Dear Beatport, 1/2 step dnb isn't dubstep. It's dnb

[larspro]

Well I assumed the first few like "Bass Head" by Bassnectar were just innocent mistakes.

i dont get why people group Bassnectar in with dubstep. His music cant really be placed into a single bass music sub- genre. Although he is releasing more tracks around 140 nowadays, anyone who has listened to his earlier music will know that he is genre defying. the man is simply a master of bass

*BREAKING NEWS* Beatport in not giving a fuck about anything unless its your credit card shocker! This has never happened before, so jaws are dropping in disbelief.

juno download is one of my favourite structured mp3 shops, got pretty good categorisation as well as a considerable amount of tunes. Its always going to take a long time to weed through the shit at any download store, because the nature of download means there is a much larger output of material - whilst its nice to think of people running a download shop how one would run an independent record store, as a business prospect it doesnt seem particularly profitable, at least as a standalone thing.

I really like Juno too. I still buy from beatport regularly, they have tons of good music, easy to find too, I also really like the favorites feature, I just dont pay attention the the top downloads.

people lump him in with dubstep because he's shamelessly hopped on the bandwagon despite a few years ago slagging off the entire genre in a very disrespectful way.

that's why.

I buy most of my shit at digital-tunes. Can't go wrong with €1.33 wav files!

Lets not do the whole "Who did half-step first" argument. I think most people doing it these days are waste compared to Amit, who has been doing it forever...

and Digital before him.



(pretty sure photek had some half-steppy stuff in the late 90s too....)

Yeah, 'Into The 90s' from Photek's Stone Cold Killa EP is "half-step", and that's from 1994.

But all sensible people know that that is just an element of d&b, "Drum-step" is just people over defining things. as per.

You've sparked my interest...What did he say? Is there some message board thread or whatever that you could cite?

This! Digital-Tunes is my retailer of choice any day of the week because the wavs cost the same as mp3s. No wav price gouging like Juno, or lack of wav and sometimes lack of hi-fi digital altogether like Boomkat. (Can't be arsed with FLAC, either)

Yep. Also, convert wav to Apple Lossless for smaller file sizes, album art and lyrics data FTW!
