Toystep

Toystep is typically 120 - 140 bpm and consist of low resolution synths and basses to produce a cliche computer game sound. Some artist have also been know to experiment with children's toy instruments as a way of emphasizing the toy element of the genre..

Generally became popular in the early 2000's,the music contains low bit sounds and upbeat rhythyms. Partyshank became very dominant in around 2003.But producers such as Illegal Music and Toys with Knives have restore the genre making it more popular to different audiences.

Since the early days of acid house/rave in the late 80's, dance music has transported itself into thousands of sub genres. Now i can tolerate dub step and retro toy town references, but TOYSTEP? I draw the line there, im sorry.

An underground culture which has taken influence from 20/1st century computer games.Toystep fashion and culture takes large influence from this era.
