Complextro - What is it and why it could be the death of Dubstep.

Complextro is defined as a Sub-Genre of Electro House,   It has the same 4/4 beat, it's usually played around the same BPM about 128 - 132.  The term itself was started by Porter Robinson, but producers such as Wolfgang Gartner were producing Complextro tracks way before Porter came around.  Complextro tracks will consist of elements from 3 different genres (Dubstep, Glitch and Electro House).  Complextro is said to be one of the most difficult genres to produce due to the wide range of varying synths that are used.  You will hear the modern elements of Dubstep such as those Modulated bass synths, Modern talking, Saw synths  etc.  as well as very glitchy sounding synths.  While dubstep still has a somewhat large following even though it is very mainstream now, dubstep lacks one thing, Its not very danceable when compared to House music.  So Complextro  takes all those filthy nasty bass synths that you love from dubstep and it adds the 4/4 danceable beat structure found in House music, its truly the best of both worlds.  Some producers that are big in Complextro include DallasK,  James Egbert, Feed Me, Skrillex, Knife Party, Mord Fustang.

    

And heres Mord Fustang, he's still complextro but he's more melodic, not quite as filthy, he uses more "One-up mushrooms" in his tracks.
