What the fuk is going on with jumpup?

The Uk is part of Europe. I am originally from Texas.

People from the UK don't see themselves as part of Europe - they have a sovereign currency and curry houses.

we also look down on/violently oppose the concept of mullet hair cuts and leather bands round our wrists, we dont know how to drink and our social welfare systems including public transport, healthcare and education are exceedingly sub-standard thank you very much!

Oppose Mullet hair cuts??? You have been out in Shoreditch, right?

we seriously need that sarcasm mark

I hate to contribute to this thread because of the manner in which it's presented...........BUT.....

I think that the hype style has it's place. My beef, however, is that I CANNOT listen to it for extended amounts of time. I like hear a lot of more laid back vibes and while there aren't people jumping around waving glowsticks, people stay longer, drink more alcohol, and the vibe is generally much more friendly and loving. But, hey...some people like jumping around waving glowsticks so they have to be accommodated by someone.

I do not want the genre to be pigeonholed. I was drawn to dubstep because there was this moody, bassy vibe that I found really interesting and enjoyable...Artists were experimental and there was a lot of variety within the genre. Personally, I think there is more longevity in a wider range of sounds. I think dubstep has incredible potential in that the only requirements for production include 1) 140bpm 2) subbass...this leaves so much room to really push the boundaries.

Biggups to EVERYONE making this music. TBH, I can only encourage people to be themselves and play what they feel. I may or may not come to your shows, but this is art and there's no use in laying down silly rules. I can only make observations and present my personal opinion...some will agree, others won't.

As for Robx Sparx, it's odd that you don't believe that the DJ should be educating too much. Instead of talking about the issue, calling out names, etc, in a thread, perhaps it is time to make yourself the educator and only do the deep stuff you enjoy to actually make a difference in the scene instead of sitting back and telling the rest of the dubstep community how what they're doing is wrong?

When I say don't educate the audience too much I don't mean not to play deep but be a bit sly in introducing it to a crowd who don't appreciate it in large doses, just by playing the same tunes in a different order you can get your message across without clearing dancefloors. Keymatching tunes of different styles and constantly switching them so that the melodies of the deeper tunes ride over the basslines of the heavier/tekkier stuff without letting the deep tunes ride on their own for too long for most of the mix works for me.

I don't think what was dominating the charts at the beginning of last week when I made this post (and for the week or so b4) was exactly representative of the dubstep community just a minority milking a certain sound which happens to be flavour of the month thats all. I prefer playing longer more experimental sets with less pressure to keep the audiences attention but I don't want to stop writing/playing any style, I'm just not feeling certain producers cheesy generic take on jumpup but if you thought I really only wanted to write deep you obviously haven't seen what I've said about generic deep music on other threads have you?

Anyway Funtcase has accepted my invitation of a battle! I'll post details when we've sorted out a date...

[rinseballs21]

cuz it seems like it

apart from the music id and feedback threads

[SketchyDub]

i did a city and colour remix ages ago and ghst vip'd it and it got like this many pages

[shankstep]

as opposed to where?

... from where I stand UK is a part of Europe + I always thought that Rob Sparx, the man the myth the brand is born and bred in the UK.

Does anyone refer to the UK as Europe though? No. Quite clear to see he's talking about France, Belgium and Germany etc.

oh you britons.

We don't really call ourselves that either. Just to add my contribution to this enthralling, everlasting thread: I like some stuff and don't like other types of stuff. 3.2.1...DEBATE!

All done.

[Neurotik]

I like some stuff and don't like other types of stuff.

I like other types of stuff and i don't like some stuff! Wanna take this outside!?
