Following on from the discussion about broken beat and jazz in dubstep in the main forum I thought I'd post a couple of recent tracks that are in that direction, sampling seventies fusion-era Miles Davies.
Billy Preston Dub was on one of Selector Dub-U's shows. I was thinking about how Kode9 talks about dubstep being focused on having massive sub-bass with anything you want on top, and I wanted to apply that to Miles in deep space mode. This tune therefore has oodles of round subs, but with a rhythm that's not exactly a regular dubstep beat - it's got a lot more strange swing. It's built around a lot of complex editing of Miles' Billy Preston tune, originally on Get Up With It, though I took the version on Bill Laswell's Panthalassa remix album. It's here: http://www.grievousangel.net/Audio/Grie ... tonDub.mp3.
I then did We Want Miles, a more straight forward dubstep tune which cuts the Miles samples down to breathless ghosts. It's probably a better tune in my opinion, It's here: http://www.grievousangel.net/Audio/Grie ... tMiles.mp3.
Let me know what you think.
