Jazzstep

Tracks such as "Stoned Love" and Die's "Reincarnations" effect a nearly perfect synthesis of Alex Reece/Wax Doctor-esque jazzstep and the rumbling hardstep styles exemplified by outfits like DJ Recordings and Renegade Hardware.

Despite having played a big role in the gentrification process with his crusade for 'jazzstep', Fabio railed against the reduction of drum and bass to mere 'wallpaper fodder' by its use in TV links and commercials.

I was around 19 when I heard about more VST instruments like Massive and FM8, and the first track I actually made after the punk rock phase was this jazzstep jungle song - a liquid funk piece that was so badly done; the drums were just a loop I found online and so on.

In wistful instrumental stretches the song slides into an extended keyboard solo of unexpected (even for Womack & Womack) minimalism and economy, a slow jazzstep in zero gravity.

Jazzstep plays in the background, a five-year-old classic, 'Gyrating to the Rhythm' by Two Evil Uncles.
