Techstep is a dark, stripped‑down branch of drum and bass that emerged in the UK during the mid‑to‑late 1990s. It favors rigid, two‑step drum patterns, stark sci‑fi atmospheres, and heavily processed "Reese"-style basslines over the funkier break-chopping of earlier jungle. The aesthetic is cold, mechanical, and dystopian: metallic snares, tightly quantized rhythms, and industrial textures combine with minor, dissonant stabs and eerie pads. Typical tempos sit around 170–175 BPM, with emphasis on sub‑bass weight, tension, and precision rather than melodic complexity.
