too right

so assuming this is actually a thread about stuf from the indian subcontinent, not arabic stuf...

check 1st tune. not dubstep, but a kind of grime/desi crossover

and the stuf on the cyrus LP is exactly what i meant by kebabshop influence. a tired, uninformed pastiche of 'ethnic' music. dont mean 2b so offensive cyrus, not a critique of yr musical talents, just think ppl shud stick to what they know, or at least get to know well b4 hand

Wat a fuckin mug.
The people with the biggest mouths always have the least to say.
Im not being funny but ur rhythems arnt exactly dubplate material.

dont take that crap from him cyrus! should only black people use influence from dub? Nah.

people can and should use influence from whatever cultures they want. and the more they do, the more different cultures have common ground, understanding and tolerance.

Plus Indian Stomp is a sick tune, part indian-influenced, part dubstep, ex-garage, dub bass... but yet far greater than the sum of its parts.

the Digital Mystikz anthem 'Earth a Run Red' snatches that snippet of Ritchie Spice's roots classic, stripping away the rest of his conscious poetry. The second Dub Police 12" contains a handful of standard dancehall hype samples -- all serving as surface gloss to contextualize it as dub, soundclash, virile macho, whatever fantasy patois boasts alight in the collective imagination of their target audience. I could go on; these are just 2 examples among many. There is no agency, the black voice is used as spice... These structural cliches bore me in breakcore, and they bore in me dubstep. Wiley isn't boring, even when he's examining boredom (ennui, wot u call it?)

- Rupture

Seems relevent...

I agree with Chef and Kirk
anyone can use any flavours if it works

Yeah Cy, ....having tracks feature in a blockbuster film is definately not the way to go. As for albums etc...nah dont do a 2nd, stick to rolling out TDK tapes and putting clips on myspace!

What a dilute comment about Indian Stomp.....Stupid Boy!

Big up Cyrus

Found this one a while back which was pretty nice. Japanese 7" only so a bit pricey but good tunes
