Dubstep

The first time I heard dubstep was at a rave last weekend and that was the best music ever to roll to. When you hear it when you're not rolling it doesn't sound like music that would mix with MDMA well. It's great to dance to because it's not so fast but flows so well. You don't get all tired. I've been listening to dubstep all this week and love it. I'm normally into trance, house, and electro.
 
well then im glad you found dub, its time we started converting people over from the dark side that is trance ;)


in dubstep related news:

Ive been binging on Giant, Jakes, Trolley Snatcha, Mala, 16bit, and Excision as of late
His Shambhala 09 mix is incredible to say the least. (it makes me so sad I wasnt able to go :()

can i please direct everyone's attention to EPROM?

12" split with ESKMO comin out early next year featuring EPROM's track entitled "HENDT" - also known as ribcracker. give it a listen on his myspace player http://www.myspace.com/eprommusic this song is so fun to mix, too!

his mixtape. is. the. shiiiiit. cop it here all quick-like.

humanoid is getting a release sometime, too...
and sweatboxxx is a fabulous track as well.

a lot of people were talking about his set at shambhala this past year, speaking of excision's set. i really don't have anything bad to say about this guy... he's my favorite producer of the year and honestly... an even better dj. woah, yeah, i said it ha.

+1 for Excision's Shambhala 09 mix :) I was playing this in my car, had it cranked to the max and this old couple pulled up next to me and wound there windows up and blocked their ears lol...

Was a classic moment ;)
 
JAKES just added to the already stellar lineup (benny page, babylon system, an-ten-nae, thebuilder, blackheart) for january's underground RAVE NU WORLD in SF/OAKLAND...

also.. this mix is ridiculously good for someone who's just delving into dubstep:

thebuilder told me he had a lot of fun making recent tune featured on the above mix entitled "shpongled" - check it here. it's getting a lot of blog action today, and rightfully so. the tune is sick - right up there with hyph mngo, DONT EVEN THINK I'M KIDDING.

:)
 
jakes rules, but in my opinion, the ultimate producer right now is LOST. that is fucking heady music, totally warped rhythms and gnarly basslines...

saw mary anne hobbes about two weeks ago, too, and was pretty blown away: she has some serious VIPs!! unfortunately the dallas dubstep scene is pretty weak... mostly all this new leftfield-tinged bullshit, no bass weight and no tight grooves *coughmundosuckscough*
 
Ive really gone off Dubstep. Can't beat a bit of Boxcutter/Broken Note tho. Maybe Ive gone off it coz Ive stopped battering the K, who knows. One thing I am sure of is that the world needs less Dubstep DJ's and more Junglists.
 
I would like to cast my vote for BURIAL-burial being one of the best dub albums of the decade. 'Spaceape' is a great track and so is 'Prayer'. Both are dark and take me right to the place i feel most comfortable when ever i listen to them. I love taking large quantities of opiates and slipping into a dark burial dreamland.

I've only heard snipits of it and didn't really care for the style of vocals on most of the tracks.

i LOVE that style of vocals. but i'm an all around burial fan.

the first time i heard burial, i felt... uncomfortable. my (now ex) boyfriend told me sooner or later, i'll get it.

now, burial calms me down quicker than boards of canada. that says a lot.

also burial isn't dub... dub doesnt mean dubstep... i hate getting into debates over genre specifics, but this is something that's been a huge deal over at dubstepforum lately (and plastician will not.stop.tweeting.aboutit.) so thought i'd mention it.

anyone in the sf area hit up the nightmare before christmas event in oakland this past weekend?
 
^^ i don't think it does mean dubstep. Dub in my opinion is classified by the use of reverb on the melodies and harmonies and delay on various elements of the rhythm. IMO the burial album i mentioned fits the description of DUB. Dubstep is more synthetic sounding and ravey. This doesn't have that sound from what is heard in the dubstep scene where i live.

I put that album in here because there is some other music mentioned in this thread that i also think is more closely resembling DUB than dubstep, so it seemed relevant

Hey guys,

I recently started listening to 16bit, they make some crazy shit. I am really into it. Normally I am not that big into dubstep, but 16bit are making me want to check out more dubstep.

Any recommendation for dubstep artists that have a similar vibe to to 16it?

I normally listen to drum & bass, trance, psytrance and a little bit of house.
 
Not much into dubstep, but just heard Bassnectar's remix of Where is my mind by the pixies... holy crap its awesome.

I know practically nothing about dubstep, but if someone can recommend me tunes along the lines of that song, itd be much appreciated.

I keep listening to it over and over

Oh, and you can download the mp3 for free from bassnectar's website :)
 
That was my Christmas Day song to binge on. Love that tune :)
Bassnectar has his own sound really, so finding songs that sound like his are pretty tough. TBH, that song wasnt dubstep, so what you're looking for isnt really dubstep.

You might want to try Jantsen, BreakBeatBuddha, Beats Antique, and FreQ Nasty

They're more on the glitch/wobble/break beat side of things

I suggest digging deeper into Bassnectar's wide armada of sound. You'll find that his tracks are out of this world.

I see you suggesting breakbeatbuddah. Also "Tipper" has that same glitch/wobble/breakbeat sound. Checkout "tipper - wobble factor" and a darker one "tipper - surrounded"

Also "vibesquad" has the same sound and style as breakbeatbudda and tipper.

the most recent bassnectar album COzza Frenzy is dubstep through and through, but i prefer his earlier glitch-hop sound like on "Underground communication".
 
ehhh, Cozza Frenzy isnt all dubstep. There is a major dub vibe and influence to it, but its not dubstep per say.

Bassnectar himself cant put a genre to his music; he calls is music "bass music", which is what it is. He doesnt have a set genre
 
NumberNin6 FTW!

excision & Datsik are doing GREAT tingz for themself as well.

of course Bassnectar, wait til you here some of his new upcoming projects with all of these guys above. ;-)

also, Reso is dropping bombs left and right. If you have a minute, youtube: Ajapai - What Do You Hear?

Enjoy!
