clownstep
clownstep is the negative but amusing name given to the jump-up genre of drum and b-ss. use of the word when describing a track would indicate that it contains warbly b-sslines and outrageous swingbeats. clownstep tracks usually song alot like the music you would here at a circus or after a few hours of giving you 3 year old nephew his first my tomy music sequencer.
the word originates from the mainly drum and b-ss music forum, dogsonacid.com, when dylan who is a figure head in the music scene did a thread claiming when he heard certain jump-up tracks, the crowd would remind him of clowns dancing in time to the swingbeats.
clownstep has been such a phenomenon that it has seen recognition the world over, including having an entry in wikipedia.org. producers such as noisia, evol intent, technical itch, teebee, photek and many many more produce clownstep and there seems to be more and more up and coming wobbly producers making a name on the scene fairly frequently.
raver 1: did you hear that warbly b-ssline in that new noisia track?!
raver 2: yea man, that was some proper clownstep, i cant wait for their set to be over so we can listen to nightwalker, now that is proper music!
a sub genre of drum and b-ss, charecterised by big “wobbly” b-sslines with a simple structure, usually consisting of a 3 note progression. the swing beat is used excessively in this simplistic form of dnb. these travesties of electronic music are popular with pill munching plebs who delight in nothing better than flailing their arms about and jumping up and down like a muppet plugged into the mains socket. this phenomena seems to generate a lot of money for the producers of such a formulaic style due to the “common raver” being the lowest common denominator the dj has to cater for.
see: dillinja, post 2000. and twisted individual.
a derogatory term used to refer to drum and b-ss, in the jump-up genre, that has an extremely simple b-ssline, and a swingbeat that sounds similar to a typical circus march.
noisia, tech itch, evol intent and photek are not clownstep. they are actually the ant-thesis of clownstep.
the best example of clownstep would be shimon and andy c’s body rock. or dillinja’s twist em out.
a fresh genre of drum’n’b-ss with a simple but catchy beat and with a deep repet-tive but amazing b-ssline. artists include: dirty harry, taxman, dj evol, dj hazard, g dub
