I actually produce for a number of Hip-Hop acts. I've done house, trip-hop, dnb, etc. in the past as well. When I'm not producing electronic music though, I play a number of live instruments in a band.

We produce mainly dubstep, but dabble with hip hop and DnB.

Look out for our c.d album release which will feature varied styles, due early 08 :D

Will post about this when its ready ;)

Hardcore and Techno/Acid.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

nah, it's far too old for that, though it is a loop which i resampled and cut up to fuck.

I would get very bored if I only wrote dubstep! I would guess its the same for most people... does ANYONE just write dubstep and dubstep only?? If so I think you're in this for the wrong reasons (unless you're just starting out of course)

I've also made in the past: breakcore, dnb, digital black metal (that genre name is my own invention haha), and some experimental/ambient.

Currently, I'm also doing some instrumental 'jazz hop / lounge' projects. I will definitely write more dnb in the future too.

thats quite a statement. not that i am involved in just dubstep, but...

what about John Mayall/bo diddly/clapton/BB King playing blues all their life (among thousands who also stick to this?) what about every dub/reggae artist making dub and reggae all their life? Are you suggesting that people who choose one area of an electronic art in this day and age cannot not be passionate about it in the same way?

I have only recently (past 6 months or so) gotten into Dub-Step from a production standpoint.

I mostly do psy-trance or industrial/electro-clash but have historically done all sort of stuff (trip-hop / DnB / ambient / noise / etc) with an emphasis on live performance.

Last year I started playing around with dropping my psy stuff from 150ish bpm down to 135ish as I seemed to get better crowd response during performance.

I have always had a "wall-of-bass" approach so mixing dub-step elements into the setup is working out really well so far. I'll know better after I play my first gig with the "new" setup in December.

All the time! I often try switching the style of a tune in the early stages until I find a genre that works best. I usually base the tempo of the tune around what works best with the samples/presets involved.

I write DNB, Electro, "mood" music (adverts/TV etc) and electro-trance but I'll write anything if I feel like it!

I agree.

And dubstep is a ludicrously diverse genre at the moment - you can take it from really minimal freeform meditative stuff to crunked up bangers to percussive jazzy wonk - cliche ahoy but it's really own as limited aas you are.

I started making more melodic garagey type stuff..

but now thats all I do :)


I find there is a really really good pocket of slightly experimental but kind of regressive post dubstep garage right now..
