Re: Saddest moment in dubstep?

Definitely when the term got hijacked by commercial mainlanders and was applied to beats that could otherwise be known as "Mortal Kombat house music."

Also, the day I realized that Skrillex had a long-ass Wikipedia page and Mala had none at all.

Re: Wiley on Battle For Middle You

Yeah, its certainly not "better" now. Its hard to beat the original tune, though. With anything! One of my favorite productions as of late.

Cyrusfx, you are aware that dubstep's been evolving constantly into many, many other things besides brostep, right?

Sorry to break it to you guys, but there's new genres of dance music coming up in the world. The Dubstepforum was/is a good idea, I certainly learned more in the last 3-4 years than I ever thought I would about a sound that I found to be novel, interesting, and that really made the most out of curre...

Re: Timbaland: I Created Dubstep

And two years later, Timbaland still makin shitty music for spoiled white kids who want to pretend they're black. Its a market. I guess I shouldn't hate on him for genius opportunism & exploitation of low-level human psychology.

Re: Advice on getting signed.

Anybody can get "signed," making money after that is the hard part. If you want to do both, you must have all of the below: 1. Great talent 2. Great work ethic (work harder than 90% of your peers) 3. Some sociability 4. Some good luck! You have to have all of the above; you can't compensat...

Re: If you are a 'real dubstep' lecturer, watch this.
