listened to the mix and tried to maybe change my mind about KM, but I still think it suffers from wannabe-dark neuro bassline syndrome. then there's the pleasant but ultimately shallow ambient moments. pass.

...fuck the pre millenium d'n'b influence and the techno influence. People need to get back to the roots and make more breaks and garage style beats or we'll get swamped 81 times in halfstep wobbleclones or worse, 4 on the floor techno inspired dubstep like what scubas doing recently that just sucks arse

But if everyone did that i bet you'd be like fuck sake it's all garage/breaks clones. Variety is the spice of life. Too much of anything is gonna get tiring. Personally I think techno influenced stuff is great.

people don't need to do anything, it'd just be nicer for you if they did.

i pity the fools who in retrospect are only recently discovering 2 step and garage breaks, who never heard the sound develop in real time, who read wiki and believe its gospel, who were too busy listening to shit d'n'b long after the conscious had abandoned it to the technoids and beat zombies...

and blackdown, you remind me of an embedded journalist working for fox media if dubstep were the iraq war. Manufacturing the news from one side and spinning it to suit your own agenda. Even to the point of baiting your subjects to say controversial shit to defend their differing opinions then switching to different subjects so they dont get to elucidate further such that when taken out of context, their soundbites can be totally misleading

the thing that cracks me up the most tho is you think you're an equal in the game but you're not. In many ways you're privileged and no matter how street you think you are you just aint. You'd be better off reporting unbiasedly on the state of dubstep in all its glory or shame and leaving the producing to people who actually have something worth saying in their music...

...in my oh so humble opinion

At the risk of sounding crass......your a complete and utter tool

yeah my beef was with the hype surrounding it - not the music or blackdown at all.

Nar it's not that. Everyone been banging out the remix record long time before Loefah's label got behind 'em and that newer record on Loefah's record is sick regardless of the label. Proper headbang the speaker stack business

actually nah...

...if more producers reinterpreted/evolved garage/breaks i'd be happy as all fuck

and if blackdown got off digital mystikz and kode 9's dick and everyone else they hand pick for a short trip to cliquesville for one sec and wrote about stuff going on in the wider dubstep sphere i'd be positively ecstatic...

Do you ever read his blog? To be fair he informatively covers more musical ground than most, i.e. he doesn't make shit up about what he doesn't know...like Simon Reynolds these days for instance.

yet again all you seem to do is bitch about other people, this whole thread is about you bitching. pointless......

absolutely incredible interview and mix. towering respect to blackdown for taking the time to share it online. so many interesting and insightful bits put forward.

the last two Kryptic Minds releases have pushed all the right buttons for me. i seriously don't understand some of the views put forward in this thread. the production values that are being brought to the table in these tunes are nothing short of epic.

and mad kudos out to loefah. he has always been one of the most humble dudes in the scene with nothing but integrity and passion for what he's doing. an absolute pleasure to host when he was in australia last year.

i hope swamp 81 goes on to achieve massive tings!

mate if anyone has actively been tryin to push the garage thing back into the wider dubstep ear the past couple years it's blackdown, if you havent realised this more the fool you.

you just tryin to bait him with yr troll bs.

spiderman · Post by **spiderman** » Tue May 19, 2009 9:37 am

beatlejuice why dont u stop listenin to this and other kind of dubstep you dont like, and go off and make some garage & breaks influenced dubstep...

maybe then you would be happier insted of pissing and moaning on here and you would be doing something positive.
