Hardstep — The Raw Energy of Drum & Bass

Hardstep is an aggressive, dynamic, and sharp form of drum & bass, combining massive beats, heavy bass, and a dark atmosphere. Emerging in the mid-90s, this subgenre became a powerful alternative to the more danceable jungle, giving drum & bass a metallic, industrial edge.

On the Hardstep page you’ll find a collection of tracks that showcase the full power and rhythm of the genre — from classics to modern sounds.

Genre Characteristics

Hardstep stands out with its key features:

• Sharp, “broken” drum patterns,

• Low-pitched sub-basslines and harsh synths,

• A dark, urban atmosphere,

• Elements borrowed from techno, industrial, and hip-hop beats.

This is not background music — it’s the raw energy of the streets, the underground, and industrial madness.

Who to Listen To?

The genre became a creative field for artists such as:

• Tech Itch

• Dillinja

• Dom & Roland

• Ed Rush & Optical

• Loxy

• Digital & Spirit

These producers set the direction for many styles within heavy DnB.
