I Don’t Understand Folkstep

Thursday, December 1
12am

And I don’t think you do either. Which is why it’s fun.

Look, I shouldn’t have to re-hash that Folkstep is what you get when you combine ethnic musical traditions with electronic, wobbly, bass-heavy dubstep. But it is. If that sounds good to you, it sounded better to me. So I searched on Soundcloud through 28 pages of results for ‘folkstep’ to find some that was, you know, good. We featured it in the first part of our show today. That part proved to be, by far, the most popular portion. Ahem. Hey… give the people what they want: a mixtape!

You can listen to most tracks individually or just download the whole thing. Yes!
