I dont get these half arse "loop a reggae tune with an out of place wobble" tunes...

I was lovin the sample but then it was just a crap synth sound underneath it, and that was it...

Spot on! i liked it on the first listen though..

War wasn't even wobble. And to be fair, it is just a re-edit really, not a full on "new tune". it is also stupidly weighty.

Still, I know what your getting at about wobble under reggae loop tunes, there does seem to be quite a few of em about, and I don't find them wildly thrilling for the most part.

War was good and some of these wobbly reggae ones are okay but it seems like every one of them is pretty much the same wobble tune with a vocal tacked onto it.

War is a really well made and evocative remix

this is not

This is actually one of the worst things I've ever heard.

er.. i like it.

c'mon people, lets sing along...

bam bam, ey, what a bam bam,
bam bam dilla, bam bam
bam bam dilla, bam bam
'ey what a bam bam, seh what a bam bam



happy family.

Cant really make my mind up about this one. need to hear a bit more than the boomkat sample. at first listen it really appeals but maybe thats because its pluggin in to the whole familiarity thing/ samples a good tune. i don't know. file under novelty record i guess/ break dubstep to the uninitiated crowd device.

It sounds like it was made by a drunk four year old. The wobble just seems completely random and the drum programming is utter muck.

mmmm its bot quite that bad, unless your talkin about an extremely precocious 4yr.

You not heard Michael Bolton's version of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" then I take it?

Granted it's no "Soul provider" or "How can we be lovers" but it has a laid back, soulful vibe that I can dig.

I bet Otis wished he'd thought of adding a guitar solo and screaming like a wounded moose too. Shame he didn't live to hear it

Planes and musicians don't mix.

True



Who ever would have thought that when he was singing "every day it's a getting closer" he was actually referring to the ground. Prophetic words.

Anyone heard Bass Clefs version of Bam Bam complete with Theremin and trumpet? Hoping to see it in his next album

Crapped myself when I saw it listed on Boomkat, but the sample was a big letdown. Love Sister Nancy, but you're right, this is muck.

They're not related, similar idea of course, but War001 still stands for me as one of my favourite dubstep records, and a massive dubstep twelve that has stood the test of time. Doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside this Bambam001 tune.

Generally speaking, "re-editing" reggae tunes is easy and uninspiring. But to do it well, so few have done. This includes the more popular DnB versions of reggae tunes. Minimal effort. That Damian Marley "Jamrock" dnb white that's circulating at the minute; the reggae tune's a beastin classic; the re-edit is shite.

I was mixing today at home, and started playing Haunted. Such an early dubstep tune and it's still better than a lot of the stuff coming out now (I say a lot, not all) There does seem to be this urge to keep audiences interested through obvious re-edits/samples/new plug-ins etc, but it doesn't work (most of the time...) So few producers, I think, are writing simply good dubstep tunes - most are concerned about fascinating the audience with extremities in dubstep too, when the concern should be with just being a good songwriter. Caspa, who I love, has that same obscene bass sound in more and more of his more recent dubs now. Stunning sound, but over-relied on.

Still, as long as producers like Cluekid, Burial, Appleblim, Pinch, Mala and a small host of others who seem to really focus on clever dubstep songwriting, the future should be bright after all. But who knows? Maybe I'm too ripped and just talking out my arse.

Rant over

Got to be honest, just listened to the clip, and it's pretty terrible.

I would also like post a comment about this tune being wank

its just got no gut wrenching urrghh factor has it
