Skream/DMZ for sure!

Kode9 must have influenced things a lot with his older tunes....

MALA

Mala's one of my absolute favorite producers, but does he actually influence people much? I have trouble thinking of anyone who really 'sounds like Mala...'

without a shadow of a doubt it has to be DMZ.
IMO totally changed dubstep & Mala hits the spot every time for me....he does it how it should be done.

uuummm...horsepower...and later burial and loefah

probably all the oldies like skream, mala, digital mystiks etc..

i reckon they're all quite boring though, hopefully when people are more aware of the things people like cardopusher and ebola are doing they might be influenced to make dubstep with a bit more to it.

Mala

you pretty much made me feel very lame because i've never listened to either. will check it- good lookin out.

I am going to have to agree with the majority. Skream and DMZ. They are IMO have the most influence on what we now know as dubstep. But if you ask those guys the same question they are probably going give a different answer.

please don't take this discussion THERE. i can understand answers like DMZ, Skream or El-B/Horsepower, but I think there are many good dubstep producers that probably may have never been into cardopusher/ebola/etc

blatantly dmz n skream

mala and skream's styles set the pace for the sound
coki and loefah pioneered wobblers and halfstep respectively

rusko has carved out his own sound but I'd say he owes a bit to these guys...

which is why he is saying he hopes they influence more people.

dmz/skream

unbelievable talent, always coming up with something new and unexpected.

the tune conference actualy influenced shackleton to make tunes using mostly congos... i believe you can read that in an interview on blackdowns blog a couple years back


dmz crew for sure, mala coki and loefah

Big up Skream.

its obviously caspa, rusko & coki isnt it
i like the fact people are saying martyn, but i dont hear his sound comethrough on many peoples tunes (probly cos hes pretty untouchable)
is there a glut of martyn-esque tunes i've not heard? cos i would wanna a piece of that pie

i've said it before and i'll say it again. i have to actively not listen to TRG because i'm afraid i'm going to start copying him and it would be way obvious.

haha. you're doing pretty fucking good on your own mate!

its true. again, his sound is untouchable.

in terms of influencing other producers/the sound in general, I wouldn't have said Mala - he's untouchable and impossible to imitate.

Loefah however, at the peak of his halfstep powers, spawned a thousand copycats, as have Rusko, Caspa, Coki and Skream. They're all still leagues ahead of most of the rest though.

i was thinking exactly the same thing, and about mala too


its clearly Coki really, he started the dominant distorted dub riff thing and that has become the sound of dubstep for better or worse

and then maybe kode9 who showed how far out there it could be taken right from the start, or skream for starting the pulsing dancefloor style with the scattered drums, or Loe or Wonder for the dark halfstep and hiphop influences

shit yeah wonder...
what
enough said really!
