I'm way too busy writing my illegible signature on dustbins and struggling shop owner's windows to front with the Rasta vibe, yo yo.

hahaha thats great! never seen a shroomoticon before

In the end, it just seems rather unfortunate that dubstep ended up w/ the name that it did, b/c I believe the name itself narrowed the minds of alot of people on what the sound was all about. That really goes for those people that got in to it, and those that ended up hating it.

I guess, ultimately what it's about is expressing *yourself* through the music you make, and not trying to front the vibe of cultures you're really not a part of. Doing that almost always seems to lead to naked inauthenticity.

nailed it ricky

it was the opportunity to not sound like some other scene that brought me to dubstep

8 pages and nobody has mentioned the one basic truth

you can't front a vibe

why not if im atheist but love reggae and dubs "vibes"

If done in an untasteful way I agree, however Dubstep in itself is a combination of Genres & Cultures so its guilty of this by default. Surely its in the way a producer combines these things? I could reel off loads of tunes that use Reggae Samples, Basslines, Riffs, breaks which are fucking tunes but blatantly made by studio tanned white folk.

anyway dubstep is still a way cooler genre name than 2-step

and what ukg tunes even use actual 2-step beats anymore

Its late here, I'm not in the mood for compiling lists tonight but I didn't hear much Halfstep, Polyrythems etc in the Burial album preview

Spot on Ricky. As for Parson's question on 2-step in UKG apparently none. There's more 2 step getting pushed in dubstep at the moment and that's hardly a big movement (oh gotta love the el-b puns)

I'm not a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jew, Mormon, Rasta or a Hindu vibe fronter, but there are two girls walking around naked in the flat opposite my window.
