New Genre!?

New Genre!?

thats The Chemical Brothers-Keep My Composure. it grids at 100bpm. wtf is this? is it a new genre?
if anyone knows of any more bass heavy dance music in this style please let me know cos its the shit and i want more. the chembros have a few other 100bpm songs but they all have that typical big-beat beat, im really lovin that new dubsteppish drone, its PHAT! :smiley:
the only other music ive found that i can mix this with at the mo is Minuit, like this

http://www.myspace.com/minuittheband
the net at work wont let me access their music so i dont know what songs are up there, possibly new shit that i dont know, but they rock, the singer chick is gorgeous and she has a crazy voice due to some car crash and having to relearn how to talk

anyway enough ranting… enlighten me!!

Sounds like bigbeat/trip-hop to me.

im tempted to agree with you there, but its just so damn fresh! its completely different to anythin ive ever heard from the chembros, i spose one could argue that it fits some of the codes/conventions of bigbeat but its pushing the boundaries pretty hard compared to bigbeats history-which i have a rather limited knowledge of (Chembros,Prodigy,Fat Boy Slim is all i know)

seriously 100bpm? wtf? how does one mix this :eek:

Big beats ‘n’ bleeps to me. :slight_smile:

certainly so, guess its just big beat unless anyones got any other ideas

I haven’t checked out any of the chemical brothers stuff since dig your own hole when I was a wee lad … I hope this is a sign of more to come I thought they went completely soft :smiley:

Track names ??

Also if you notice , the MC mentions “spankrock and chemical brothers” … check out the song “back yard betty” by spankrock if you haven’t already :smiley:

hey! chemical brothers are the shit! i loved the “we are the night” album although it took some time to really understand what they were doin there, i found it a bit rough to begin with. but its the shit. namely the lyrics of battle scars, a truer metaphor for life ive never read

I never said they went soft , I just said I “thought” they went soft … after dig your own hole 10+ years ago I didn’t really follow them much at all but the couple of bits I did hear led me to believe that they were going in a completely different direction - that was my assumption anyhow , I never really followed up to see if it was completely true or not.

I remember exit planet dust being really sick but I would assume thats mostly because of the dust brothers influence as I didn’t think dig your own hole was quite as good …

PS. thanks for those track names :smiley:

Its got a pretty phat bassline, not really liking those vocals though.

Chem brothers did go kinda soft for surrender, but they brought it back big time with Push The Button. I mean galvanize, believe, the boxer… all pretty heavy beats!

Love the chem bros, haven’t heard of this track in particular (and cant listen while at work :stuck_out_tongue:) but I will definitely check it out at home! It is strange that it’s such a low bpm but that doesn’t really surprise me, they like to mix it up.

the reason i was hoping this was a genre was because i want more. has anyone got any other suggestions? sorry i cant give you track names metaverse cos i dont have net at home… im at work so i dont have access to my moosik

Umm I would love to listen and see if I have anything similar but im at work :<

I’ll give it a listen during lunch break (~1.5hrs)

meat beat manifesto?

Just listened, only on crappy speakers. Damn there is some fresh synth in there! Love that wobbling bass line!
