I guess I'm one of the early ones on this Forum. I was on the 2-Step Message Board/Fourum. Back in 2000. And we had Kode 9 on there. I think we had a minor disagereement with something silly, butit was all good in a day or so. He was an upcoming producer from the UK. One of the only from the Uk on the Forum. Iris Productions were sending me tunes that were really dubby & deep. I seriously made a funny comment like it should be called "Dubstep".

Now i'm NOT saying I was the person that came up with it. But we all had a common knowledge on the early term. I was buying El-B (Ghost label), Zed Bias, Shelflife (Roxy, Nude, El-B), Horsepower Prod. Turn U on label (actually Sister label to Nico's No U Turn D & B label, I hear)., Steve Gurley, Oris Jay, Iris Productions, and DJ Abstract. the first tune I considered "Dubstep" was Black Puppet by Groove Chronicles (El-B).

Listen:

This was 2000-01.

Tunes I was playing were:
Groove Chronicles- Black Puppet/99 (DPR) The first DUBSTEP tune IMHO
Groove Chronicles - Masterplan
El- B- Digital (Locked On)
Ghost- Two Thousand
Ghost- The Spooks
El-B & Nude- South West (Shelflife)
Roxy- Watch Dis (Shelflife)
Hyper-Hypa- Congo Fever (Shelflife)
Steve Gurley- Hot Boys
Zed Bias Jigga Up (Ring the Alarm (Sidestepper)
Phuturistix (Zed Bias & Injekta)- Blind Faith (Locked On)
Phuturistix- 551 Blues (Locked On)
Horsepower Prod.-One U Need (Turn U On)
Horsepower Prod.-Gorgon Sound (Tempa)
Horsepower Prod- Electro Bass (Turn U on)

That's how I got into it!

Been into dance / rave music since about 1989 (when I was 13) especially drum & bass, Detroit techno and electronica. I liked UK Garage to listen to but it wasn't my scene as too dressy (I've never fully grown out of the hoodie and jeans Madchester thing).

First heard dubstep in the backroom of jungle / breakcore nights and on mix CDs sent to me by Krys Forensics circa 2004-5.

Bought and loved the Vex'd album when that came out and a couple of other 12"s over the next year and then the MAH Dubstep Warz thing in January 2006 blew my fragile little mind.

Borderline obsessed ever since.

A friend put me on to Burial and I was all like "wat". That was pretty much my introduction to this whole scene.

Heard a pod cast on radio 1 - said that the bass gave you the same reaction inside your body as when something scary comes up behind you - Sudden release of adrenaline - Aparently!!

Went on from there...

One of my friends who had just released a techno record with me this past year was talking about old bass music and how he wishes people paid more attention to bass programming rather than just hard beats and the same loop played over and over again. Another cat outside the club tossed us a mix, which encompassed no less than what he just described, with influences from every other genre of electronic music imagineable, as well as many organic sounds.
