Psystep is a hybrid subgenre between Dubstep and Psytrance.
Characteristics[]
The genre combines the deep bass and syncopated, half-time drum rhythms of Dubstep, with the sonic textures, hypnotic patterns, psychedelic themes and the bassy high-tempo riffs of Psytrance.
Other topics[]
Psystep, if you think of the pure hybridization between Dubstep and Psytrance, is rather a rare genre. To find music in this genre, you'd have to look to psytrance and/or dubstep artists.
Seven Lions, a Dubstep and Psytrance DJ, has made music in this genre: he remixed Excision's "The Paradox", setting psytrance as the dominant genre, while combining it with Dubstep towards the middle of the music.
Another Dubstep DJ, ROY KNOX, has mixed Dubstep with Psytrance in two tracks: Ghosts in the Shadow (in collaboration with Derpcat) and About U.
