uh, 140 vs. 174?
Oh alright...

Geez, talkin about anal retentive.. That's virtually half?

And it's 140.55bpm depending on in situ humidity
yeah, and dnb is 187.92 because everyone smashes it at +8.

(also, it's 80.46%.)

errrrr ... funky is in no way a subgenre of dubstep. it's soca house with grime influences.
^^innit, repackaged garage for the people who wernt around ten years ago when garage was big

3rd on that!! Really reminds me of alot of the old U.S garage from the 90s. Wouldn't be suprised to see it get as big too...

thread was over here.

seeing as dub is a different category altogether, i'm sure you could see why people wouldn't know about it. people shorten everything.
