Brostep?


What the HELL is Brostep?

After hearing the name, most people assume it’s a joke - however these same people can then be found on Rusko’s or Datsik’s dance floor going absolutely nuts.

Consider the Wikipedia article:

Brostep (also called ‘mid-range cack’ or bruvstep in the UK) evolved out of dubstep to become what many see as a separate subgenre of music, although it is still largely categorized as dubstep by event promoters, fans and most of the artists themselves. Brostep is characterized by the preference of mid-range frequencies over those of the low end, a massive amount of wobble, an aggressive ‘feel’ to the music and an impatient, almost frantic style of delivery. More drum and bass-influenced than dub-influenced (as is the case with dubstep), brostep is tinged with scrapes of heavy metal and has a jumpier, ravey vibe with very little sub-bass weight.

Some people argue that some brostep artists (although no one is claiming the brostep label) are: Rusko, Caspa, Coki, Reso, Trillbass, Datsik, Excision, and Borgore. And people are loving their work.

Long time lovers of Dubstep are hating the direction the genre is moving. I say let 'em hate. The only reason the genre has gained so much attention in the last year all over the world is because of these acts.

Here's what Rusko has to say on the matter


Rusko's music has become more melodic as result, and people are missing the music that got them into the genre in the first place.

It's what got me into it. Let us know what you think.

Caspa & Rusko- Mr. Chips


Thanks to DubstepMassive for the write-up

Caspa is not brostep. He is the OG of dubstep.
