8) i'm so sick of this elitist attitude from dub-heads. i've followed this thread for a while trying to find dubstep i like and it's really just off-putting to be talked down to like this because of what style i like. i've tried listening to rusko and i've tried listening to the 5 years of hyperdub comp. i like rusko more, and that is just what i like. i guess i'm just too dumb to 'understand'

if people want to argue that certain dubstep artists are better than others thats cool, but lost the stuck up attitude
 
Genres are something to categorize music. They are not meant to limit creativity.

Dubstep producers need to find some new sounds. A lot of dubstep records sound too similar. More creativity would be a good thing.

Agreed, check these artists out if you want some innovation/cool styles

James Blake
Mount Kimbie
Kingdom
Quest
Burial
Martyn
Silkie
Joy Orbison
Ital Tek

There's a lot of producers pushing great sounding creative beats, they're just a bit harder to find. Gotta dig a bit deeper to get passed the mainstream, ya dig?

It's the same with any genre of music.

Simply stuff becomes generic because someone hears a sound they like from someone else, and use their sound, but changing it only a little - like a rapper "biting" another's style - without thinking outside the box, or even considering fusion.

WHich is why if you're going to be a good progressive musician - your influences need to be pretty eclectic!

Here's a couple more tunes -

Silkie - concrete jungle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZfKRvvDUhI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00c1oOCtmb0 Cotti - Redemption
a couple of some seriously chilled ones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK8jI33MJUA RSD - Jah Way

L-Wiz - Fruit shop - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uik8kRtgQcY

Something a bit strange and out of the ordinary - definitely enjoyable...not sure I would dance to this one though....maybe made for a lapdance or something...I have no idea...lol Ramadanman - Grab somebody

AAAAAAND finishing with a nice, different, crisp BANGER:

Jazzsteppa - America B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdXGvsyk1NQ
---- BAD ASS TUUUUUNE - definitely one of my new faves, love jazzsteppa.

oooh one of the people is annoying me the most in the scene at the mo...

Even though I like his music, it's getting further & further removed from dub-step - to the point where if I'm in the mood for dubstep, and someone puts this stuff on I stop dancing and have to switch moods...

What's wrong with me?!?! :|

He's a good producer and I like his sound, it's a very distinctive sound.

Yah I def know what you mean, but hes got some real gooders.


Saw Mark Instinct last night and he killed it! Think i broke my toe from dancing.
 
Think you said it well. It's less restricted than other genres of electro music. This has got to ge a good thing. If music doesn't stretch and evolve it will go stale and die. Dubstep has got my bands interest "Dark ProjeX". Let's hope there are more suprises to come. Skreams new album has gone all ambient. Less wobble but the root remains. Long live the difference. Remember this came from 2 step garage.
