New approach to dubstep?

Post by nekkroteukh » Thu Oct 23, 2008 1:08 pm

Bless

I've been trying out a new approach to dubstep with more emphasis on groove and less on dirtyness and wobbly basslines. There are still plenty of bass though, and the inspiration from dub, but also from psytrance and minimal. And at last there's a buttload of percussion and shakers!

Go ahead and listen to the songs on Virb, and remember that the second drop is always best :-)

-Feedback, criticism, flaming, exaltation... any words are welcomed.

If you want 320's for mixing, cutting or whatever, let me know :-)

Also, should I change my name from Nekkroteukh to Nekrotekh? People keep telling me they can't spell Nekkroteukh... No wonder.

very shpongly sounding with quality production work 8)

i mix shpongle in my dubstep sets sometimes actually

i enjoyed all four of your tracks up there. and i do agree that dubstep needs more flair in the percussion side of things, it is certainly refreshing to hear something aside from the "classic" (one may also say...generic?) minimalist dubstep rhythm. at the same time, i do thoroughly enjoy the deliberate grinding half step with a heavy synthline any time of the day :lol: to me, "gateways" seemed like your most dubstep influenced track

good work!

Too few do! Have you got any mixes lying around? I'd like to hear some more experimental dubstep dj'ing.
And thanks a whole lot for the serious feedback!

Gateways is also the earliest track track of the four, so you can guess which way I'm moving :-)

It's not that I don't like "generic" or "normal" dubstep, I love it. I'm just not good enough at it. I can't compete with Rusko's wobbles. Also, it's fun to hear at parties and raves on a big fucking system, but when it comes to producing I like the more dark, groovy and progressive side of dubstep better.

Very refreshing, sometimes it's not about sick wobbles. Oh and keep your name, you shouldn't change because people are stupid or won't take the time.

I love it when someone takes the sound and does what they feel it should sound like, results are amazing. Its refreshing to hear someone who doesnt just stick to the basic boundries we are used to hearing.
Nice production

Would love a 320 of them all mate if thats possible???

The production and attentions to detail on you track is off the hook. I love your drums in all your tracks.

Its always good to hear something a bit different.

Keep them rolling.

cool stuff, it'd be nice to hear at a rave perhaps intertwined with house and techno, or earlier in the night when no one's really warmed up enough for big wobbly ones. liking the psyish elements too!

Feeling this a lot my man, kind of stuff that would fit in an Appleblim set any day! Great approach to dubstep - thank god for people like you keeping this fresh music even fresher - 320's would be killer as well if possible
