🎙 Explore the evolution of HARDSTEP - TECHSTEP, starting from 1995. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:

✨ **Origins**: By the mid nineties, Rave (in the UK) was completely dead. A new subculture had learned from its mistakes. No more huge pop-up parties, but a pirate radio network broadcasting revolting Drum ‘n’ Bass instead. This hardcore Drum ‘n’ Bass (Hardstep) was simple, purist music but with a very heavy subbassline, fast, 2-step drum patterns, and lots of influences from and references to Rap, Ragga, and Dub. It had more or less the same mentality as Conscious Rap: an underground army with back to the roots (black culture) music. Hardstep’s history however, was rather small and shortlived. It had speed and percussion, but lacked melody and atmosphere.
🎵 **Highlights**: Around 1996-’97, Hardstep gets pushed aside by the successor of Darkcore: Techstep. This technical Drum ‘n’ Bass, influenced by Brutal and Industrial Techno barely had anything in common with the funky, sophisticated Detroit sound. Filled with heavily manipulated reese-basslines and so called “butcher beats”, this should’ve been called Industrial Drum ‘n’ Bass: loud, uncompromising, grotesque, nihilistic factory noise. Techstep almost immediately saw the potential of heavy D’n’B thanks to Hardstep, and took it up another notch. Full of sound effect experimentation, it was an antimusical sadomasochistic soundtrack, just like early Industrial but painted for a gritty post-Rave selfish world, instead of a conceptual movement.
📖 **Evolution**: Though Techstep is stylistically more linked to its predecessor Darkcore and its successor Darkstep, its joining with Hardstep illustrates D’n’B’s rapid transformation in the mid nineties and what that expresses: a requiem for a lost Rave dream, ruptured into an aural nightmare, like Heavy Metal after the flower power age. The rise in popularity of militant, underground Drum’n’Bass coincided with (and became propelled by) the Criminal Justice Act of 1994 in the UK, which prohibited parties with “repetitive beats” (which Drum ‘n’ Bass did not have).
