@ this thread

Also slanguage: you got it twisted. Its not that we try to "pad our criticism" it's that some of us have been here long enough to know that with 50k members, if everyone moaned about the shit that they hated this place would be a pretty depressing place to be. Instead, some of us ignore the things we hate and show love to the things we love. It's a lifestyle choice really, I simply don't have the time to moan... Time is limited so I try to spend it on things I enjoy

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I know people think that dsf is their soapbox, but for the most part it's rather dreary to read all kinds of crying

Imho

If people who went DMZ weren't feeling what they were playing they should have just walked out, im sure a mass group of people walking out from your set cus of the music youre playing is gonna say alot more than talking shit on the net.

this.
play to the crowd, thats what djs do. Clearly there were people there that liked the music being played, right? so wtf is everyone complaining about?

... if you dont like it, go to room 2? its not that hard.

[chico_red]

How many people are really complaining anyway? 5? 10? In a party that had closer to 2000 people, I really don't think that this is a significant amount. Yes, as I said before, I hated the Datsik tune that he played at the end of his set, but really I don't care... all the other tunes were slammin'!!!

a retweet by skream @Caspadubstep forums are for those who apparently know better, can do better & are better but never seem to do anything about it. couldnt be more true

bullshit. i expect 95% of DJs on this forum could draw a better, more DMZ appropriate set than was played. but they don't have the profile, so aint gonna get booked.

people trying to hush the haters are really underestimating how much DMZ, 'that sound' and the heritage of the event mean to people. that set wouldn't have got this reaction if it was played at any other event in the entire world, which is why people are so much less forgiving. it's like the last bastion of what real dubstep means has been lost to the moshcunts.

I think everyone is entitled to an opinion, I mean this is a 'forum'. The way that opinion is delivered sometimes leaves a lot to be desired though.

Don't agree with the view that most of the people moaning weren't there, or are just cyber warriors. Also don't agree with the 2005 argument, doesn't actually carry any weight.

I think its sad that people like caspa have spat their dummies out over this, as if there was a 10 page thread on how amazing his next release is going to be he wouldn't be saying I hate forums.

It's difficult, end of the day you will never please everyone, skream is entitled to play what he wants, if anything too much hate will just push him into thinking Fuck em and playing more tearout making more tracks with skrillex! (Allegedly). Skream has always been humble enough to post on here, give out freebies by the bucketload, don't alienate him on here.. DZA sums it up, people should have walked out the room if not happy. Dj plays to the crowd.

Did people have a preconception about them playing a different set maybe? Was standard skrenga surely?

Awww Booofuckinhooo Skream & Benga didn't play shitty sub bass and other whale noises all night and actually played what they wanted! DMZ fan boys on this site need 2 fix up and stop moaning imo!

You're the kind of person thats whats wrong with the scene lol.

"shitty sub bass" are u effing mad?

if you don't like sub bass you don't like dubstep so why are you here and since when does your opinion matter?

[murky21]

i skanked my way through Skream and Benga's set as I did for all the other sets, it wasnt my favourite set of the night, but when you are dancing with ur mates at a seriously live dmz, hearing tunes at that volume on that rig, if you can't enjoy yourself then maybe people need to lighten up a bit and stop taking things so seriously...or just head to room two as people have said!
its funny how the "negatives" always get talked about more so than the good, I havent seen any threads posted about how ridiculously sick VIVEK vs Goth-Trad was or any other of the highlights

[brianmaiden]

surely a load of the stuff skream's made is classed as " bro-step " .... should it really be that much of a supprise he played it, ? Is it that he played it in his set or that he played it in his set at a DMZ night, ? Not tooo sure which one people are getting vexed at.

but yeh, id totally suck the last drop from his big veiny.... etc etc

[rob sparx]

Low the hate but, at the same time, take on board all the criticism. It is what shapes us as listners, artists, and bass weight lovers. It helps us to gauge how we are perceived by others and I think it is important (especially if you are selling a product) to understand that.

Big ups Skream I don't hate you. You are one of the reasons I love this music so much. If it wasn't for you the scene would be no where near what it is today. Keep doing what you do bruv and keep making incredible music.

Artists have fukt up their careers trying to cater to criticism, any artist who lets aspiring djs/producers/bloggers influence what they write too much is making a big mistake - inet has made it possible for anyone to get their opinions heard so ppl start thinking their opinions are actually important. For the amount of ppl moaning at a producer/dj to change what they write/play there are likely a lot more would rather they develop what they are doing instead of changing direction.

I'm glad that Skream the biggest contributer to this scene doesn't write off anything midrange/mainstream like some producers as I don't think there is any problem with music being popular or having midrange frequencies to it (any half decent producer should be able to maintain bass weight AND midrange together). Imo a lot of hype music is poorely produced with a tendancy to sound foolish/cheesy BUT it also has a lively energy which is clearly what a lot of ppl are after hence the amount of cringeworthy tunes which are popular. I wish more producers would try to show these kids where they are going wrong by doing their own (more respectable/polished) take on that kind of vibe instead of writing it all off as cack but then I'm not sure whether a lot of them would actually have the musical/production skills to pull it off tbh?

I never got into production to keep things underground anyway and was rave music that first got me into dance music so im glad that kind of vibe is making a comeback, would be nice if things got less cheesy more musical and better produced tho

I'd rather play to a room full of "moshcunts" than miserablecunts any day of the week

[spaniard]

Just wanted to see what all the fuss was about and have to agree with the majority of people saying that the set was hurt. They should be able to take it on the chin really. Allow all the people defending them whats the point. If the set was shit its shit and I have to agree, might as well say the sky aint blue and the grass aint green.

People are pissed cause dmz aint about that style of music otherwise we'd have Doctor P, Datsik, Excision, Flux Pavilion and Cookie Monsta at every dmz.

Would be nice to have neither camp in a rave tbh!

Caspa couldn't wait to get this off his chest, obviously.

Actually bruv DMZ kinda is responsible for that sound... It all started with the LFO which was used in every tune played at DMZ not that many years ago! The hyped reload every track vibe also came directly from the Mass! Is it any wonder its progressed? OMG Progression in production lol, call the 2005 police!

This whole thing is a joke IMO! I mean have any of you ever listened to a Skream or Benga set of late? Are you really that amazed they played popluar music at a popular music night?! Jesus anyone would have though they slaughered a virgin on the decks the way you lot have gone on! Its no wonder he replied like that and its no wondered everyone else did too cos this forum is full of idiots with faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar to much time on their hands and think they know best!

Tell ya what, why dont you buy a PC or Mac, Get Cubase or Logic and you become the next big thing, then you can baste in the glory of your own music

On par as per Rob! Agree!

edit; didn't DMZ start their set with anti-war dub, so stop making war, hate is not cool
<--- this
Do hate whomever threw water over the mixer @ youngsta/KMs set tho, no love for such a person!
