Wasn't a lot of dubstep around 137/138 anyway? Before 140 was the standard? I remember Mala saying something to that degree.

Pretty much every Loefah tune is 138 or lower.

Yeah definitely heard words to this effect in Blackdown interviews.




Quote from Loefah in an interview with Blackdown:

Loefah: But with Forward>> it wasn’t the music so much. I remember what blew me away the first few Forwards>> were [Wiley’s] Devil mixes. I think Youngsta was playing and I was just blown away. Then I was listening more to Mala’s stuff and it was then that it became known as, in my head anyway, “138 shit.” I was writing at 145-155bpm. That was then when it became music to be played at Forward>> but I still didn’t know it was called “dubstep.”

And a bit of the transcript from Blackdown's interview with Kryptic Minds and Loefah:

L: My main dubstep stuff I’m trying to do at 138bpm again.

B: I never left 138bpm.

L: I went up to 145bpm

B: Yeah we never went anywhere but especially now with funky at 130bpm… I know you never really liked garage Loe but is was the foundation of what we do, so when funky comes along being UK garage part 2, while I don’t want to rush off and do it, its interesting enough as a movement, so if you’re at 145bpm you cant access it, whereas if you’re at 138bpm it’s not a million miles away. I think Kode9 feels the same, as he now has a whole 130bpm section in his sets. It’s can work

L: Bruv, I’m writing 138bpm 808 beats right now but it’s nothing to do with funky. But you know what, I wanna do some club shit? I still want to make people dance, not force them to dance.
