Episode 113: Clubstep

I feel that I cannot apologize enough for the name. I was putting together a playlist that alternated between 140 BPM club tunes and oldschool Dubstep jams, and the portmanteau just presented itself to my horrified mind. It was as unavoidable as it was douchey. I tried to think of something else, but it would not be denied. And the combination works better than it has any right to– Clubstep combining neither the cheeseball “club” nor the overblown brostep the name suggests. Less a popped-collar raveup than a head-down groover…
