"dubstep : a remix joke genre"

[HRKRT]

what i'm talking about is that all these anonymous sound-a-like records are doing nothing to develop the corner of music that we occupy. if someone applied the same writing techniques of the people you mentioned to the template, they would be properly on to something. but from what i hear (and i do really listen to it all... i have to in my job), no one does this. they just shift beats around differently on step sequencers or try to make the most convoluted fart noise possible. basically, to my ears, it's starting to get very, VERY stale.

There is dubstep like this. but there is also dubstep that is much more inventive and original in terms of production. PLEASE listen to some of these artists, othewise the more you post, the more people are going to repeat that you need to listen to a wider variety.

For something to be underground it has to be illegal?

yes.

erm, what??? since when was music of any shape or form illegal??!? Maybe there's a corner of North korea where the villagers have to smuggle deep medi records in under the cover of darkness, yes, but explain this statement please...?!

you quite clearly haven't got a fucking clue what you're chattin about matey. either that or you're just trolling hard. Or maybe all those years on the rave scene has taken its toll eh

It seems to me that your major issue with dubstep is that its, erm, dubstep, so please move along - go and join 'indiebandforum.com' and make a thread about how the latest Arctic Monkeys album won't be a dancefloor smasher because it hasn't got enough wobble and cockney geezer samples in it, or other such paradoxical-yet-bloody-obvious nonsense statements

After listening to Dubba Johnny's remix EP I think this thread just validated itself a little. He just beat Mt Eden at his own game. Shite producers are just putting generic Reason Massive wobble behind any acappella and do a little chop & screw and voila. I mean, in all fairness, this has happaned with all electronic genres (one must only recall when The Orb remixed the entire Pink Floyd discography... ). The idea of taking popular songs or iconic progressions and adapting them to the under produced stereotypes of a particular genre's scene always happens eventually. It's electronic music's version of a cover band at a dive bar.



Within art there will always be the intellectual breed that continues to develop the concepts of that art, but then there are those without artistic integrity that pursue success by reformatting imitations of safe, previous commercial successes.

OP: your first mistake was asking a girl about dubstep.



anyway, i dont mind good dubstep remixes. they're just few and far between. i generally only like them when it's a remix of a song that was dubstep to begin with, and it's done by a decent+ dubstep producer. just seems that 99% of them are top40 rap/dance tracks done by chrispy-esque battys who just use some robot sounds over the original track's chorus with some bloops and bleeps thrown in for good measure. it makes me want to blow up the youtube servers.

Off topic a bit, but I can see why you're frustrated. Youtube is not a good place to find talented artists. more often than not I find myself watching about an eighth of a 'Filthy Advanced Bass' tutorial or something, and finding out that they themselves had JUST learned lfo+filter cutoff... people don't innovate before they contribute anymore, and it's getting a bit oversaturated. Lots of tunes that are just a loop as well.
