People who are already frothing at the mouth about how "it's ruining dubstep" / "it's crossed-over, the end is nigh" / etc will froth even harder, and will give themselves a migraine, or an embolism

People who think it can't possibly be called dubstep because it has no chainsaw waveform anywhere in sight will continue to slate it - ensconced in their ignorance, as they are doing so.

People who enjoy it, who are fair-minded and appreciative of the scene will say "fair play, well deserved - at least it's someone from the early scene like Benga making it big and bringing dubstep to the masses, and not some no-mark studio producer making a dubstep-by-numbers beat from a sample pack for a piece of shit artist like Miley Cyrus or the fucking Saturdays."

People who have been into the music for some time will have a hard time 'letting the music go' - it was something a (fairly large actually) niche of people liked and they feel precious about it and see it crossing over as it's death knell.

They seem to forget that the core good producers will still make music the way they always have, that dancefloor and heavy sound system will always trump tinny car speakers.

Good dubstep will sell, bad dubstep will tank. Majors will bring in a dubstep act that hasn't spent years grafting undergound, that act will fail, the major will lose several thousand pounds and back the fuck away. Independent artists will find themselves in demand as a result.

People who have never heard of dubstep before will like what they hear, check iTunes for Benga (first) then branch out from there.

They will come to your dubstep raves. They will pay money on the door, buy drinks at the bar, dance to the music, smoke a joint, drop a pill or some mdma and enjoy themselves. You will walk past them, dance next to them, and you'll never know any different.

They'll get more into the music, like some niches and hate others. Buy some albums, slate others.

They'll find their way onto dubstepforum, and by the time the next big dubstep crossover hit comes around they'll be veterans frothing at the mouth about how dubstep is being ruined and the end is nigh

Repeat ad nauseum

I read this whilst listening to Skream - A song for Lenny.

It was pretty epic, I recommend you do the same.

This mornin was stumblinng round twitter, kept reading about On a Mission being out.. So I thought fuck it I'll buy the ep... What a load of shite... On a mission ain't bad but the Roska remix sounds rushed and her other track is lyrically stupid and boring!

Can I get a refund?

i have to agree I'm not much of a fan of Louder, its alright though, not really shit. But the roska remix is sick, I like it.

just bought it off itunes...

pretty pissed off its not even close to a 320..
definitely not buying from there again!

Eh??

you mad mate? Dont know what itunes u bought it from but mine is 320. Sounding crisp!


Now just bring on the freebie-giveaway of Man On A Mission.....for all the ppl who loved the tune b4 the vocals came along!!!!

nah its a shitty AAC 256, probably because i bought the single track?
but nah junodownload it is for me from now!

I dunno where that dude got a 320 from, im sure itunes dont do 320 kbps MP3's but as the other dude said 256kbps is good quality, im sure its around equal to 320 MP3, plus you said before its not even close to 320, its not far off lol, atleast its not a 128 or a 64 or even a 32! lol

I'd have to admit i was a bit brash.. I'm blaming it on an early morning wake up! After rest, I still wish i had just went for the single..

Itunes Plus used to do 320, then I'm sure they announced when they got rid of Plus, they promised 320s all round... but they're all 256...
For me it has gotta be for 7digital for the majority of music, then JUNO and Beatport for the more genre specific stuff! all three twenty!

[sc0tty]

Is this ever getting pressed then?

[OurDubs]

ok so mid week, it's number 5, not really a chance for number one but only 3000 sales off of number 3..

[knivez]

i think louder is freakin dope! go on katy!

[Visitor]

i think i need air already did the job

edit - but i do like this one better

[prisoner]

320s up on beatport sounding solid, picked it up today.

Excellent track, but this could be a potential disaster.

All dub artists could think mainstream is the way to go, like Rusko and Skream (seemingly) have..
