Anyway, I'm voting for minimal dnb and easy dubstep. Basicly more stuff like: Distance, Actress, Instra:mental, D-Bridge, Burial etc..
But there is already a lot of material in any genre and every genre gets more material every year

It`s not like the ; Distance, Burial, etc. style of minimalist, atmospheric, bass beats, has not been done before under the premise of a different style.
PsyDub and quite a fair bit of Pete Namlook style atmospheric beats has been floating around under the guise of a different name for years.
Burial makes some beatless, atmospheric music with a track or 2 having some dubstep factors.
Not hating on Burial, love his beats.
But just being objective and looking at the music closely, you kind of realize that quite a bit of the popular so-called Dubstep, ex the wobble, is actually the same or similar sounding as genres long forgotten.

I think because of the nature of experimental/underground music and it`s reasent success.
It`s becoming cool to make music that is not genre specific.
So returning to my Burial remarks, take the 'Burial' albumn.
Good Albumn but how much is the music what we would term Dubstep?
One or 2 tracks are quite deffinately your typical Dubstep sound.
But the larger percentage could have fallen into different categories based on what the listeners were into at the time.

So because Dub sounds were popular and people released music to a largely dub audience, the less dubby sounds became known as Dubstep without a thought.
Take the same sounds, put them into a psychedelic dub, psytrance , environment and the sounds become known as soundscapes, atmosphere, IDM, etc.
So my feeling is the sound does not dictate the movement but rather the movement that dictates the sound.

If you want experimental, deep sounds, over Bombastic, grimey, smelly, wobbles.
You will just include that sound in your listening and granted enough people also listen to that sound in a certain context, that sound will become the popular sound of Dubstep.
Will the name still be Dubstep? that`s dependant on the community.
If it has bass there's no reason why not to call it Dubstep.
But we all know the proliferation of a name is just pointless.
So why not call it something different?
Because then it won`t remain as cool as we'd like it to be.
That`s why we have step this and step that.
And that is why atmospheric, soundscapes, are also being grouped into the Dubstep Genre.
In the end I like the term Bass Music.
Talk about remaining comfortably vague.
Works for me.

Get my drift?

sorry I do ramble sometime.

IMO the atmospheric, hypnotic, monotonal sounds
are the future of experimental music.

The fundemantal building blocks of music becoming a larger part of the music.
Rather than be musical, the musicality is created by tonal sound minupulation, hypnotic waveforms, etc.
ie. solar fields style hypnotic game soundtracks like Mirror's Edge

Yeah you know I don't really mind whether it's dubstep or not as long as it sounds good.
I mean iTAL tEK is labeled as dubstep in my library but if you compare for example Actress and iTAL
tEK i'm pretty sure they aren't the same genre So I'm with you about not commiting to a certain
genre but just exploring your own sound.

As long as it's vibey, minimal or actually good 'heavy'/jump-up i'll give it a listen

Door-step

all about the g'ed up sound, if u dont know get ta knooow!

Suprising 2010 shift towards the blend of dubstep with more futuristic deep bassline sounds. For example rap over breakbeat/dubstep. More grimey really, broken down!I know because I work for a large record label and have seen a Shiiiiiiiittt load of promos that we have sent to us everyday. But there are a few new names knocking around that will break through. My bet is for Zero Watts to become more mainstream. There are a few other names but he is the one to watch.

cumbia

its always changing, it'll change into wot catches on the most...

the dream for me will always be that the oldskool garage heads all come back into a close form of this music and just destroy everything (in a good way)

atmospheric, hypnotic, monotonal sounds have been the future of experimental music since stockhausen. probably even before that.

i'm hopping we lose the whole "tempo cult" attitude and just make good music


it's always been weird to me, as someone who dances, to be at a club where the tempo stays the same all night

i understand how it's easier for me as a dj to stay in one tempo range, but it gets pretty boring imho


so i guess i'm just hopping people will stop saying things like, "i'm on a (insert random tempo # here) tip". it's such a '00 thing to say, and it's '10... let's go nuts

As long as all this 125-140bpm bass music keeps being made, I'll be happy.

burial
mala
zomby
actress

came here to say this.
People are all over r'n'b like a rash. Guido and deadboy leading the way.

Also i think theres going to be a change towards more emotional/euphoric music. listen to skreams new dubs, guido and joker and the increasing amount of girly vocals found in tracks.
