Various Artists - This Is Beardstep

Missed out on the DSC comp?

Have a go at making some BEARDSTEP!

What is Beardstep?

This is YOUR chance to define the sound!

Beardstep is...

Beardstep is tight, yet prickly.

Beardstep understands the past, but looks towards the future.

Beardstep is analogue and hardware, and digital, and software.

Beardstep is trimmed and carefully sculpted, yet with moments of wild frizziness.

Beardstep is the sound of now.

Same deal as the DSC comp - Send me your beardstep mp3s and I will collate them and run them past a panel of funky judges, etc, etc.

lol fucking awesome

haha wicked.

Want to be a judge, Fred? You can tell me which ones are retitled DSC rejects.

EDIT: also, your impeccable taste, etc.

lol

well fucking give a theme or let's talk about what we think beard step is.

We are going to define Beardstep.

horrible thing happened to me just now. i just jammed for ten minutes on my rm1x and came out with some wicked analoggins type material that i was so proud of while i thought it was recording but it turned out i guess the minidisc was plugged into the headphone port rather than the mic...Fuck!

oh well. goes to show that i can pull shit off and i guess i should do stuff more than i really do

Beardstep is how you were feeling just before you noticed that the minidisc was plugged into the headphone jack.

aight

Intriguing. Is there a deadline for submissions?

Sure, let's go for Sunday the 23rd of September.

Looking for club friendly, tight tracks, themed round beards, fashion, 21st century bachelor living and general all round suaveness.

might have a go at this

the beginning part of Bonneville Occident is beardstep.

is this Beardstep ?

I'm pretty sure that Bzode qualify as beardstep. Or at least a beardstep crossover act.

Victoreye Sequence - Shiny electro 5/4 Beardstep

Poker Beats - Purist Digital Jumpstep Dub Beardstep

Stum Bling Step - Wobble-pop Bellcore Beardstep

Sledgy - Reverse cymbal squarepusher baiting Beardstep

Understand that shit.

PS guy in the middle's last name is "beard", I think.

Can I submit the default loop on Rebirth looped for 5 minutes with myself occasionally shouting facial-hair-related words over the top?

According to that, you have made 5 seconds of beardstep. I'll want at least another 45 before I consider it for my comp.

i like this idea - i might make some beardstep tonight!

Whats the submission deadline?

Beardstep is warm and fuzzy and either curly or straight. Warm chill or warm glitchy stuff. That's my idea of beardstep.

Evidence that my beard is better than yours:
