Dubstep with actual instruments in it

Post by SpacedMan » Fri Oct 11, 2013 7:32 am

Recently I have discovered this artist named Squarepusher. I really like his stuff; he is an artist that doesn't limit himself to one particular type of music, and he manages to do all of his attempts at different genres well (to my ears.) One thing about him that stood out to me in particular is the fact that he uses an actual bass guitar in his music. That is something I've never heard done in electronic music before. Here's some examples:






What I'm wondering is if the people in this forum have ever heard of a dubstep artist or even an individual dubstep song that features original real instrumentals like this.

People here will be able to name hundreds, but I'll just leave you with one of my favourite bands, Submotion Orchestra:

why does it have to be dubstep?

i guess sampling records counts as real instruments or does it? lol

jazzteppa comes to my mind but i dont know if they're more of a live act rather than a recording artists. dunno really

Are drum machines and synthesizers not actual instruments?
