Lot’s of people have asked me : what is darkstep about ?
I think in fact it’s a pretty good question because most of the people don’t go to club for this kind of fast, dark and noisy music. but darkstep is different… a lot. And with more and more people liking it it could be a good reason to answer this question.
Every people have his/her own personnal reason to love or hate darkstep but i think we share something. So i will try to show you why i love darkstep. Darkstep is not only about having fun at parties even if it’s so much important for a dance music. It also have some deep meanings
A first way to understand this is to discuss with people at darkstep rave and see that they’re the true hardcore scene of dance music. they know artists, they are deeply connected to the music they love. They ‘re not only there for the chicks and pills (even if it’s important also). They know the music and want to dance like maniacs.
So what is darkstep about ?
Darkstep is dark music for dark people.
It’s the sound of a dying world. It’s the fast and schyzophrenic music of a world that have gone mad.
It’s the sound of interconnected people that don’t lead to comunication but to only noise. It’s the music of technological nightmare when science don’t lead to freedom but to corporate and governemental control.
It’s the sound of urban decay through drugs and poverty.
But darkstep is not an nihilistic hopeless music like noise music can be, in fact it’s the opposite. Darkstep turns this experience of dying world into a fun experience. it turns alienation into a something not far from sexual pleasure. The world is going mad let’s have a party. We don’t agree with this world, we just want to party. In this darkstep is higly subversive because trying to escape this mad world is the first step to understand it’s a dead world and that we could change it. This nightmare could be turn into something else
Darkstep is dark music for dark people.
KEEP IT DARK !!
