Hope y'all enjoy o7. Next part with probably either cover Atmo Jungle & Atmo DnB, or Jungle Tekno & Happy Hardcore. For some notes & trivia: - Some of the stuff in the Techstep section may be a bit more on the side of Jungle, namely "LSD User" by SR & Jem One. I still decided to include them since Techstep did sorta bridge the gap between Jungle and DnB, and the vibe was more in line with that dystopian sci-fi sound that Techstep is known for. - The breakbeat from "Sniper" by DJ Trace & Pete Parsons is sometimes referred to as the "Tramen" Break, i.e. the DJ Trace Amen. That name is somewhat misleading though, as while the break was first featured in Sniper afaik, it was actually created by Dom & Roland. It's also a mashup of 3 different breaks, an Amen from an old Breakbeat Hardcore record, the Samurai/Tighten Up break, and a break used in an Alex Reece track from 1995 iirc. - Speaking of Sniper, Pete Parsons is the real name of Voyager, an artist probably best known for his Atmospheric DnB tracks from the late 90s. DJ Trace also produced a fair amount of Atmo DnB during the same era, and has recently been putting out more Atmo DnB in a duo with Kid Drama under the name "Nine Windows." - Dom & Roland is a single person. The "Roland" in question is Dom's S760 sampler, which is made by the Roland Corporation. - "Messiah" is one of the most iconic Neurofunk tracks of all time, but it also came with a rather troubled story behind it's release that according to a comment I saw on DogsonAcid, resulted from both Renegade Hardware and Bad Company UK wanting to be the ones to release the track. - Bad Company UK initially went by just "Bad Company," but had to add the UK part to the end of their name after the rock band Bad Company got mad at them for stealing their name. - Spor is the Drum & Bass alias of Johnathan Gooch, who is also well known for his other alias "Feed Me." - I first listened to "Kinetic" by Billain less than 30 minutes before I started recording the final mix for the Neurofunk section lol. The difference in price for Billain's "Different Eyes EP" between Bandcamp in iTunes was also wild. It was like $20 on Bandcamp, but only like $4 on iTunes.
@@JeanLaque Yeah I was talking about Trace lol, but Voyager's actually also put out a few releases in the last few years. You should check out the "Voyager" EP he put out through Tempo Records from 2021.
I really like how you put in a couple of albums to check out at the beginning of the video. That was a smart improvement of the format, and I hope you keep doing it for every other new video as well. An issue I have with such niche collection of genres is that I don't really know where to research them more, so having something else to listen to really helps yk?
Tbf, there really weren’t any albums I could’ve recommended with the previous video, at least in terms of something dedicated mostly/entirely to a single sub-genre. Basically all of early 90s Hardcore & Jungle was released as singles or EPs, along with a handful of compilation albums that almost always contained a mix of styles. Seems like it wasn’t until the later half of the 90s when these artists actually started putting out full on albums.
Savage mix. I love all styles of DnB but techstep is definitely my favourite genre. Been first mix I played on my new speakers so my neighbour will be able to tell the difference in styles as well now.
I came back to jam to your Beginner's Guide from last year and saw your pinned comment on doing these. Your channel is straight up a goldmine of stuff! Thank you for uploading what you have!
It's kinda hard to describe in words, but "stepper" drums have more/most of the emphasis on the kick & snare, while "roller" drums have more percussion fills that give them a feeling of forward momentum. You should check out Stranjah's video on DnB drum patterns, since he breaks things down a lot better (though not necessarily in the exactly same way I have).

Can someone explain the meaning of "roller" and "stepper" for the neurofunk drums please?
