That Industrial Sound

[wubstep]

What happened to this shit?

Milanese
Vex'd
Boxcutter
King Cannibal
Some Niveau Zero
Distance

You know the score, has quite an overlap with the 'dungeon sound' ( ) but a harder edge I guess. Elements of breakcore, dark atmospherics, amens etc.
Was just listening to Forensics - Dark Matter Vol.9, brought it all back.





Fuck orrrf!

[wubstep]

Raah.

[prisoner]

probably because VEX'D did it better then anyone, and trying to improve upon what they did is pretty damn hard. ; )

[kernelcoremode]

is bit hard to get tarcks like these, but luckily there's some producers still doing industrial sounding stuff.. check blackmass plastics and generally the combat gang, syndetic recs, anstam, j beats been doing some stuff in this vein, brackout who release stuff by the Bracket and last but not least, Ekaros, check two tracks of his upcoming album in my soundcloud :

but yeah, u could say it is "dungeon" style, or at least somewhere in between..

I'm currently making stuff like that... with breakcore'esque mashed up/processed drums, but at 140. Hopefully I'll finish some sometime soon.

It's my favorite 'sound' in dubstep.

[test recordings]

Yeah lots of this is breaksy/breaksteppy so you'll probably find a lot of it filed about as 'breakcore', quite a few heads do 140/280bpm stylings as well as 180bpm+ smashers like King Cannibal and Milanese

Saw Scorn at Roadburn, pretty surreal seeing a room full of bearded doomsters getting down to industrial dungeonstep lol. Was most excellent though, insane amount of Turbsound.

Cheers for recommendations so far, will be investigating!

Balkansky, Broken Note & Caski all have somewhat related stuff.

Shit like this is really just proof to me that hard, brutal dubstep can be made very well. There's a huge divide in dubstep these days and I think a lot of the 'deep heads' are scared off by anything brutal because of an association with the whole 'brostep' thing, but 'hard' doesn't have to be generic. And I think that especially the producers in the original post (Milanese, Boxcutter, Vex'd) are some of, if not the most creative producers in dubstep.

[Widowmaker]

what would you say the track in my sig is?

[Widowmaker]

double post

OH, totally forgot about this gem:

Spot on.

I think a lot of it is to do with 'deep heads' generally being hipsters ( ) and can't actually handle hard music/don't like to admit they like it cos the girlies don't. I come from a metal/free party background and can't stand brostep, this is the logical sound.

Ital Tek tune was big, always forget about that guy.


Don't even know why I consider this guy part of this, just got a really unique (underrated) sound. Got plenty of heavier tracks but this is most excellent anyway.

[wolf89]

I gotta agree. I really miss the hard edged sound like this.

Had a lot grime influence in it too I've always thought.

Maybe if any of us who produce had a bash at it we could try bring it back. Hahaha

10 Tons Heavy + 16 years old =

[Pistonsbeneath]

i have all this stuff on wax...milanese is a badman...his last album though was at some odd tempos

[nozl]
