A subreddit dedicated to halftime drum & bass. Be it neuro, chill, wonky, future, funky, whatever! If it's ~80-90 BPM you've come to the right place.

This a place to discuss, appreciate, promote, and share halftime drum & bass (aka Future Beats or Halfstep).

Halftime drum & bass is a style of drum & bass that uses a meter or tempo that is twice as slow. The simplest halftime beat is essentially one bar of a drum & bass breakbeat spread over two bars. Fullspeed drum & bass ranges anywhere from 160-180 BPM, this means halftime is around 80-90 BPM.

This difference in meter gives halftime a laidback or heavy feel, similar to dubstep (which is centered around a 70 BPM halftime beat).

80-90 BPM is also a range that includes much hip hop. Therefore, many songs draw inspiration from both drum & bass and hip hop influences. Such songs are sometimes referred to as Future Beats. For example artists Alix Perez or Ivy Lab are heavily influenced by hip hop while artists like Rawtekk or Vorso draw more from neurofunk.

Some notable artists:

Ivy Lab

Alix Perez

Noisia

Shield

Ordure

Steelan

Annix (Decimal Bass + Konichi)

Monty

It Hz (Chee + Jon Casey)

Vorso

Eyeseeu

Posij

Culprate

Rawtekk

[Drum and Bass] Everie - Don't Know How (Enkalinan Remix)

Sitting at around 800 plays with a few likes and reposts. It blows my mind that anyone would like the silly little sounds I make, sitting at my computer. Good luck to all of you on your musical journey.
