Darkstep

Darkstep is a subgenre of drum and bass music that emphasizes dark, heavy basslines and fast, complex breakbeats. It often incorporates elements of neurofunk and techstep, revealing an aggressive, brooding atmosphere that is characteristic of its sound. The aesthetics of darkstep draw on dystopian and sci-fi themes, featuring dissonant synths, atmospheric pads, and distorted samples, woven together to create a sense of foreboding and intensity. The percussion in darkstep tracks tends to be particularly sharp and snappy, with rapid snare rolls and high-tempo kicks designed to drive the relentless energy forward. Artists like Black Sun Empire and Neonlight are renowned for their mastery of the genre, producing tracks that push the boundaries of darkstep with innovative sound design and intricate rhythms that captivate the darker side of the drum and bass spectrum.
