New to Dubstep... Please Help

strategy · Post by **strategy** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 3:28 pm

I've been drum n bass for years and know where to buy it, but dubstep is new to me. I've got the Skream album and a few bits on Tempa, but if
some one can give me a list of 10-20 essential tunes I should get on vinyl which i can still buy online on a site like juno or redeye records.
Much obliged.

Ralph

Hmm, thats hard to say to be honest. Most of the tunes i would consider 'essentials' in my collection you cant get hold of new anymore, just have to keep a look out on ebay etc.

However, the dmz label is currently in the middle of repressing a load of their back catalogue, and pretty much every piece of wax they make is essential. And similarly skull disco releases are ALWAYS a treat, and 3,4,5 and 6 are all available atm i think.

Look for the deep medi musik label aswell, some fairly essential ones on them, but again most are sold out.

top selling is a bad reference for quality.

I would find it hard to do a list of 10 tracks to be honest mate, i just know theres not alot of shit tracks, if i could i would buy pretty much most dubstep

alot of d1's stuff, pitch black label, mathhead, elemental, burial, alot of planet mu stuff, but to be honest, these are just labels n people i love. dunno about essentials. sorry.

and still, the list goes on and on.

your best off just buying all the dubstep allstars cd's and trawling through the internet and this forum. alot of homework, but well worth it.

dont always look for the essentials go through websites looking for stuff that you really like good place to start is the mix section, then go through websites and record shops looking for the vinyl you want

I'd say start with the big labels like Tempa, Planet Mu, DMZ, Storming etc, and figure out what artists you like and then find their releases on other labels. Then listen to that label's other releases and so on. Just keep branching out like that and I'm sure you'll have no trouble wondering where the hell all your money went

if you want to be *gasp!* original, then buy what you like. and go from there. theres a reason that the most popular tunes are selling so well. their the most popular. people like them. chances are you will too, and you will buy them

How about digital Dubstep? Can anyone reccomend a site to peep/purchase mp3's? I'm not asking for any pirated music, I want to pay for them legally. I have been using ableton live and I am looking for some fire tracks to download.

bleep is good from what ive been told. not got my cd deck yet though, so the only dubstep mp3's ive got are the ones offered from this website. and very good they are too.

bleep is AWESOME. some of the stuff is older, but they have a lot of label back catalogues that are full of tasties. check hotflush in particular, they've got a lot.

try reading the sticky thread at the top of this forum, all the links are there for the new heads so you don't need to ask.
