Question for the converts from D&B.....

[frodo]

I would love it if Kemal converted, but it will never happen.....

Yup.

He recently released an album with his ethnic world music band. I've always meant to check it out.

you wot twisted ?

[deadly_habit]

..... do you think Kemal (Konflict) should convert to Dubstep? Word I've heard is that he's quit D&B as he feels its intentions don't fit with his Islamic faith- and let's face it, he was a pretty evil producer

But there's strong representation & musical tradition in Dubstep from the Muslim community, and if what I was told is true it seems a shame that he can't find an outlet for his talent- especially since he was well on his way here with the deep, epic, worldly half-step sounds of Glimpse of Truth & Stranded.

kemal is doing non electronic music now and its ill

After all that I ended up having a conversation with him on MySpace- he asked for some examples of Dubstep he might like so I pointed him to the more worldly-influenced tracks like Pinch's Alien Tongue & Qawwali, Luke Envoy, Distance's early Hindustani-sampling affairs, L-Wiz, Geiom & Gravious.....

i'm sure he's interested with whats going on
but i'm sure tons of dnb fanboys have found and bugged him on myspaz telling him zomg we need more dnb wheres kemal/konflict etc
or your new music sux needs more dnb
etc
get what im saying
man quit edm for a reason to pursue his true passion
if he wants to come back cool
shit doesnt need to be forced

Mayhem is definitely killing it! i'm really feeling Punks by Juju & some of Skynet's stuff as well. i've heard some rumors of some other dnb producers doing dubstep... i'm definitely anxious to hear some of them (such as SPL).

[ruckspin]

konflict were heavy.
kemal put out some wicked stuff since too, and i heard rob data has become a postman now or something...

makes me sad that such great producers turn their backs on things just cos a lot of dnb these days has lost the soul it used to have. the big tunes have lost it, the crowds have lost it, but it's still there in some places u just have to dig deep...

Holy Shit the lineup on your flyer/signature just made me nut
