Most Influential Labels in Dubstep

[datilt]

Deep Medi now delivers top quality over years. For me the best dubstep label of all time.

[Sageon]

Apart from the usual; DMZ, Hyperdub, Tempa, Deep Medi aside ... Dub Police has had an impressive output of releases thought it has lost some of its credibility due to releasing a Doctor P tune and swaying more to the shitestep.

The labels that have particularly excited me this year have been Chestplate, Osiris Music UK 007 onwards, and Swamp 81.

deleted scenes (just one of the most influential to me personally - and they did it with only 4 tunes)

oh and off road

[sc0tty]

Tempa
DMZ
Osiris
Deep Medi

[__________]

probably Dub Police

I wish it was DMZ, but 99% of the dubstep I hear has no DMZ influence.

deleted scenes is ridiculously sick...

Memory Loss might be my favourite tune ever...terminate & stutter are heavyweight, its what happens when u stick pinch n distance in a room, but whilst buying buy on sight (they are working on release 3 now i believe) unfortunately just a side project so I doubt there will be any real volume from it with both Pinch and Distance running their own labels...

[joeki]

There's a third deleted scenes in the making, no idea wich tunes but it will drop eventually.

[kingGhost]

[deamonds]

shelflife
DPR recordings
Road
SOULJA
Locked On
tempa

[mortalgrey]

depends if you mean influential and good or just influential

circus records has been pretty influential in the filth scene...

Rottun & Shift should be mentioned here as well, I think.

[Basic A]

Am I supposed to answer this as in who influences me as a producer/dj or who influenced shit to develop to wherre it is today?

If me personally :

DMZ, followed by Hyperdub, then tempa, and finally dub police... Id start to include dnb labels n stuff but this is dsf...

If the scene how it is now...

rottun, dub police, circus.... ect...

THIS!!

but whilst buying buy on sight (they are working on release 3 now i believe) unfortunately just a side project so I doubt there will be any real volume from it with both Pinch and Distance running their own labels...

this is also what makes the fascination about it...when i saw dls002 out my heart went boom like when i´m in love before i even heard it..but thats worth an own dls appreciation thread, going offtopic here

[murky21]

ayo hold up.

is loefah actually making non-dubstep stuff recently?

i've been out of the loop for like 4 months.

still dubstep based, just pretty house influenced, all good stuff, check his mix for NYC rockers.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/s8d1an

[legend4ry]

Deep Medi, Chestplate, HENCH, Immerse, Random Trio Productions, Tectonic, Southside and early Hyperdub do it for me. Oh and early Tempa

well yeah, but i didn't want this to turn into the usual filth vs everything else argument and have everyone posting the labels that they blame for why dubstep's not what they want it to be

let's try and keep it positive

yeah and fair enough too, suppose it is small minded to only mention the 'good'/ purist labels, on a global basis, labels like rottun probably smash it, you only have to see how many hits the Excision Shambala mix got on here in such a ridiculously short period. Certainly in the UK, Circus have really taken advantage of the popularity of tear out/ jump up/ brostep (whatever) with students and other people new to dubstep and done very well out of it, so well done them. They have a few half decent releases in my opinion (a FEW)

Oh, I'm not knocking those labels at all. I just think that given the current popularity of that style of dubstep (which I actually enjoy, along with many other styles of bass music), you gotta tip your hat to those two labels as being pioneers, and influencing many producers to explore new realms of sound design. Love or hate, it doesn't matter....the were influential to the current trend.
