Bradford sometimes gets some good dub but I dunno about dubstep... I think dubstep nights are more popular in bigger student cities which is why leeds has nuff dubstep. Bradford does get some good dub and roots though, I dunno if the rootsman system is still running but there was a dub night at the playhouse recently with inspirational sound and I missed it :(

Good news for you then mate, I missed that as well but went to Dublab at the Mill and was talking to the Inspirational guys subsequently who said in the new year there will be another night at the playhouse with the same system :D sign up to the mailing list at http://www.dublab.co.uk/

i saw inspirational sound at unity day and they didn't do any mixing at all they only used one cdj and just played some tunes. had some live vocals though and the tunes were good, so it was good. iv been looking for warning by inspirational sound on 10in vinyl but i cant find it, on the dublab site it just says in good record stores but tribe recs in leeds didnt have it and theyv got plenty dub

Nah It's Bassline for the chavs and electro and a bit of jump up dubstep for the indie nobs.

yeh safe 4 that man, i just try and do wot i can with the whole production thing - im guessing stuff like 'Solitary' and 'Beat 420' mite b a bit 2 'experimental' but i like to switch my bass sounds up every now and agen.
yeh 'bradford ting' has got the best reaction overall - every DJ that I've sent that tune 2 has said that is the best beat of the bunch.
ah u kno him as well?yh we were @ the same skool, safe guy

The more experimental the better though really.

Possible night coming up... can't give details as it's not concrete yet - but it won't be a wobble night. Dubstep, Funky, Techno, Garage, hopefully jungle if I can find a DJ etc.

Anyone who knows of any good DJs (preferably vinyl) who play forward thinking selection of bass music (not interested in wobbles for an hour, sorry) in Bradford send me a PM
