First time I listened to Dubstep (live), I was on a LSD+MDMA+K trip.
It totally blew me away. That night, I felt in love with Dubstep.
Then, I heard Skream play at Shambhala while I was on a Ketaflip (MDMA+K). It just felt like I knew this sound. As if all my life I had been waiting for this wild, yet very mechanical and alien sound.
I believe each drug has a genre of music that it fits perfectly with.
-LSD and Psilocybin mushrooms definitely fit perfectly with smooth psychedelic stuff like Psybient (psy-ambient), Ambient and Psychedelic rock.
-MDMA is the perfect drug for Goa, Ambient and their derivates (Psybient, Psytrance, Trance, Ethno-tech)
-Coke, Speed, and other evil stimulants (lol) are awesome with speedy trash music like Breakcore, Hardcore, Speedcore, Doomcore and all others "core".
-Opiates....never tried.....but I guess that the Velvet Underground and other drone music would be delicious.
-As for K...It is perfect with Dubstep. The heaviness of ketamine is magic with sub-bass. The dissociation that it gives fit perfectly with the dark, mechanical feeling of the music. And the psychedelic neon-like effects of the drug fits perfectly with the alien feeling of Dubstep. In fact, I find that Dubstep is the exact same feeling that Ketamine gives: A tension between wilderness and mechanization, a tension between being hollow and being holy. Ketamine is a technological drug....Dubstep is technological music.
When I'm listening to Dubstep on K, I "know" that the DJ/producer is simply a tool in the hands of entities from the "other side". This music doesn't have anything human does it?
To me, dancing on Ket with Dubstep is kinda like accepting my dark side. It's very melancholic....accepting the concept that life is non-sense, accepting the void. There's a quote from fight club that describe exactly what I'm trying to say:
"Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom."
In fact, I believe so much that Dubstep is the same feeling as Ketamine that when I discovered this genre of music, I was sure that it was a musical interpretation of this drug (dissociative music, instead of psychedelic music).
"I am getting so far out one day I won't come back at all."
