Brostep / Skrillex and the Forum.

[Suangi]

what happened to B, Se7en, and SES? I only like tru oldschool K-pop, brah. Crying Nut or whatever they were called were cool too.

[Clean]

Am i the only one annoyed at how lame some Brostep names are?

For example:

Zed's Dead = Zed Bias is Dead

Chasing Shadows = Chase & Status

Whenever i hear the names of these guys, i wanna punch a UKF listener in the face.

How did you forget

Zomby= zomboy

The worst one is that guy/group/thing Klaypex that popped up not long after Skrillex blew up

Come on, really?

I've been thinking, a lot of us here on this forum have a few tracks or artists that are considered brostep that we like anyway. Trolley Snatcha - The Future, Datsik - Jenova Project and a few Bar9 and 16BIT tunes come to mind. For those of you to whom this applies, care to share your reasons?

I for one love Chasing Shadows. They have actual sub bass (and lots of it), they have atmosphere and soul in their tunes and most of their music is done with a class and attention to detail missing from most brostep. I think they're one of the best artists to walk the line between both sides of the argument. They were also my first real exposure to any kind of dubstep before I first heard Skream and Benga

I was actually talking about this with a friend of mine earlier in the week, trying to pinpoint what kinda went awry with the sound. I personally enjoy some of the early Rottun releases and Excision's EP on Paradise Lost, it seems early on there was some level of self-restraint with the producers that actually gave a track a steady flow instead of just blatantly trying to rip your head off with a drop (and no substance whatsoever afterwards). Have no idea what caused that self-restraint to dissipate...ppl probably saw the number of youtube hits of Borgore's Guided Relaxation and wanted a piece of that action. Comparing some of those early Rottun stuff to the latter releases is just like comparing apples and oranges IMO, really dug the Pressure Chamber, Sinister Souls, and a few of those Launch releases. Id be hesitant as well to call any of those early releases your standard brostep.

Personally I just want to say that I hate skrillex. I hate skrillex but not because he's a bro or a homophobe. or a bitch ass trick - I just hate him because he looks like a little bitch. His fucking hair screams homophobe., he smokes cigarattes all the time because he's too worried on stage that he can't play his homophobe. music live, he dies his hair black because he wants to look some homophobe. way, and generally has this air of superiority for no reason besides being a the biggest homophobe. in his world. I'm pretty sure it's not because he is a homophobe. though, but because he is a bitch. Yup one of those "I am so cool" bitches.

And deadmau5? Well shit that bitch has some talent for sure, and as long as he doesn't go all homophobe.-guetta on the industry than he can be cool.

But that skrillex fuck? He's a total bitch and doesn't deserve the recognition he gets. I swear if it wasn't for all the god damn disconnected mother fuckers from Nevada or Kansas, or whatever butt-fuck-unconnected-god-forsaken land where they don't have real electronic music he would be a mother fucking nobody. Because seriously who the fuck says "I want an album with an amalgamation of a thousand cocks oscillating the waves with some retarded LFO at every break beat. Oh time change? Wobble. Oh this melody needs something? High pitched wobble." Wobble my fucking dick on your face bitch.

Dubstep? This bitch makes his music with all mids, there's barely any bass there worth a damn. Mother fucking homophobe. getting my dirty dub fuckin' mixed in with this mid-high lemon party bullshit.

And all these other comments? pure bullshit. fuck you dubstep ron paul pot smoking homophobe..

I was a fan of dubstep back in the days when Skream, Caspa, Benga etc were at the forefront. Skrillex is the biggest cigarette I've ever laid eyes on, forget his music for a second. He looks like the mutated ass-baby of AIDS infected paedophiles. Fuck that tnuc.

The bro-steppers produce garbage. No question. However, peeps like Burial and James Blake are truly spectacular musicians. The "true" dubstep artists are leaps and bounds beyond these guys. It's pretty much the same as any musical genre. There's a whole bunch of no-talent crap, then really great stuff which is lesser known.

might be the best thing i've seen on reddit

skrillex dubstep is fucking gay and if you like that shit fuck you, faggets

[cmgoodman1226]

Typhoon is huge. That's the one i still love, has a certain atmosphere to it. Not really feeling the other stuff anymore tho, 'specially after seeing CS last year... 2 hours of flux pavilion, noisia remixes etc

Yeah I had a feeling they'd be heading in that direction these days

Ah well, their Hench tunes and some of their 2009-2010 remixes are still pretty much the only brostep tunes that I'd put in the same league as my favourite dubstep tunes

I love Chasing shadows but imo they ruined that spor song for me. I understand most people don't like that "fart bass" but the sounds and melodies he creates in that track are outstanding. Kito & reija lee's remix is really good though.


@ ultraspatial: you like chasing shadow's but not noisia's dubstep? I mean I get how they're different but noisia's dubstep is so heavily influenced by that same style of reese. And noisia's new stuff with phace is just as good as any imo.

Hey everyone!

First of all I want to apologize for my bad use of the english language but I hope you understand the most I want to write

I´m a dubstep listener, producer since one year now and I also think about the chaning of the genre. The first time I heard of dubstep was when I visited a concert of Kryptic Minds in my hometown. I was just impressed in every way. For me Dubstep always was something dark, slightly scary and deep. But now everything seems to sound agressive, compressed till death and like there are just kids playing around with FL studio and Massive I mean I´m not a very good dubstep producer myself but I think the sound I make could be called Dubstep. But what about 90% of UKF´s uploads? Is this actually dubstep ?! I simply hope that masterclass producers as Affe Maria, Coffi and Kryptic Minds go on producing what´s supposed to be the "true, grimey dubstep"..

Now I want to ask you about your opinion of the change of this genre cause everytime I visit a "dubstep"- event it´s just getting higher, faster and more stressful in every way. Please tell me what you think about it!

greeings from Austria and have a nice day,
and maybe check out my latest track. It´s a remix I made for a progressive Rock band !

[Electric_Head]

not this old argument

Hey all!

First of all I want to apologize for the bad use of the english language

I´m a dubstep fan and producer for a year now and I´m really wondering about the drastic change of the genre. The first time I heard dubstep was on a kryptic minds event in my hometown. It was simply awesome! THAT was dubstep for me and now if you hear all the tracks UKF is uploading and the events here has hardly anything to do with dubstep in my opinion. But what do you think!? Dubstep always had someting dark, slightly scary and deep on it and now its just high pitched screaming and filter-madness. I mean there are lots of masterclass dubstep producers such as Kryptic Minds, Coffi and Affe Maria.. I´ve read a top comment on a Gemini track which was "Brostep is dying!" and I´m wondering if that´s true. In my opinion Dubstep is dying. As long as there are true old skool producers who make our hearts go booom everything seems to be alright or not? But I think people should be more carefull with describing music as dubstep cause the most tracks released nowadays are simply downtempo-breakbeat-elektro whatever..

have a nice day and thank you for reading and maybe check out my track below. Would be cool if you´d give some feedback

[AJP UK]

I don't like CS that much, just that one tune really, the others I find ok but that's about it.
Also, same influences doesn't mean you get the same sound. And I used to love older Noisia but now they're just generic, pretty much going for the same sound as any other "dubstep" artist on mau5trap. Phace & Misanthrop are still badmans though, as long as they stick to their thing it's all good.
