Bollocks!

Without insulting them but they're holding the sound back.

Silkie, Quest, Prism, Heny G, Chord Maraurders to an extent are all actually bringing something new and loads others what are not on the top of my head.

Most of those you listed (maybe minus Kenzo cause he has some brilliant tracks) haven't been innovating for a long time but instead stuck in a certain head space with never really expanding on it.

None of them are making a new Glamma, Learn or Lion VIP. It don't have the energy of grime with the class and production standard of the genres merged to create dubstep. Its just snare on 3 and 1/4 hats over some wobbley bassline.

Snore.

i wouldn't put madd on that list tbh. releases on zam zam / lion charge / roots & future definitely stand out. i think the last 'dungeon' stuff he put out was years ago.

The bias here is a bit much really, you like that whole jazzy music stuff, when its all really samey as well, its just not growls.

Silkie has done work yeah but his stuff is very similar, you can always tell a Silkie tune straight away(not saying its a bad thing, I like it, just adding perspective).
Quest has released 1 record in 4 years, great he's got loads of dubs, but its hardly pushing the scene forwards.
Heny G put out 1 Digi album last Jan and I cant think of anything else for agessss.
Chord Marauders are good I rate them.

What are they bringing that's new though? Stand/Eden was 2008 and they're still making jazzy dubstep. It's the same thing, just you prefer it.


J Kenzo's new stuff is really good, DJ Madd is absolutely smashing it at the mo, Roots & Future, ZamZam & Lion Charge. Biome's Lost Dubs on his bandcamp are brilliant. Killawatt runs Lion Charge, a really good label, with some great producers on there. Dunno what Distance is up to, gonna give his chestcast a listen on the drive tonight, never really rated District too much.

Snore when you've already written them off and don't actually listen to the stuff they make anymore? That's my guess anyways.

Doesnt J:Kenzo run Lion Charge and not Killawatt?

Agree with the rest

I thought it was Killawatt & Ipman cos they had the first 2 releases, but I could be wrong.

I like bangers too. I just think a lot of those guys ^ are missing energy from their music.

Triplets and an odd bongo line isn't energy. The amount of times I go outside for an hour during Youngsta sets these days.

Literally bores me to death, I don't get how people feel it - I'm not even being a hater, I wish I could enjoy it then I could go out more than once every quarter a year when theres a decent Dubstep night on.

I agree, where are the bangers? Those dance floor stompers

i do rate some of the chord marauders stuff but it's hardly taking the sound somewhere new. they're best tunes sound like martyn, 2562 et al around 2008 - which is great imo but nothing new

everything else mentioned is

What is mutant bass?
Dungeon is brostep, IMO.

There was the 3x 'mutant dubstep' compilations by Ebola, Cardopusher and someone else a few years back. They sent things on a breakcore/ragga/mega-turbo-grimey-tip

Shitmat did a remix of one of the tunes which probably sums it up

Its a sick mix, I was annoyed it wasn't available to download anymore, so like Charles Bronson in death wish I took matters into my own hands

Future dub techcore

Imo the dungeon sound is kinda like a hybrid child of the 04-05 youngsta sound and some of what distance was doing (E.g. Night Vision). Obviously there's a bit more to it than that but it does draw some parallels to those sounds.

I don't even know what normal Dubstep sounds like anymore cause everyone makes dungeon nowadays

Lol nah

lol nah mate, you must not be looking hard enough if you think everyone makes dungeon

Molzie wrote:I agree, where are the bangers? Those dance floor stompers

i think back in the original dubstep vs. brostep period people got scared of bangers, when they were emphasizing deepness against brostep-sound. but that was taking the pendulum swing way too far in the other side, and forgetting variation. it's all about being a banger without sounding stadium rock. i love bangers!

i'd throw that in with old Headhunter, 2562, and Peverelist tunes.
