type of beat, the Tech beat. Unfortunately, for the past 8
years, this specific Hardstep style has been dominant to the point where it is
rare to even see a breakbeat or a reggae / funk bassline in the music
anymore...
This is all really sad, because to eleminate those elements from the
music, would be to eliminate what made D&B different from Acid House and
Hardcore Techno. Maybe we're all just in a huge regression back to Acid House and
Hardcore Techno???
