loving the fact that plaid are playing dubstep!!

i'd never heard the word tautology before - thank you.

Two words: Mbuki Mvuki. Plaid are naturals for dubstep. I bet they properly LOVE it. It's be interesting to know what people like them and Basic Channel really think about it. I wonder if they like the bits we'd expect 'em too or if they're just bass junkies, drinking up the wobblers.

Plaid are good people. At least, they were when I met/chatted with them a few years back.

Dubstep would certainly work with them.

Hey, eDMX and µ-zig have already made dubsteppy bits (eDmz a while back now)

next level.

I saw them almost two years ago and one of them was playing dubstep stuff! You guys are slow on the uptake

(well it was November '05 or something, not quite two years)

As it goes, Plaid asked us to remix their track "Bar Kimura", which they scored for the anime film "Tekkon Kinkreet". You can hear the remix at virb.com/vexd (better quality player), or myspace.com/vexd, should be out in a couple of months.

Big up

saw plaid do a total dubstep set about 3/4 years ago at a party in thetford forest, playin judgement and all that....

Plaid were DJing at the Wang NY'eve warehouse party 2004/2005 and were dropping Vex'd Lion and other similar tunes in the main room. Totally smashed it.

Surgeon (the techno producer) is another one that's been mashing up dubstep into his sets for time.

Not bandwagon business at all, like some of us they probably see dubstep (or some tunes within it) as an extension of good electronic music.

Hat's off to them for breaking the sound to compeletely different dancefloors, opening up new ears.

to clarify- the point of my original post was i saw them live (as opposed to djing) and thy're making their own dubstep beats, as opposed to just spinnin other peoples.

jfyi: the two guys from plaid are not involved in the new incarnation of the black dog.

also: i was gonna go see this set but was chalked in to play a little sidestage at the same time, except it didn't happen cause the dew was causing electrical equipment to do funny things and so i ended up playing to a sunday afternoon handful of people instead.

Yeah I heard about this.

Dubstep was slightly less popular than tranvestitism and Lionel Richie at Besival last year.

Yeah they were doing that in 2005. They've had an album since and it didn't feature any dubstep tho :/

I think the track Super Positions on Greedy Baby sounds particularly influenced by dubstep, although it isn't very close to most dubstep today...
