Dubstep

Hey, Is anyone starting to find a lot of dubstep becoming quite formulaic. I don't know, I found the percussive rhythms to be a fair bit more diverse when I first got into it in 2005/2006, but now it seems like every trak has a kick drum and a snare in the same place. There's still some killer artists producing some underground experiemental shit, keeping it real. But there seems to be a strong torrent of shit beginning to fill the nights to.. Like pop song remixes, really long breakdowns, snoop dogg rapping on top, and pop singers like Britney spears singing over the top of dubstep formulas. WTF?

I don't think the scene is dead yet, but I can't wait for the next scene whatever it will be, IDM Nuskool breaks for the win. Or that cool breakcore sound with the colourful dub wobble in glitch style. Glitch-hop too :)
 
SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Artist: Phaeleh / Geiom / Vaccine
Title: Lounge / Geiomix / Atrium Phaeleh rmx
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital
Cat #: STNSN003
Release Date: June/July
Distribution: Z-Audio
Mastering@ Finyl Tweek

A. Lounge (Original)
B1. Lounge (Geiomix)
B2. Vaccine - Atrium (Phaeleh mix)

* AUDIO AVAILABLE HERE *

With the success of Phaeleh’s debut 12” release on the now essential Surface Tension Recordings imprint, it was no surprise that we would see this Bristolian’s name so soon on another breathtaking vinyl release. This time, he’s returning with some serious remix support from Geiom and a truly spectacular remix of Vaccine’s “Atrium” for one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, guaranteed to align your chakras!!!

In what can best be described only in cliché terms, the opening composition “Lounge” is a breath of fresh air. Seriously, take a deep breath. You’re about to be immersed in some of the most melodic and precisely devastating 2-step rhythms you will ever find. From the instructive lessons in chord and bassline progressions, to the haunting vocals and angelic flute, sparsely sown like seeds-of-pure-bliss throughout—this tune is absolutely certain to send shivers up and down your spine!

Gently take the vinyl, so as not to scratch it, and place the record with its B-side facing upward. If you’ve done this correctly, you’ll have located Kamal Joory’s “Geiomix” of Lounge. In a fashion that only Kamal could, Lounge is transformed into an even more uplifting and epic garage banger. Opening with flute from the original, the chopped vocal gently guides the snare and the massive kick to an epic drop that will bring looks of utter disbelief from the guy meditating next to the bins. Hard snares continue to drive this pace, in an evolution that carries on with great purpose to the last spine crushing beat. Almost a response to the original, the Geiomix really offers what the original was yearning for. No more wondering. Now you know.

But please don’t go just yet, because on the remix of one of the most beautiful melodies released on the Dubstep world, Phaeleh steps up and takes a serious crack at Vaccine’s “Atrium”. And not surprisingly to anyone who has been following Phaeleh’s steep climb in the music game as of late, he delivers big time. Opening with the classic scintillating chords of Atrium rmx, you are lulled into a sense that nothing could possibly go wrong anymore. The troubles that ailed you for “Lounge” and the cognizance that everything will be alright, from the “Geiomix” are realized. When the bass on Atrium remix drops, there comes the self realization… Just take a deep breath. There’s nothing to worry about.

Essential, Essential, Essential!

There... 003 is out at the end of this month and 004 should be about 5-6 weeks after that. Like clockwork. Big up all Toronto and Vancouver Massif... Canada is supporting Dubstep bigtime.
 
I've recently started to get into a bit of dubstep.

I've noticed more and more of it being played out and around in my city lately.

Seeing Kode9 in a couple of weeks, can't wait.

Favourite tracks so far:

Rusko - Acton Dread, Love is Real
Kode9 - Magnetic City, Black Sun
Blackdown & Dusk - Focus
Joker - Snake Eater
 
I love Dubstep too. I was very enamored with Caspa's album for a while but it got a little old. However there is a 24 minute "exclusive mix" on getdarker.com that is well worth checking out. I'm also digging Milanese quite a bit lately, and Skream's mix of La Roux is fucking awesome...but everyone already knows about that one. :P There's some other good mixes of it though, just check em out on Youtube.

I don't know that many Dubstep artists because I mostly listen to mixes...it seems like a coherent dubstep album that is quality throughout is a bit of a rarity.

Also I wish that there was a scene for this shit (or dnb or breakcore or any interesting electronic music) in north carolina.

I've come to the conclusion my cat loves dubstep. He never comes into my room to sleep normally, but whenever I play dubstep he comes and sleeps on my bed, if I stop playing it he leaves within 15 minutes or so. It's so weird. I was just blasting Akira Kiteshi's "pinball" before and he came running into my room. How cool is that.
