NYC needs more dubstep

[tacospheros]

Falty DL/ikonika/Jakwob show didnt even get posted on here and there's a few hundred people. sick spot too

so true. that new venue inside hudson hotel is sick!!!. i was onstage with faltydl, and the subs were so loud that we could barely have a conversation. if you want a benchmark for a subbass soundsystem built to handle dubstep properly in NYC, its good units /hudson hotel right now. hands down. i was blown away.

sickest i've heard in a long time. and i was very surprised to hear Jakwob play some earlier dubstep. nice to see kids rocking out to filth and then have some 2005 shit dropped in the mix

[spek lives]

District 36 has sick sound, but im not too crazy about the venue itself.

There are a ridiculous amount of bass music parties in nyc now. OP needs to dig a little.

i was very skeptical regarding this post from the title alone, seeing as twissup, VON D , and unsound all are on my mind in the coming weeks.
But then he goes to make a reference to seeing a tier 2 electronic jam band named lotus, which is the epitome of mediocrity. just a hunch but i feel the OP is looking for the heavy side of things, and NYC DOES NOT cater to them to much. dig around, or just learn to like better music.

Did someone say Von D is happening somwhere in NYC or did that happen?

Also as others say, get subs...
Honestly (on a more upbeat note) I wouldn't mind playing (having trouble finding nyc gigs) but I would not play filth really

@decree yes i did say that! FUCK FUCK. sorry im a bit spastic regarding this, because i have been wanting to see VON D for a very long time now, and because this is a BRAND new event that either just got announced or there has been literally NO promotion for it, i have already planned a full fledged night out @goodunits for wolf & lamb vs soul clap. tickets purchased, crash spot planned, non - dubstep heads invited. so im just going to have to pretend i dont know about this.

Your view of the scene here is mad twisted.

Broaden your horizons a little maybe?

[koro inu]

well we plan to hit new york again soon. went on our honeymoon. i'd move to brooklyn in a heartbeat.

(hello jody - i's clodhoppa)

will have to hit people up for a night out when we do, unless you're in 'the know' it's hard to find stuff. maybe that's what the OP meant. and yes, i am a tourist

[edgecom]

why do you think i need to broaden my horizons? (im not being defensive im honestly intrigued) i was simply implying that the OP needs to broaden his horizons because he is making a subjective statement that is false. NYC has plenty of high quality bass related music going on every week. yes my comment regarding his comment about LOTUS was unnecessary, but if someone is on here blabbing about something foolish, and he ends his remarks with whos going to a lotus show, i cant help but stereotype him because 9/10 people that like that band are uneducated mainstream music listeners with no taste. and people like that would make post on here saying, there is no bass music in nYC>

[hellfire machina]

It was more your statement of people not liking the heavy end of things here. NYC is one of the handful of cities in the states that has a very varied scene. And your inference that if the op is looking for the harder end of things he should get better taste in music.


I can't stand elitism, but I should know better than to rise to it.


as you were...

Edgecom, i challenge you to find me a better live drummer in the scene than Mike Greenfield from Lotus. He filled in on tour with disco biscuits while their drummer had the flu and you would never have known that he was not their main drummer

Lotus at terminal 5 was great. I happen to have a very diverse taste in music and I listen to just about everything except for nashville country music. The point of my thread though was that NYC needs more Dubstep shows to EXPAND as a genre of music and make it more mainstream. This will get larger clubs with better systems involved, and ultimately get better dubstep artists interested in coming to NYC to perform. Underground shows only go so far and sometimes you have to wade through a bunch of shitty "producers" before you find a true artist in the genre.

I've since talked to the manager of the venue, and he tells me they have made some improvements to the system there, lots of rewiring, added more speakers, monitors and shit for bands. So it looks like they are spending money. I will drop some hints about subs and see what he wants to do. If he really wants to bring dubstep to the Lower east side, we will make it happen.
