Dubstep in Cape Town

[jackquinox]

african dope wouldnt be on it.

didnt realise fletcher was droppin some dubstep,that must be pretty recent,might have to chat to him.

mark/niskeron from biglove was on dubstep, and im sure hes still feelin it. but his dnb thursday nights at fiction have blown up. hes on some nex missions now. i remember talks of dubstep at 2nd room at homegrown but that was last year sometime-i think its too much hassle for him to start gettin into something new when the thing he was working at for so long is finally working.im not even sure hes still doing homegrown so much now. homegrown is pretty dutty tho(as is mercury). went to see diesel boy there last week and it was horrible.
would rather try it out at fiction or something.
its hard finding a decent venue with good sound.

theres a new bar thats opened up opposite fiction. im gonna try openin up some nights there.good vibe,easy to fill blahbalh. gonna hand out some free sample cds. put them in the smaller stores etc. lets see what happens. hopefully itll happen soon and not next year. im getting itchy feet.

That was the night homegrown and the flyer was made of perforated roach paper, thats all come back to me now, that and some random sandwich shop on long street called the pickwick papers.

I saw someone post something about a night in Cape Town doing dubstep a few months back, but didn't hear much after that. Cape Town needs one, I dropped a few dubstep ones at the Sound Squad new years party and within two minutes I'd already had 3 very angry (& drunk) drum & bass heads come up and tell me to play it faster
I can see the dubs doing well there though, I'll come back to drop it there fo
' sho

i played sound squad 2009. i played a dubstep set as did hyphen & sfr and im sure the mix n blend boys dropped some tunes . and everyone loved it! shit went off. just to show how things have changed this side

yep, I played there NY 2006-7, so it was a while back.
Another sign of the growth in the scene, today Cape Town based dubstep artist T.O.B. is released on Muti Music, currently featured on Beatport dubstep section, see post here: http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=100623
