97-01 tech, neuro, hardstep

[ill1]

I've been building up my collection of older tech & neuro recently. I've gotten a pretty good bit but want to go a little deeper. Just wondering what are your fav tracks from that era, especially non-anthem type stuff that wouldn't instantly come to mind.

can you define the difference between neuro, tech and hardstep please?

ppl go on bout nuero and i dont have a glue wot it is, can u give n example?

 

[ill1]

to me its all tech but at that time neuro, hardstep, darkstep were all being used as subgenres. Stuff like Teebee, Stakka & Skynet, Konflict, Ram Trilogy, etc.

neuro came out of techstep around 97-98. It is basically techstep with deeper atmo and synths. More emphasis on basslines which are thick and rolling.

Teebee - Human Reptile is one of my fav older neuro tracks.
