A thought occured to me when fabric went crazy for n-types 10 minute long rinse of eastern jam last night... I mean, we all sit on here dissing it (for what reason? does anybody actually know?) but when it gets dropped everybody loves it. and thats the way it should be. dubstep is in the clubs, not on the forums... the fact is we wouldn't be discussing it at home if there wasnt 20 people for each of us just going out and digging the music

if you didnt know 16 bit or chase and status and played "in the death car" next to "indian dub" people would think it was the same producers.

people just hate it because its overplayed? and instead of saying its overplayed they whine. wah wah chase and satus wha wah pendulum wha wah caspa wahwah wobblesss wahwah what happend to garagee

Dubstep is the people out there pushing the sound.....

This.

But the people pushing the sound are more than just yourself and Ntype and Hatcha I think is the point that was being made. Not that you don't deserve a shitheap of credit for what you do. I could be wrong, I skipped 5 pages of blabbin about this and that. / @Skream

Everyone else: Truth of the matter is that there's only so much you can do within a certain confined structure or "genre" before stuff starts sounding either like the old stuff or something new entirely. You don't have to embrace change but you do have to accept it. Producers aren't doing this for your entertainment they are doing it for theirs. Man up and get over it. There's bound to be innovation and novelties. Look at the game Chess for instance... thousand year and there are still people coming up with "novelties" which is a single move in any direction that hasn't already been made before.

Sometimes that novelty improves on currently accepted wisdom, sometimes not. But it is a novelty. You can still choose to move the way others have moved and still live in relative safety and obscurity.

Tbh this thread and similar threads make it seem increasingly blatant that dubstep is no longer a united scene and pretending that it is is just leading to bad vibes.

Some people want to go out and get crazy to good hard boshy saturday night music and aren't particularly after deep meditation or flipped out rhythmic post-whateverism, and I'd be an arsehole to tell them that they're wrong for doing what they enjoy.

But other people go out and hear something deep or something weird or something they weren't expecting (and get crazy to it, it's not like Kode 9's sets bring the library vibes or anything).

I think a lot of the reason people get their knickers in a twist is because a load of people got into dubstep because they'd found that dnb had turned into predictable boshy aggro, and rather than sit around whingeing about it they went and listened to something else and they thought, hey, here's this new(ish) scene where you can here a deep housey Mala tune up against a monolithic Loefah halfstep workout against shiny electro-futurism from Skream, let's listen to this and let the people who want to listen to predictable big room rave music listen to dnb and everyone will be happy and noone will get their knickers in a twist.

And it's not surprising that a lot of those people aren't happy that they're now getting told that dubstep is predictable big room rave music and they should put up or shut up.

But yeah, to me the problem is that we still try to pretend that a Caspa set and a Kode 9 set are the same thing when they're clearly doing different things for different people.

It's not like all dubstep comes from this one shop in Croydon or anything...

I'm havin' a blast with the music, from 4/4 to breakish to vip's that just go whump. THE most versatile, fun, danceable music, maybe not necessarily dubstep, but a bastard child of 'it' (lol). I only see the crud parts of it on here and with labels fucking people over.

the music is amazing, enjoy it.

dubstep isnt dubstep anymore
