[edit]

Should it be mentioned, that 2-step tracks frequenctly introduced 909 open hi-hat as over 909-made rhythms, so over those ones made without 909; the same thing with so-called "House Organ" bass? -- 86.57.205.93 (talk) 16:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

note to anonymous editor 86.57.xxx.xxx and editor Yaneleksklus

[edit]

please, stop. you are misunderstanding wiki rules. this is not about having LOTS of references. it's about having GOOD references, ones that pass WP:RS. please read WP:RS, and also WP:V and WP:N. i don't want to sound like i am personally attacking you, but the article was better before you started editing it. your references are bad and your english is imperfect. you are not helping the article. if you don't understand some phrases in the links above, ask me and i will explain them. --Kaini (talk) 22:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the fact that the references section is now at least twice the length of the article only serves to illustrate my point. --Kaini (talk) 01:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MOVE

[edit]

AT 23:11 14 OCTOBER 2-STEP ARTICLE WILL BE MOVED TO "TWO-STEP GARAGE" NAME AS IT'S THE MOST COMMON NAME FOR THE GENRE. -- Yaneleksklus (talk) 00:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

wow, some discourse. actually you raise an interesting point despite the caps. some alcoholics resort to a twelve-step program, but there's a breakdance move called the 6-step. i think all that can be said for sure is that 2step is not consistent with WP:MOS --Kaini (talk) 00:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most articles, including the majority of those referenced here, refer to it as "2-step". I'd suggest keeping it as "2-step" would be consistent with having the most common name. - filelakeshoe 01:38, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
the most common name? it's the same but "2-step" is the most popular way of writing... 119,000 results for "2-step" vs 11,900 results for "two-step" so the current title should be kept --True Steppa (talk) 05:12, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway that isn't really the point. The point is you won't discuss your edits on many electronic articles, changes that you're making mostly against the consensus of the regular maintainers of the articles in question. No-one owns an article, but you will have to discuss your edits or people will keep reverting them. It's called forming a consensus. And the other point is you're blocked, and not meant to be editing at all until that expires. --Kaini (talk) 17:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
your refs is mostly not consistent with WP:RS, WP:V and WP:N. you must read rules before warring --True Steppa (talk) 18:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
yanelek, i've started attempting to integrate the material you have added to the article which passes WP:RS to the old version of the article. the wire magazine passes WP:RS very well. some dj ive never heard of ranting blog-style does not. i hope that when you come back you can see that people appreciate you want to improve the article. just talk about it here first before making huge changes, PLEASE. --Kaini (talk) 23:44, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
and i'm happy with that, for now at least. the history section has the potential to be great. --Kaini (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article rewrite

[edit]

Article is rewrited without discussion. Some important citations are deleted. -- I.0.27456.t.2 (talk) 01:31, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First of all: infobox.

As even current article version suggests, deleted version of infobox far better suits the article:

2-step garage
Stylistic originsSwing - Soul - Funk - Cont. R&B - NJ sound - Speed garage - Drum and bass
Cultural originsLate 1990s, London, UK
Typical instrumentsSequencer - Turntables - Samplers - Keyboards - Drum machines - PC
Derivative formsDark 2-step
Breakbeat garage

Popularity is noticed; with swing, soul, funk, nj sound ("us garage") and speed garage (the mention from adult hardcore that 2-step drum pattern is reverted speed garage pattern) are mentioned. Breakbeat garage is noticed as derivative genre. --I.0.27456.t.2 (talk) 01:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second: drum pattern scheme. It only illustrates cut 4-to-4 scheme of two-step in comparison to house. So it needs to be returned -- I.0.27456.t.2 (talk) 01:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Third: there is no source for the name of genre, it can't be said that "2-step" came from it's drum pattern.

Fourth: 4x4 garage is not a genre. Speed garage is a genre.

Fifth: This: "Instrumentation usually includes keyboards, synthesizers, and drum machines. There are occasional additions, such as guitar, piano and horns. The primarily synth-based basslines used in 2-step are similar to those in the style's progenitors such as UK garage and before that, drum and bass and jungle," needs exact cite.

Sixth: "Vocals in 2-step garage are usually female," doubtful, probably original research. -- I.0.27456.t.2 (talk) 01:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


oh, so now you want to discuss changes? interesting.
look, besides anything else - and some of this is complete WP:OR and WP:POV - i am a fan of this music. Craig David, and to an extent so solid crew, that's pop influenced by 2-step. secondly whilst swing, soul, and funk might deserve mention in the article, they are not direct influences on this music - they influenced the music that in turn influenced 2-step - and so they do not belong in the infobox. as for NY garage, that developed completely separately. the term garage means a very different thing in the US than it does in the UK, even though they are influenced by the same thing. anyway your source for all that, is a blog-style rant by a DJ who fails WP:N, called 'an alternative (different or WP:FRINGE) history of garage', which fails WP:RS. when your ban expires you're welcome to work that in somewhere, but please read the policy. so i'm sorry - i've tried my absolute best to incorporate your additions into the article, and i find it funny you're trying to collab NOW, but stuff that doesn't meet wiki standards as a source has to go, because it's introducing big time POV issues into the article. as for the material you cast doubt on, i'm gonna tag it now, and add refs over the weekend. --Kaini (talk) 01:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
btw, i might agree with your point #4. --Kaini (talk) 01:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
okay, added tags where needed yanek. i hold the fact that 2-step basslines to be influenced by DnB/UK Garage/jungle to be self-evident. 2-step wouldn't exist without these genres, and all elements of the music are influenced by them. this is backed up in the wire article anyway. and regarding vocals, well they are similar to house and r'n'b per your cite. check those articles for lots of evidence that they're usually female, probably to the degree that MCs are usually male.
please don't edit the article while blocked. i know you want to make articles better, and you'll get into trouble. --Kaini (talk) 01:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

do we really need this? actually we can speak about R&B/pop influenced by 2-step, yet 2-step isn't R&B subgenre. --True Steppa (talk) 03:37, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

audio samples

[edit]

okay, i think we need one more audio sample for the top of the page, centre stage, demonstrating the most typical, most encapsulating sound of a 2-step rhythm there is. suggestions? --Kaini (talk) 22:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hardcore Continuum

[edit]

"UK hardcore continuum" – a phrase coined by Goodman to sum up the constant evolution in the hardcore/jungle/garage sound

This is untrue. Steve Goodman helped popularise it in his Hyperdub blog but it was Simon Reynolds in his Wire column that came up with the term (link). Also fwd is better known for being the originator of dubstep rather than 2-step (see, e.g. blackdown's blog from 2008 on it at link) but that one is more quibbling.
