I love how people criticise a genre without any background info.

Trancestep is simply the bastard child of neurofunk with epic trance. It's not related to Atmospheric Drum'n'Bass or Liquid Funk, both being melodic genres in their own right, so the name "melodic drum'n'bass" is not only inaccurate but also confusing.

Paul B is by far my favourite trancestep producer, although he's never really abandoned neurofunk. Ill.skillz is also an interesting name to look for. Although Concord Dawn is not a trancestep act, check them out: they often draw some influences from trance in general, and their music is energetic as hell.

NO.

What John B does is fucking grotesque.

(His look is also grotesque, but we're talking about music here.)

IMO it's more confusing calling it TRANCEstep than "melodic drum'n'bass". I hate drum'n'bass and think it's still much more drum'n'bass than trance.

I was chuckling about that, but I figured if I made a post someone would point out Violet Vision - Cellophane (Sub6 & Domestic Remix) or something of the sort - so I didn't want to go there

Ridiculous nonetheless!

Why the hell do we have to keep inventing more and more sub genres?

I'm quite content to group it as Drum & Bass and say it's more melodic than usual.

Well I guess you could argue it's like asking for melodic house when you actually want trance.

They are not the same.

If you guys wanna stress about a genre then fuck off, I wanted sets and tracks, not a bitch session.
