> Halftime D&B Isn't that Drumstep? If not, I'd love some examples because that sounds very much up my alley. > Why does Pendulum (a band) get a node on here? There is no such genre as Pendulum. The guide actually explains that if you click on the dot: "Pendulum is not the name of this genre. It's technically called Nu Jumpup or Nu Skool Jumpup but I call it Pendulum because Pendulum is more than just an artist or a genre. It is an event. It is one of those events that is so monumental that when people talk about history, they unconsciously draw a line between stuff that happened before the event and stuff that happened after (ie: "we are living in a post X world", where X is something earth-shattering like the atomic bomb or 9/11). We are witness to one of these life-changing events in Drum n Bass. Welcome to the Pendulum Age."

No half time is stuff like this but its probably better to call it all drum and bass: https://soundcloud.com/noise-london/pessimist-livenoise-test-uvb-76-music-pt1-150618-bristol-pt2-in-3-weeks-the-island?si=cba0deb41b96458f8d01221d872c6022&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing https://soundcloud.com/noise-london/pessimist-livenoise-test...

In my experience drumstep tends to just be a cross between dubstep and DnB, whereas half-time is usually just DnB but at half the tempo. Some of it almost could be considered hip hop instrumentals but with the sound design of DnB. The two groups in that scene that come to mind are Ivy Lab and SHADES, though lots of DnB and IDM artists have half-time tracks (voljum, Noisia, Chee, Kursa, Seppa, and so on).

  This is how I see it too - drumstep was basically dub/brostep sped up to d&b tempo, and with a few d&b stylings, whereas halftime is really doing d&b at half-time, often falling into dancehall and hiphop rhythms. They end up having some things in common, but coming at it from different angles. I'm a big fan of a lot of stuff from Fixate, Fracture, Dr. Jeep, Ivy Lab, dBridge, Dub Phizix. None of these artists are exclusively in the genre, but they all have some great examples of this kind of music.

Shades and Ivy Lab, plus anything on 1985 Records that clocks in at 85 bpm.
