Playing dubstep at the wrong tempo.

[thomas e. griffin]

The first dubstep record I bought was Skream's Skreamizm voume 1. I bought it completely on the off chance because it was in the grime section and it had two records for a bit cheaper than two singles. I didn't have many records at the time as I'd only just started deejaying so I wanted to enlarge my collection.

Because I was totally uninitiated in the whole dubstep (and deejaying) ting, the records confused me because they played at different speeds on both sides and because in grime the bass isn't usually as deep as in dubstep I thought that the side d, with Lightning and Hag on, was played at 45rpm. I was mixing it with some public enemy accapella and buzzing off it pretty hard.

Anyway, I'd just started my music course at uni and because I was chubbing off this fast Skream tune that I ran at about 105bpm instead of 70bpm I made this kind of warp-speed dubstep track for my 'music for film' module to fit with a clip from a Kubrick film we got given to score.

Bare in mind that this was time ago and I'll admit that the bass aint deep enough and the hi-hats are too loud but I reckon it was a nice missunderstanding on my part. Give it a watch a let us know what you reckon.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know any other hip-hop speed dubstep?
I remember some MRK1 tracks off the Rephlex Grime compilation being a bit closer to hip-hop speed, And I reckon I clocked a track on the Vex'd myspace a few months back that was at a non-garage tempo. I for one would be interested in hearing more stuff at that kind of tempo.

i went the other way round

i got distance's "1on1" (or "empire", i cant remember which) which is at 45

then i got donny "the forgotton" (really heavy fucked up d&b track) and dropped it to 33 and pitched it right down.

somehow i can manage to beat match them and it mixes pretty nicely

i like the track speeded up nice vid

[ekstrak]

love it

:O :O :O


What's your actual producer-alias?

[wascal]

I used to mix a few of the tracks off DJ Krush - Kakusei at 45, although usually keymixed with another tune to fatten things up a bit. One of the tunes (cant remember the name, think its on side C, at work atm) is a real chugger when you speed it up

I don't have one. Just use my real name at the moment. If an aka takes my fancy I wouldn't be adverse to using it, but I've not really done much producing recently so I've not thought about it. Thanks for the :O :O :Os though.

Nice man. I might try mixing some bits of jungle in now. I've got Stanton tables with the +/- 50% pitching and the pitch correct function so it'll probably work quite nicely.

i just got numarks with the standard pitch control, so that donny track at 33 minus about 30%, just grinding itself and dragging, sounds proper fucking horrible but in a good way

[ruckspin]

cool tune!

[pk-]

that's a great tune

i'd like to hear more fast halfstep. amit/chase & status-type stuff really does it for me
