People into dubstep from the start,how do u feel now?

[seckle]

seckle dragging out 2004 tracks,when ppl were making those kinda tracks as a standard grime thing....

you know well that there was a good year or so, when certain tunes and certain radio shows on rinse blurred the lines deep, and you didn't know what you were listening too. rephlex called it grime!

[Basic A]

brostep got droped down from heaven

all the retards started to like it then everyone except hot girls

Around here, hot girls LOVE bro...

Around here, hot girls would have not the faintest idea who Pinch is...

Around here, hot girls are either really cool or rally lame, I cant decide...

But they say deep stuff is boring and gay...

So I do this verytime I go to a rave these days

obviously dubstep is taking a step that some don't want it to.

but really there is no stopping it

imo there are 3 sides

GOOD HYPE (JAKES, SKREAM)


NOISE (.....)


AND NEXT LEVEL (ORBISON, GUIDO ETC)


hopefully the noise will die out. imo good hype needs to be pushed more, it needs to be brought to the people who are into the noisy bullshit.

it was called grime.....the term dubstep isnt as old as ppl pretend it is....grime came before dubstep..then ppl shot off into this dubstep thing...the same as people have shot off into the future garage thing its called progression and seperation...

of course if you want to go back to PAYG days grime is the daddy. that said, my point still stands for a time around 2003-2004, when the lines blurred, and even rinse dj's on rinse called it dubstep.

grime was still before dubstep both went different directions....one went more dubby a wobbly,the other got faster and added orchestra hits and the sub bass was replaced with more mid basses...

i like both genres alot both are important for me, grime more i suppose,as it was what i liked before dubstep arrived...

ill just leave something plastician the (grime producer) said on another forum

The reason Joker gets called Dubstep is the same reason my music used to get called Dubstep back in 2004.

Its too structured and intricate on its own for the average grime listener to be labelling it as grime when you put it next to most producers beats which are built in loops of 16's and 8's.

Its built as instrumental music so you got to make it interesting, where as most grime producers build a riddim with the mc vocal in mind. This is something I never used to do, same with Joker.

I just spotted somebody actually quoted an old interview I did back in 2005 on here....

"On a final note: stop calling my music dubstep! It's simply grime without a vocal on top of it wasteguys! You want to hear dubstep listen to DMZ, Youngsta, Loefah, Hatcha - they are the dons and my sound is totally different to that. Next person to write that I am dubstep will get a wonderpalm to the jawside with my Nintendo Powerglove"

Thats nuts I can remember actually typing that!! Whats worse is people weren't calling it Dubstep back then, they were calling it FWD beats. Which is a rubbish name to start with.

Back then Dubstep was all sub-bass and film samples though, the lines have blurred a lot since then, dubstep now does actually sound quite similar to the grime tunes I was making back then.

Now I just make whatever. I take influences from all sorts. It still sits somewhere between dubstep and grime but you can't really place it anywhere specific.

also the way dusbtep has fallen off is disgusting. some of the crap posted on this forum makes me ill

[hanif]

thread reminded me of this old thing:
http://www.dubstepforum.com/where-was-d ... t9595.html

skream/benga etc not even under dubstep . obviously the lines were less distinct

[fractal]

just as they are now, super blurred... weasel thinks phonebox is "future garage" i think it's dubstep, whatever... who cares what was/is called what? i love the good dj's like Oneman, Untold, Iknonika, Kode9 etc... who don't give a shit about genre definitions and play old stuff with new stuff, too many people are so quick to jump on the "new" thing and leave the "old" thing behind. i gotta lot of respect for those who continue to respect the classics and use them in conjunction with the Next stuff



still think it's hilarious that people care about the name of the music they listen to and say silly things like, "i listen to future garage now" like it's the only music they listen to all day, all night

[plastician]

People constantly confuse grime / dubstep now. Today's dubstep sound is closer to the grime sound I loved in 2004 than anything "grime" i've heard for years

[musiclive3]

definitely think things are progressing in a good way. 70% of the stuff on Beatport's dubstep homepage sounds like one monotonous track to me, but you also have producers who are doing their own thing (Guido, Starkey, Phaeleh, Joker, etc.). Them guys are what makes it interesting, and you can pretty much ignore the fact that every permutation of a wobble rhythm has been put on tape at this point. "Oskillatah" kinda blew my mind when I first heard it, but I'm glad that the initial trance of the wobble has pretty much worn off.

If you speak to these guys im almost sure they tell you that, what they make is NOT dubstep. I have got into Dubstep alot recently and i know the sound originated in Croydon, as they say? The Closest place to me is Bristol from Bath where im studying, and im so into the sound at the moment from bristol but it is also so varied. Must be a least 50 established producers doing dubstep. Biggest is Joker, his sound is proper smooth and krisp, could easily cross over mainstream where the music a few yrs back was proper underground, but now it seems like you cant catch him at any club nights just huge events or festivals and he has moved away from the experimental sounds he would play. Guidos stuff is really for ladies very garage instrumental stuff, but still cool. Starkey is in a league of his own and can be crazy, well talented.

basically im saying dubstep has gone commercial and moving into the mainstream and their be a new sound emerging soon enough.

Ok

[deadly_habit]

indifferent, i always find new tunes that blow me away with the older sound of the genre and how it's progressed. granted gotta sift through a lot more filler and garbage tunes now, but that happens as any genre progress and amasses more and more producers and a following.
