yas man! dubU keeping things moving out west!
Matty G is a don as well, first man to make uniquely american dubstep.

yea, carolina peeps need definitely holler at me, i have got the passion and fire to get electronic music as loud as possible in the midsouth!
nathan-kate is the don dj as well and safe guy but is moving to miami soon.

one thing, try stepping outside of the university some...i spend too much time there and apparently some guy who i have never heard of is trying to start a dubstep night right here in asheville. things moving on there own almost!
just keep the vibes sweet, ye!

i dunno about other states in the south but texas seems to have more than the foundation built. theres a lot of support going around, i see nothing but bigger and bigger things.

The country isn't so much geared toward electronic music as our English Brethren...but i don't see it being so far fetched. I mean I play songs that I get in this forum for my friends and at house parties and they really feel the vibe(suprising cause im from the dirty south and if it aint crunk and it ain't country it ain't happening). Maybe it's because i go to a school where reggae and dub music is still a staple...but i don't know. I am just tryin' to see the future of dubstep in America, and I am a both excited and a bit worried that I can't see the future when it comes to the music. So I guess my question is what steps do us stateside folk to get the movement out and if anyone across the pond have any suggestions. Sorry this is long winded I just got done an exam and I couldn't even take it because I was thinking about this topic...

oh man, that is too rough around the edges.
but i think you allude to a good point, paul: dubstep is exceptional music largely because of the people and community from which it is built.

i guess all in all the bottom line is...drum roll and bass line please...we got to keep doin' what we are doing over here, keep pushin' each other creatively...producer keep bangin' out your beats like ya'll know how to do...DJs keep spinnin shit like ya'll know how to(push these producers in this forum they know what they are doin' and where it's at)...keep showin' love for our brovas and sistas across the oceans...and i'm sure they will be doin' the same for us. its people in communities like this forum that are gonna help the movement grow. 10VE all...

When Tempa start sellotaping Hamburgers to their record sleeves for overseas shipments, I think we'll see something interesting.

we are working our asses off spreading the dubstep sound in indiana, of all places. if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere (although we do have a pretty healthy electronic music scene, so i can't complain).

:)
Here, have a free tune:
