Futurestep is a relatively new sub-genre of drum and bass music, combining the synthesized melodic elements of hardstyle with drum and bass rhythms, and a wide variety of samples, particularly from rock, hip hop and reggae. Futurestep is most closely related to fellow sub-genres Jump-Up and Neurofunk, but generally sounds more upbeat and is more likely to use vocals and progressive chord changes. Futurestep was most noted by the release of Pendulum's "Hold Your Colour" and DJ Fresh's "Escape From Planet Monday" album, which have helped the sound become internationally popular.
