REKALL WROTE ;n contrast, even the cheesiest of dubstep tunes (those having
more to do with grime/garridge than dub-ness, really) has not yet
illicited the arms-flailing-running-out-of-the-room-screaming
reaction from me, and that's a very good sign.

what u sayin ,grimes cheesy ??lol

hahaha this man's got jokes.

well the stuff more deeply rooted in garridge and less to do with industrial, i mean.
all a bit wobbly, and a big affair when it's played out.
antics, a la reggaeton / mexican television.
all in good fun tho!
i'll take that over god damn vapid fucking 'slam' anyday.

Yea, saw Scumbag throw down a sick ragga set here in CT last night. Here in CT there is a monthly that has been going strong for 2 years, wich I think is a big feat because .... its fucking Connecticut.

Me and one of the original crew members are going to start throwing down dubstep at the events.

I think ragga and dubstep go hand in hand.

half of dancehall and dubstep fi sho go hand-in-hand. shared tempo.

Spot on.
I know its been said before but the feel of dubstep sheds new light onto a very dull dnb scene and opens new horizions

Jungle is HEAVY top cat, congo natty etc DRUM N BASE IS SHIT i havnt heard a decent dnb track in a long time, excuding calibre. people are getting onti dubstep because its fresh and hasnt got stale. i just hope it doesnt turn into the next "coffe table" down with the kids dance music that D n B turned into

it won't if we the producers and we the selectors maintain blind faith in the existence of open minds.
we doin' the job so far. let's keep on it.

Junglists aren't GETTING angry.. they already are angry.

They've been angry.

And they need to chill the fuck out.

i agree we all need to dress to the nines and hang out at a strictly upscale house nite for once and get laid.

pity about the music at such cushy spots.
i'd be prone to strangle myself with the nearest rca cable five minutes upon entry.

A mate of mine pointed out the other year that drum'n'bass at its most formulaic sounds like speed metal with samplers, synths and drum machines replacing the traditional instruments (similar chord progression, tempos, military precision, etc).

Seems to me that taking that and applying it to dubstep consequently creates a sort of synthetic doom metal (very slow, very riffy, bass-tweaking taking the place of guitar solos).

Don't know if this is the influence of the d'n'b set, but it seems to me the "step" in earlier dubstep, came from 2-step, and were attempts to introduce more musical, deeper vibes than the blinged up end of garage (although there were some damn good producers and tunes that came from it) but taking the innovations from it on board.

At the end of the day, I liked the more pre-98 dnb/jungle (Remarc, Source Direct, Photek, Rush, etc) as there were more ideas present and a good attitude towards using them, same thing with earlier dubstep. What seems to be happening is that things seem to be moving towards a 70bpm sound that in it's own way is becoming as formulaic as dnb has for the last few years. Dubstep for me works best when it's pushing the soulful, spiritual end of the sound and not just the technical side - when it works best, both are balanced in the music.

Having said that, enjoy what you enjoy, it'd be a very boring world if there was only one point of view. Congo Natty rule though!!

Dubstep as an 'urban' doom metal? I like that comparison. Imagine Sunn o))) at a dubstep night
