what sucks is when people try to copy Datsik to an extreme amount.
talk about boring ryhtyms! these datsik posers are a joke.
seckle is correct, everyone just wants attention, the biggest problem is COPYCAT shit.
i hate when i hear a sick intro and then the drop is like the exact same tough guy rhythm as every other formula-based tune.
take the first 4 bars of a drop,
3 bars repeated and then on the 4th bar staccato the 2 3 and 4 beat of the last measure.
CORNY CORNY shit!!
i got into dubstep cuz the rhythms on the drops would blow my mind cuz i didnt see shit coming.
nothing more i hate than datsik posers
BE ORIGINAL, come from the heart, have a purpose behind your music.
yargh.
that being said,
i dont think "Hardstyle" is a bad way to describe harder dubstep.
richie august is original as hell, his synths sound fucking awesome! but i dont want his tunes to be degraded by people posing his sound.
personally i LOVE heavy heavy shit, because i WAS into grindcore type shit, and still do love it, and also because it sounds SICK on a soundsystem.
it is hard to switch between dubstep styles tho when mixing, you have to find very creative solutions.
and another thing, radio is so much different than playing out its not even funny.
@yong - stop being a weiner about it tho would ya? yeesh.

you sound like a pansy no offense.
i think people need to do a lot of old interview reading on the net, have a knowledge about where this sound came from, who created it, what the ethics were etc.
and i think mala still says it best when he says each artists, each soundsystem should be judged on its own merits eg. DMZ Sound, Yong Sound, Richie August Sound, ABZ Sound, etc etc etc etc.
i for one appreciate it all.
