INTechstep emerged in the late ’90s as jungle shed its reggae roots and embraced something colder, harder, and more clinical.
This was the sound of steel: distorted Reese basslines, surgical break edits, dystopian atmospheres.
It was less about vibes, more about tension—darkness engineered for the dancefloor.
Pioneers like Ed Rush & Optical, Dom & Roland, Fierce, and DJ Trace helped shape the genre’s DNA. The influence of this era still echoes through drum and bass today.
Massive thanks to DJ Trace/ @dsci4 for allowing us to use his legendary tune Sonar in this reel. Your work helped define an era—we're grateful!
