I don’t understand Folkstep. I don’t think you do either — which is why it’s awesome!
Allow me to describe Folkstep as what happens when deeply-rooted traditional ethnic music styles get combined with a modern wobbly, bigass-bass dubstep sensibility.. If that sounds good to you, it sounded even better to me! So I combed through 28 pages of Soundcloud search results for ‘folkstep’ to find zebest tunes. We featured it during the first section of a Radio Unpronounceable show. That part proved to be, so I gather, the most popular portion. So give the people what they want… a mixtape!
