Dubstep

Hey guys, I'm a DJ from Jersey. Back when I was spinning out at raves and shit I mostly spun hard acid trance. I have grown out of the scene itself but still have a deep love of the music and still spin for my freidns and at smaller parties. I have been into Dubstep for a while now. I will be recording a Grime mix shortly but waiting for a few more racords to get officially released which are bangers. I did make a very very chillout Dubstep mix. Attached you will find the VIP copy.

My motto "Taking drugs, to make music, to listen to, while taking drugs" This mix brought to you with Diesel
 
I've been into Drum and Bass, House and Electro for a while and recently started listening to Dubstep and I think I may have found my new favorite electronic genre. Been listening to a lot of Rusko, Stenchman, Bar 9 and Sukh Knight.

am an older dj myself - grew up on acid techno scene uk.
dubstep - especially rougher stuff is very dancefloor-friendly
in fact its digital violence at times at the events our label put on - the only time ive seen a digital mosh
i guess you can liken it to d and b - but the point about bpm with dubstep is that all the basslines melodies etc are around 140 bpm (same as strandard trance/breaks/techno) EXCEPT that drum beat religiously stays at half tempo, despite build ups as per usual in all varieties of dance music.
at first i didnt get it, i found it irritating, l;ike it was going to drop and never did - eventually i realised thats the whole fucking point.
myself and other producers have been creating music that explores bass frequencies like no other dance music before - it has had our venues upgrading soundsytems as we systematically destroy those not built up to the job.
by the drum loop staying half tempo - it causes almost a frustratuion - a locked down tension and aggression - with a shift of focus on to the extremely addictive sound of a wobbly bass produced when you send the lfo to the cut off filter.
it can be raw as hell, and shake up an event - though admittedly thats when im booked or attending dubstep specific nights.
I myself do like a four on the floor kick or huge break - so i tend to move through nu school bass heavy breakbeat and on to techno/psychedelic etc bringing a lovely build to your whole set.

its all personal preference really - but make sure you give it a good go and see it in full action - as i said, i , like many others merely found it was a shift of focus and a genre that took acclimatising to.
it certainly is the newest/most convention breaking genre that is not merely a sub genre for a while - i had been wondering for years what avenues hadnmt been truly explored.
best thing to come out of the london scene recently.

crank it up!

wub wub wub wub

i've been a fan of that lojik bootleg since early this summer. chill stuff.

lately i've really been feeling rustie, eprom, joker, 12th planet, babylon system, noah d, DZ, rastatronics, i could go on... loving the video-game-like 8-bit sound, not digging the midrange chainsaw grossness...

check this blog (the never-ending playlist) for free downloads, good mixes, dubstep gossip etc: http://www.sickmuze.wordpress.com
 
I definitely respect dubstep and am in no way dissin it.. But I'm kind of getting annoyed that all the good dnb producers are switching to dubstep. It all sounds the same to me.

Its just breaks slowed down with reggae sounds.

I think it's just because the most popular shit all sounds the same. It's like a bandwagon for most. They want to momentarily exploit it until it becomes stale and then tasteless.... well we're getting there. You have to look for it, but right now is the best time for music ever IMO. We have the vast back catalogues of amazing music from the past and we have all the new stuff happening... never a better time to be a fan of music.

there are plenty of dubstep producers who don't implement "reggae sounds" into their tunes.

like rusko, for example. biggest internationally recognizable name in dubstep right now and his recent stuff often doesn't even touch on anything near reggae... besides that ever present snare on the three.

people are flocking toward dubstep because it's so versatile... it's so diverse. that's one of the reasons i got into the music - there are so many directions!

mmm. actually, i'm rather fond of thugstep these days.
 
i went to see "rosko" some it like that, a london dub stepper on the thekla boat it was proper jumping and ravin lots of nice fun attitude, grimey beats, anthems,and more darker grimier silicone sounds , number 1 anthem though for ages is t.c's wheres my money caspa remix, aways gets the crowd going no matter how old this track is.

Hmm. I would say rap with cool dubstep and electro breaks sounds in it. For a good example, go to Distorted Minds on myspace music and listen to the first song, it has a "thugstep" sound and even in the title.. lemme find the link..

http://www.myspace.com/dmindsuk

yup its the first song..

They called it "Gangsta Step"
 
Lol @ "rosko"

I've just been on a soulseek frenzy, getting as much new dubstep as I can get my hands on. I found out about a new crew from belgium called Ganja White Night, they've only got a few tunes out, I don't even think they have offical releases but they have an awesome mellow sound.

Check out Blueberry and Peace By Fear, great stuff.
 
dubstep +1

Somebody above talked about the versatility of dubstep, and I definitely agree. Some artists put a reggae spin on it, others (Rusko) throw it through the electro machine, I love all the variations I hear, as long as it has a few cups of wobble and a heaping tablespoon of whomp!
