GetDarker Presents This Is Dubstep 2012

[Sexual_Chocolate]

Respect for what hes doing but it cleary isnt working.

r u dum?

theyre acheiving sales.... so something is working

[JBoy]

^Yeah but the main thing theyre after is exposing a different side of dubstep and is that actually happening?

Now crawl back under your stone.

[Sexual_Chocolate]

well.... could you please explain how you know whether its working or not?

have you asked everyone whos purchased the cd or are you making just an assumption? (like you usually do)

[Liam92]

Think it's a really good CD, in my iTunes, I got 22/40 tracks, not all just the deeper tracks. There's really good tear-out on it, Taking Over by Benny Page is a quality tune. The best one yet and a pretty decent mix of both sides of the spectrum imo

It's definitely working, I can vouch for that.

I first exposed to dubstep after hearing Skream's remix of In For The Kill by La Roux. I wasn't really into music of any genre at the time, I had other interests and I had never really encountered anything that tickled my fancy. Skream managed to capture my attention and I became aware of the word 'dubstep', however I didn't really have any notion of its meaning. Although the seed had been sown, It had not really been cultivated.

This is where GetDarker comes in. I bought 'This Is Dubstep Vol.3' (probably in HMV or one of the big mainstream record shops) on a bit of a whim. I saw Skream featured in the track listing, alongside other tracks I liked, and still do like now (Free Stylers - Cracks Flux Pavilion remix; Example - Kickstarts Bar9 remix; DJ Fresh - Gold Dust Flux Pavilion remix ect ect), to see what dubstep had to offer. The compilation also featured the likes of Distance, Cyrus, Breakage, Kryptic Minds, Plastician, Digital Mystikz, Tunnidge ect. I played the CD through a few times (without skipping tracks) and the rest is history really, I was hooked.

After that I started working backwards, listening to heavier sound that I've now come to know as dubstep. Bought Skream! one of my favourite albums of all time. Bought a Rega P3 and hooked it up to the hifi, started buying silly amounts vinyl. Told my mates about it, started to get them interested. Joined this very not long ago do try and discover new music. And in the culmination of it all I've just bought tickets to the Exodus/DMZ night in Leeds this Saturday in order to experience dubstep the way it was intended for the very first time.

So, massive thanks to darkside and all of the GetDarker crew! I highly doubt I would be where I am today without them.

[Sonika]

Yeah that's just one of many examples I would definitely say it's working.
Jboy, I'm wondering if you would like to back up your "it's not working" claim with some hard evidence?

[garethom]

I'm not taking sides here, but usually when there's this sort of discussion, one person comes in and says "I FOUND THA DEEP TUNES FROM LISTNIN TO THA BRO TUNES" and everyone busts a nut. Those people are probably 1 in a 1000

I'm always really surprised when I catch Goth Trad playing on Channel 4 though!

[Sonika]

No I know at least 3 kids who found deep dubstep by themselves, through some medium, and they were hooked...it happens

Of course it happens. All of us here had to discover the music and decide we like it at some point.

My point was that people shouldn't kid themselves into thinking that there's gonna be some sort of large scale conversion just because 1 CD came out with a varied tracklist.

Don't see why so many people are bothered about what other people are listening too anyway.

[Sonika]

Fair enough, I just think its great that a CD that will probably get a lot of attention has so many deep tracks on it, because a lot of people may find a side of the genre they never knew about before.

That last sentence is gold by the way. Coulnt agree more.

[Pistonsbeneath]

fact is the deep stuff is bigger than its ever been just there are way more people listening overall

i got chatting to two lads in my local post office/shop that worked there as i was buying the wire and mixmag (i do this to get a balance lol) and they asked me if i djd and i just said the d word and surprisingly they were both into kryptic minds and dmz and they hated borgore

again its an isolated incident but its good

i work for hmv and push the get darker cds heavily on people and believe it or not we sell a fair portion of deep stuff as well

i run tech there and have my ipod on me and various docks inc harmon kardon ones for £300 and i usually show kids the deep stuff and often they ask what cds to buy and i show them

out to lee, ashley, cyrus, lost and bo and the other folks that run get darker i feel they provide an essential service and the this is dubstep cds are no exception

i tell you what i do find odd and i think you may be missing out a bit darkside is integrating the cds and get darker tv more

heres hoping i can get a tune on the next one

I think with a lot of casual listeners, it's just a lack of exposure. For the people that just listen to whatever the radio's playing, I reckon if there was some deeper stuff playing, they'd appreciate it just as much.

I honestly think, with a bit more exposure, albums like Rustie - Glass Swords would've bothering the top of the charts.

[mIrReN]

if their radios would ave huge subs yes


'bout this thread; big up GD each and fucking every

I'd tend to agree

To be fair, a lot of cars have "decent" (enough to feel the sub in) speakers anyway. Wouldn't be an issue in cars.

[mIrReN]

I know, but most ppl don't work in em so

just checked tl and lol wtf u guys on about?

[Maccaveli]

just checked tl and lol wtf u guys on about?

I know, right? Its pure dubstep with a helping of bro on the side

[JBoy]

Some serious back patting in this thread.

[Sonika]

or hmmm maybe we actually just share the same opinions! what a concept
