That's why ukg (you cant knock it ) was so big because everyone did their own thing (birth of dubstep)

You absolutely can't knock the UKG sound, it gave birth not only to Dubstep, but Grime, 2 step, even current day Dubstep is more connected to the UKG sound of 1999-2002. TRG, MARTYN and others are certainly creating a vibe that are fundamentally elements of 2-step depending on your viewpoint and recollection of the genre. Hell, even UK FUNKY is a UKG Variant ( its so funny that Agent X was making this sound years ago as UGK now its back under a new moniker).

UKG has gone under so many different names and given birth to a multitude of styles, some current and some long gone and already forgotten. SUB LOW, 8 BAR, NICHE, BASSLINE, TECH STEP, 4x4, bumpy 4x4, and more.

where are the people responsible for all the great tunes though?

STICKY, BIGSHOT, DONAEO, QUALIFIED, DJ SKI, ED CASE, WOOKIE, ONE DARK MARTIAN, MJ COLE, WIDEBOYS etc, I often wonder what Dubstep would sound like with them at the controls. JAYBIRD'S remixes of "oh boy (hurt U so)" and "perculator" are always in rotation in my sets, but then again so isn't all off the UKG classics. including MYRON "get down" I went throw hell to find that record and always give it a proper beating.

At the end of the day, I'm not so much into WHAT U CALL IT but I do want it to be noted that UKG, in regards to how I view it, is the UMBRELLA that covers all the subgenres which includes Dubstep and the others mentioned. so UKG is very much alive and kicking from the perspective of this producer/dj.

well put but we get over things (musically) so quickly, all the names are still active but under other styles, because this is choosen proffesion so we have dabble in other genre's.. so it's like juggling nine balls at once.. i look forward in hearing more future music from benga and skream..

Sometimes his stuff isn't for me, but thats pretty much a rule when it comes to music especially when its someone who is so consistently trying out new things/ideas.

But to be honest its what he created in terms of the force/effort behind dubstep as an entity that I am eternally grateful for!

Oh, that and the Set he played in Cardiff on his Watch the Ride tour. SO fucking big, massive respecticles. Had freaking everything...one of the most diverse (dubstep) sets ive ever seen! I had a list as long as my arm of tunes I wanted to hear that night, and I swear he dropped every one...and a 10 min burial heads down realise-how-drunk-you-are sesh at the end.

The man knows!

Qualified is Compound One, Donaeo needs to vocal some dubstep and Bigshot, Sticky, Wookie and Ski need to make some and it would be interesting to hear what Ed Case, MJ, W-i-d-e and the likes would come up with. ODM on dubstep could be amazing.
