DnB RMX's of Dubstep

rasdisone · Post by **rasdisone** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:59 pm

its amazing how dnb and dubstep are practically brother and sister to each other - just look in the average dubsteppers record crates

and yet the musics themselves are (to me) incompatible, they wouldnt work very well to meld the two together. i mean, theyre both based on (mostly) broken beats and deep grimey subs...
but its not like if you slowed down a dnb record or sped up a dubstep record you would in any way have the other

Think when drum and bass was around 160 and there were some more minimal tunes around it worked fine. Dnb generally has a completely different aesthetic to dubstep though imagine it would be done with as much integrity as Michael Bolton covering Otis Redding (yeah you mulleted pig-fellator, really needed a guitar solo didn't it?)

Yeah I meant modern dnb obviously, I think if jungle was still around you could remix dubstep tunes into that format more successfully.

i think they go together well at a dance. nice contrast.

in seperate rooms obviously.

heh problem is you slow down dnb records you get nu skool breaks
did a mix like that awhile back
128kbps | 37.5 mb | 41:00

1. Cause 4 Concern - Psyke
2. Dylan & Friction - Polluted Soul
3. Fortran - The End Part 2
4. Gridlok - Heatwave
5. Bad Company - Skin Tag
6. Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch - Code
7. Konflict - Beckoning
8. Decoder - dbSFV
9. Noisia - Backdraft
10. Corrupt Souls - Autoerotic

*note this mix is not at Drum And Bass Tempo.
It's detuned down to breaks speed using my
+/- 25% pitch control on my decks, which makes
pitch adjustments a bitch, but lemme know
what you think...

Admittedly when I first heard about it, I had assumed the worst...but was quite presently surprised.
If there were more halftime dnb tunes, I'd prolly start spinning it again. I think it will happen too. Dubstep will undoubtedly influence dnb in a big way.

ok firstly the zinc remix does the original justice in a big way. one of zinc's finest productions to date imo... and it goes OFF in the dance.

secondly there is a fair bit of halftime dnb out there you just need to listen to more dnb.

that's the main problem with dnb - djs just playing the same old shit without giving everything a good listen, so as a result crowds are put off the genre cos all the raves sound the same (except central beatz- check the flyer in my sig...

). AMIT has been on the half-speed tip for TIME - even before dubstep i reckon so u can't say it is a direct influence... plus nuff dnb tunes have half-time grooves in them - think 'reach out' by zinc - how old is that?

some half-time dnb to check out:
dylan & raiden - preacherman
the entire amit back catalogue
kryptic minds & leon switch - minor 9 ep (there's a stormer on that!)

as for more dnb remixes of dubstep... why not? it's more a case of please make some good tunes and less of the nursery rhyme crap that seems to attract all the emos to dnb raves and turn all the old junglists into dubstep heads...

well honestly i hated dubstep when i first heard it then heard vex'd and burial got hooked and now spend more on it then dnb atm
but i can name loads of dnb artists that could do remixes

dj seoul! · Post by **dj seoul!** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:16 am

I force-feed people jungle and dubstep

I think the remixes Zinc did were pretty dope bc it also shows respect. I was pleasantly suprised hearing it out even though they def had a different feel.

Would be hot to hear Shy Fx do a tune and Calibre do a deeeeep tune

deadly_habit · Post by **deadly_habit** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 12:25 am

old shy fx would be ill to hear current nah
personally i'd love to hear current value or panacea remix vex'd
harder dubstep to hardstep dnb
love to hear someone like aphex, venetian snares or shitmat do a boxcutter remix
