Knife Party – ‘Bonfire’

It’s a quintessential brostep track that slowly cranks up the tension before exploding all at once with an intense drop you just can’t resist.

Created by Knife Party—also known as members of the drum and bass band Pendulum—this piece is nothing short of spectacular, with razor-sharp, spark-like synths entwined with earth-rumbling sub-bass.

Released in 2012, it drew major attention for being featured in the globally popular TV drama Breaking Bad.

Despite its aggressive sound, there’s a catchy melodic streak shining through, making it a perfect entry point for anyone new to brostep.

If you want to fire up your adrenaline and lift your mood, this high-energy banger is guaranteed to get you pumped.

She’s Lady Saw, you could call her the queenpin of the dancehall.

With her powerful deejay style and hardcore lyrics, she’s a female deejay who enjoys overwhelming popularity among women.

Lyrics and performances that turn femininity into a weapon are likely the secret to her appeal.

Mad Cobra – Flex

Mad Cobra is a reggae musician from Kingston.

He’s a singjay, but before he ever stepped into the studio, he apparently had his own sound system set up.

That’s a fairly uncommon background in Japan’s reggae scene, isn’t it? One of his hit songs, Flex, was released in 1992, and it captures a vibe that evokes the good old ’80s dancehall.

Definitely give it a listen.
