Folks should stop being so melodramatic with thread titles for attention and just instead make a thread that says "I don't like Doorly's style" or something.

"ruining dubstep"?? really...

obviously ruining dubstep is somewhat of an over the top statement, i defended Chase & Status' working with major acts (who was it now... Beyonce or something?) but i don't know what this contributes to anything really. Don't get me wrong, not everything needs to be done 'for the good of the scene', good tunes are good tunes they transcend issues like that. This is just somewhat regressive though.

hes picked commercial songs to remix but still well produced basslines are dirt. I dnt think hes ruining it jus a diferent style is all.

musically it's no worse than skream's la roux remix tbh, though we have a predisposition to liking it because it has skream's name on it. incidentally i dislike both these doorly tracks and the la roux remix.

i'm comfortable sticking with my dmz and hyperdub releases.

Yeah its only going to ruin the scene if it attracts the attention of people who really enjoy that type of thing - which really, didn't belong on the real dubstep scene anyway, so therfore it would just splinter and ceise to exsist once it grows tiresome.

Which if your basing all your work on pop music, is going to be pretty quick i.m.o

And if i hear in for the kill again i may skream. Students behind my house just bum it out again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again .

Hes resposnisble for the whole Kiss Me/Exotic thing in leeds which is basically a load of 12yr old slags dancing to shit music.
And tbh i think if he did get this night started it would most likely be the same thing.

And like i may have over exaggerated to doorly is ruining dubstep, but i just dont wanna see my favourite nights packed out with a load of bandwagoners and from that there will be pressure on the djs to drop more commercialsed tunes and the deeper, better music will be relegated to smaller rooms.

welcome to the world. did nobody learn from drum n bass? or crunk? or bassline house? or 2 step? or grime? or any and every genre of music that was once underground?

also, you live in leeds man, you have subdub for your "proper" dubstep, you dont need to go to a weekly student dubstep night. we have a weekly dubstep / dnb student night up here and it goes fucking off but i dont go when im not booked, because its not my thing as a punter, but its definately helped expose people to the music and we get more students (and a definate increase in the number of girls) in the "proper" nights because of it.

cheer up man, you might pull

Oh shit , it's happening again , remember last time .... Hey , at least we can stand back when they all show up, nodding to ourselves , remembering how we were into dubstep back in the day before it got hot.

While on the subject , where the fuck is Doorly ? Speak up man , surely your on the forum if your a top dubstep producer ?

That was a quote from pendulum?

There being exposed to like, the shite side of dubstep and not the actual good shit.

some people just dont want to take the initive to expand their musical horizons. To them the music world consists off the top 10 songs in the charts. They then get bored and start feeling really cool when they listen to a dnb or dubstep remix, but only for that one reason.

ITS A SAD SAD WORLD.

I do, however, think that there will always be the underground dubstep scene and then the popstep scene (rusko is so,so close)

It's not that people don't want dubstep to get popular, but they want good dubstep to get popular.. and tbh I like dubstep for 2 reasons, Space and Bass and tbh that's never going to be a chart topping combo.

POND LIFE · Post by **POND LIFE** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 12:30 pm

its not even that anyone wants good dubstep to get popular - not because that'd be a bad thing, but because it'd be wishing for the impossible.
which is a good thing, because true dubstep is a completely underground sound which takes too much genuine musical understanding and interest for chart heads to get into.

there's not that much to panic about right now, but at the end of the day, if any of us were offered a lot of money to make a shit remix of a chart song, we'd probably do it. now, this isn't in defense of doorly, because he's taken the initiative to cash in, rather than having been asked to, or so i assume - but if that resulted in the majors thinking 'ooh, dubstep, lets start having steppers remix our chart shite so we can cash in on a pop version of the sound' then inevitably more producers would start doing it and we'd have even more in for the kills getting on our nerves.

and even if the remixes were completely fucking awesome, there is not a single dubstep track that i would want to hear multiple times every night out, on the radio all the time, playing in the street and from cars 24/7.
even if this were the case with for example Archangel, a tune ill happily listen to at home every day probably for many years to come, id start getting pissed off with it.

and thats the problem with stuff like in for the kill. even if it was a good song (wasnt great imo, just a clone of Love Dont Come Easily but a tiny fraction as powerful or good), as an underground music fan you never want to hear any song that often, but when the pop singers voice gets involved somehow it becomes ok.

Kiss Me is long man, I get 10,000 messages on facebook going. DU U WNT MA GLIST. Jesus, I want to punch every single of them big headed fuckers. As for he (who shall remain nameless), you're right. As soon as I got invited to the group, I spent 5 seconds reading it thinking, you are a tosser.

Didn't realise he was mad for coke though, that made me chuckle.

Doorly doesn't scare me, I listened to one of his tunes, laughed, then stopped it.

It's his vibe, good for him. Just stay the fuck away from me and my deep tech sub vibe.

I think most of you guys on this forum are still firm believers that dubstep is far more underground than it actually is, and that it takes a true music fan who understands it too get it. I really don't think theres that much too it, honestly.

I love the sound, I have for 2/3 years, and I understand that some people can't get into it, but I can't get into hardcore or gabba, but it doesnt mean I don't understand it? Its just not my thing.

Most of you on here think your bigger music fans than most people because you like a "proper underground style of music", when really you've just by chance come across this new sound and you like it, it doesn't mean you can look down on people who like chart music? Its just what they like.

I don't like arrogance, especially in music, makes the scene look moody and elitist. Don't do it.
