2004-2006 Dubstep

Amazing years !

So many brilliant releases in that period.

Things that stand out the most for me is Skream's mix in August 2004 and the original Skreamizm.

I remember literally RUNNING to the store to get my copy of Skinny / Splash, good times.

Getting back into the moody, dark, bass heavy numbers that would make the dance, as Bunzero said in another thread, " implode ".

what I do miss a lot personally in dubstep origins is the fact that for once the nuuum was bringing a total different purpose in the dance.
I mean before dubstep, from hardcore, jungle, d&b, breaks, garage,... everything was made to get the dancing crowd exploding.
When dubstep came and when it was played on appropriate sound systems it was the opposite purpose... implosion.

I agree that the " energy " during this period was very different.

What are the highlights ( releases, events, etc. ) of this period in your opinion ?

unfounatly i missed the first few of those years

gutted cos they are my favorite years music wise but of course the vibe of a new scene with no boundaries seems amazing.

Highlight for me is the 2005 loefah period.

Loefah & Skream - 28g / Fearless

So fucking good.

And the first Burial record came out in 2005.

Yea I've been getting into this stuff again recently,

Loefah - Goat Stare is pretty much the perfect example of this sort of stuff IMO, so dark!

edit: wanted to say distance - fallen as well but could only find clips of the vex'd remix

Youngsta.... no doubt, and also agree with the vex'd album and boxcutter.... absolutely ground breaking

2002 to 2005. those are the years for me. when it was hard to describe and still a bit dangerous.

Horsepower, Loefah, Burial.

Wish I was into it at the beginning, would have been sick and i would have been about 11.

As I repeat, I caught on the very tail end, but the tune that made me lose my shit...

Kode9 - Kingstown

The little chime noise, the fucked synths cutting through, the random reggae chord just slapping you out of nowhere.

Brilliant.
