First ever go at Dubstep - Along the right lines?? MPC2000xl

Ok, so I'm pure noob, had my first proper exposure to Dubstep at the Big chill of all places!! (Skream smashed it!!)
Have been producing hobby Hip Hop for a few while now on an MPC2000xl, and I've always had loads of soft synths for Cubase that I never used, so I though I'd give it a go.

Everything was sequenced by the MPC and the mixdown was recorded live (live mutes n stuff) into cubase.
Is it Dubstep?? Does it work?

sounds like dubstep to me. very monotonous though, change the loops up a bit! it works, but its on the musical equivalent of minimum wage. certainly not bad for your first try though

Hmmm... I quite like the apache manipulation, but I'm not sure how well it fits with the dubstep feel.

I thought the sustained wobble was a bit boring and there wasn't really much space or atmosphere or vibe. On the other hand, I've got a bit of an anti-wobble pro-space/atmosphere/vibe bias so you might take that with a pinch of salt.
