techy + funky = win

dark & grimey ups from the other side of the world

nice guys, am gonna bump it from home in a couple hours... thats west coast time I take it?

When I took "The History of Electronic Dance Music" at UCLA in 2000 it was the first time the course had ever been offered, and most everybody I mentioned that to scoffed at the idea, but hey this is gonna be a serious, legit field of study in the future, if it isn't already now... This wa...

Yeah they've got a great free "lecture series" going, have heard/seen Benga, Goldie, Kirk Degiorgio and even Chuck D give talks about their background and what brought them into music... Very interesting indeed. Would like to hear another session or two from some more dubstep forefathers.

^^^^ love all these tracks ^^^^^

Marlow is one of the only producers I've heard where every song blows me away... Every track is jam packed with fresh, compact sonic funkness. Kind of helped get me into dubstep really.

man, this is the first time i've seen this one... gotta check this forum more often!

thanks & looking forward to unpacking this when i get home..

nice... is this one making it to the podcast?

where's my Roots Manuva dubstep tune? I heard a dubstep remix of one of his tracks, not nearly as impressive as if he were to do the beat production himself.

J5 was one of the first underground hip hop bands from L.A. to truly make it into the bigtime (at least for a while)... Preceded by the Freestyle Fellowship and Kool Keith, all some very funky & original audio pioneers. Chali 2na had some dope tracks with Roots Manuva, wouldn't mind hearing that...

I was at a dnb monthly in Waikiki in Aug 2008, a new DJ went up to the tables and spun just 1 track. But I remember I'd never heard anything like it... the beat was fast and slow at the same time, and funky as hell. Deep, vibrational bass that hit the soul. I went up to him after the show and asked ...

I'm just saying, to the dude a few eons back... Lil Jon actually came up with a style of music that's new. Z-Trip is another Generic trip-hop dude. I'd rather hear Lil' Jon's Dubstep than anything Z-Trip has to offer. Dude, are you kidding me?? First of all, Z-Trip has mad DJ skills. Like one in on...

lol @ people turning their nose up at lil jon .. stupid bastards Yes. Everybody knows Lil John fans are generally of the intellectual elite... Well maybe not, but its genius that he managed to trick so many people into paying money for his CDs... I'm just as excited about Lil John in dubstep as I a...

thanks guys, I appreciate da kine words... more to come soon!

I'm just going by what I've heard from him so far. Which makes me think I'd rather hear Dave Chapelle do dubstep.

OOOKKKAAAYYYYYYY!!!! Definately not excited. Any tunes made by American Rappers is bound to be shit. I can't see them getting the whole scene and what it's about. As an American, I agree. Case in point: Snoop turned a really great dubstep tune into a mediocre rap song, pissing off both dubstep and ...

I have to agree with Prolific, the tempo really has a lot to do with it. All dubstep emceeing is done at half time or double-time when compared to your average hip hop vocals, so you really gotta be a pro to make it work. But as I said in the Snoop thread, most major label rappers could give two shi...

dubstep.fm http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=207981289 Aye, seconded. They churn out enough mixes for anybody's little heart's desire(s)... Some are 6+ hours long! Also, -The Expansion Broadcast -SoulChampion Sessions -The Smuggler's Inn I'd also like to know if there...

I think the music changes when the motivation behind the music changes... Sorry to dispel the magic with analysis, but there are few motivations for making music if you stop to think about it. The purest form of artistic creation is art made for art's sake, and that will always be the most sincere c...

I'm boycotting Twitter.

There's already an infinite palette of ways to divert your attention -- do you really need one more?

There are only 24 hours in a day -- how much of your life do you actually want to spend being entertained?
