I'm not convinced. Without enough evidence, I'll be ambivalent about our 'government' here at dubstep forum (no matter how many times they say it was a very careful decision or whatever). It just reminds me of other experiences I've had in communities (virtual and real) when people have been dealt ...

Check gutterbreakz.blogspot.com to hear the last half hour of the NType n Benga set. Its BIG.

Are all the producers that submitted tracks 'new producers'? Just because they might be unsigned, doesn't make them necessarily 'new'. But hey its up to them. :)
Yea I thought of that when I said new. I really just meant unsigned/upandcoming/amateur/etc but just saying new is easier. But anyways I ...

I tied it up. I agree with Dice. And I think Dubstep Forum Vol 1 sounds silly. We're producing a piece of artwork, not a bureaucratic document. Mind as well call it "tracks by new dubstep producers vol 1".

Keeping this thread more on topic, I was listening to that grime/dubstep mix last night and it is killer. How ridiculous is it when Plastic is mixing between that crazy track (dunno the name) and Cha! And how about that technoy track round 30 min that sounds like grimey polka! Nice.

Thats an awesome story. Oops I broke my gift but oops I just invented some of the dopest music ever.

What about stuff better than Pole? Cuz I always thought he was the best but I haven't heard too much of such music (the german dub revival) and always suspected he wasn't really the pinnacle of the ...

a huge part of the sound is sampled vinyl grooves. crackles and pops and hiss mixed with dub bass and almost invisible beats.
I thought it was all from a broken filter (A Pole-Waldorf, hence the name). But yeah Pole is awesome. Revolutionary avant garde 'nu dub'. Anyone know of music like this as ...

NICE timing. Cheers!

Recording crew where you at? I'm ready to be SCHOOLED.. Old Schooled.

oh, and i am sure that there are many grime fans on this forum (i am one of them), but aren't there already other forums to discuss grime music? what is wrong with a forum being so specific?

Yea I guess talking about grime at a forum called dubstep is kinda silly. (Except for focusing on the ...

I bought my first record ever a few months ago from the UK (woo yea dubstep you finally won me over) and... it came in one of those flimsy cardboard boxes with no padding and was warped! Fortunately, this did not put me off buying records. (Prolly cuz Midnight Request Line came out shortly ...

One can try to name the first people who brought dub into uk garage but I feel like focusing on them solely as the originators of dubstep forgets the diversity of the scene. It is just one strand in its evolution. A central strand yes but not the single strand.

(Rant mode engage..) Dubstep is just ...

Thats hard to believe. Not comprehending music seems equivalent to not being able to understand language or express emotion or something.

Well, its just a pitch thing. At least they can still feel rhythm.

Far more common is people who are amusical in the sense of just not caring for music. Just ...

= something like drum n bass? With fast MCing instead of fast drums. And the comparatively slow dubstep as the bassy element. (the tempo difference being key) The MCing being like human beatboxing but with actual words. This is what grime mcing always was to me anyways. The vibe and pure sound was ...

gardening. what r u doing gardening in the middle of winter?

Big up Bushby. I nominated that questionable mix. Granted, I'm mostly just about selectin and don't think much about mixing skills/techniques. Anyways, looks like imma have to check this one...

earth and space. that does sound funny. but cmon you know what is meant. don't think literally. dub is earthy and dub is spacey.

was 2step not cold and futuristic? I thought that was the whole deal. avante garde futuristic riddims meet soulful divas. similar juxtaposition as dubstep. consider south ...

please no sitting on the fence...
You are wrong... I have a third choice. :lol:

Um just kidding I don't really. But seriously tho, isn't the essence of dubstep the balanced combo of dub (spacey bassy earthy rooty mystical vibe) and step (skippy cold futuristic vibe)? The name dubstep says it all ...

They're bourgeoisie? I don't think its a class thing but about attitude.

thanks maryanne!

Who can identify folks? Just curious. Like, who is Coki? I'd like to see the face of the man who blessed this earth with such a tune as Haunted.
Benga? The Bug?
