Easy one and all!

Im a Sussex lad, been browsing on here for a LONG time :| Its about time I started contributing.

Seems I'm from a similar musical background as some of you. I started off listening to the pirates early nineties. Dream, Transmission, Scandal, etc. Loved my old hardcore then it went to cheesy! Made the change to DnB about '95/96. In about 2000 and something I lost interest in DnB. Seemed to lose its way for me...Anyway had a couple of years feeling lost, not really feeling much then I found Dubstep! My inspiration has been restored. I'm well into it now, love it.
Have been a bedroom DJ for about a decade but don't do much of that now, I mainly produce, have been producing for about five years. Just started a Dubstep album.

Anyway, catch you later :wink:

Hi folks,

I'm from Edinburgh, and I've been having a bit of a lurk around here for a little while now, mostly to get mixes!

I've been producing and performing live sets of techno/breaks/electro/dnb/IDM/hardcore/hiphop for the past ten years (jack of all trades etc etc :wink: ) and run a small label called Audiodacity.

Dubstep is really exciting cause to me it represents musical freedom. Its constantly evolving and people don't expect a certain sound/tempo/feel overall, as long as there's plenty bass! You can play with so many directions, and it blends in and out of so many styles like wonky techno, minimal stuff, hiphop, dnb, breaks etc.

I'll be posting up some recent dubstep I've been writing over the next few weeks. It would be great to get some opinions from the heads on here.

In the meantime there's some older warped breaks and techno on my solo myspace -

and weird hiphop and complex lyrical breaks on my collaboration myspace -

Enough plugging now,

hello! :D

hello

i'm here because i like breaks and bass.

i got into stuff like tempa, soulja, texture, ghost around 2001; but then lost touch with it in 2004 when my local record store closed. got back into it a few months ago and have since been buying tunes like a crazy person, despite the fact that i'm currently unemployed. :lol:

my first love is and will always be '92-'93 era hardcore. subbase, shadow, reinforced, all that stuff.

yoyoyo!
i'm from Prague, then montreal, canada, finally Denver USA presently. i'm concerned with the amount of dust accumulating on my dnb vinyl collection. should i rip 'em then store 'em? rip 'em then sell 'em to buy more dubstep? or just store 'em and think about the good 'ole days. its just hard to find a dnb tune that still...you know...does what dubstep does.

anyway...can't get enough...thanks dubstepforum for makin it so accessible.


Also....

Watch for DANK DEALZ, coming soon to www.dubstep.fm

Hello all,

I am new on the forum. I have been vibing on dubstep since about 2003 or so when Kode9 come and toured Sydney (Australia). I think that was the year, Seb+Luke from Frigid/Sub Bass Snarl/Cyro/Cyclic put me onto it and I was hooked as soon as I heard the Stalker/Sine Of The Dub 10" .. then Kode9s set at Frigid at the Hopetoun. I can't even really remember if it was 2003 but it was at the Hopetoun not in Newtown so it must have some years ago now.

Since then I have been following the development via the various internet resources and my expanding credit card debt buying rekkids from Boomkat etc.

Have been browsing for time, figured i should get involved. Dubstep is the first form of electronic dance music i have really felt, grew up listening to Prince, Madness etc, discovered dub and roots reggae about 5 years ago and my life changed. Am addicted to low frequency sound, i am constantly surrounded by indie due to friends etc, seriously appreciate some, find the rest trebly generic pose-wank and keep wondering where the bass is.

Burial by Peter Tosh had this mad effect on me that i didn't feel again til last summer when i first heard 9 Samurai, like wow... this is how music should be. That was when i first realised i loved dubstep. Have yet to reach DMZ/FWD, so still haven't even heard dubstep the way it should be... :oops: Will be 18 soon, so will go when there is no chance of getting turned away.

Don't produce / dj, wish i did, but the equipment etc costs a fuckload and don't wanna find out i am crap at it after blowing my student loan on all the gubbings, but play bass, guitar and melodica, cos they require little patience.

hey every1.
name: rodrigo
country: portugal

Someone told me about this community so here i am, im a beat digger, i started to listen to 2step probably cos im a big fan of dub reggae as well and from that time i kept watching the scene so it came dubstep and grime, and thats actually i really dig, some syncopated beats with heavy basslines always with that dark feeling, my favourite stuff is the 12" out on DMZ produced by Mala, called Left Leg Out & Blue Notez, wicked stuff.
Beside Dubstep and Grime, i do listen to a lot of music ranging from electronic music to trip-hop, many uk garage genres and even a bit of klezmer, music is great!

Hey everyone.

Name : Nick

Location: Detroit, MI USA

I never listened to electronic music (cept for the occational eurodance, freestyle, trance type music that i hear randomly). But i started working at a university about a year ago, and that is all my boss listened to. I started to love it, Especially minimal/ microhouse. He is actually one of the ones who started for35years.com ( a dnb fan site). We started listening to dubstep a little while ago, and I am going nuts for it. it is a rare find here in detroit, but we listen to loetech out of canada all the time. I cant get enough of this stuff. I would like to start making my own tracks, as i have the software (reason, reaktor, etc..). Just need to learn how to use it. I have a garbage dj setup so also looking to upgrade that. But now, teh dubstep is all i listen to and this is why i joined this fine community. Ive come here for multiple mixes and information, and decided to join up. So, hello to you all and long live teh dubstep.
