Techstep
Techstep is a subform of the drum and bass music style . It is shaped by “technoid”, abstract and often “crazy” sounds. The sound is dark and strongly influenced by industrial and techno . The samples used are usually intensively processed with effects and are often heavily distorted.
Nico's productions on No U Turn Records are groundbreaking for this style .
