I was at the record store once in 2002, kinda bored with DNB and looking something different. With some help from the record store guy I ended up with Tempa002 and the first vehicle001 in my bag. I didn't know it was dubstep, thought is was just UKG or 2step but the important thing was I just liked the music. It wasn't until a few years later till I got into dubstep but that was my intro I guess.

I wouldn't be able to think of the first I heard, I had no idea what it was, I was hearing it at outdoor parties in the Sierra Nevada's and always thought it was some left field grimey music, but it stuck.

Eventually I caught on to what the style was tabling itself as......

my first song would have to be.... Klaxons - It's not over (Skream Remix)

That song gave me the chills

Midnight Request Line, but I didn't like it at all.

Babylon System's Examination of Time was the first I really appreciated, and it kinda went from there. Dubstep took a while to sink in for me I guess.

first tune was night - but i didnt really get it, it just sounded really minimal on the old laptop speakerrs
it wasnt until i saw kode 9 at bangface last year and he dropped nine samurai that it really clicked - hooked ever since

toasty - the knowledge

my brain nearly exploded when my mate played it to me. that was "the one" for sure.

It was either The Knowledge via Toasty or Guts And Bones via Slaughter Mob. As time goes on these memories get harder to place tbh. The deeper point is that Hotflush are unreal.

Midnight request line got me searching around and then...........?!?!?! I am hazy, too many sounds have had my head all over the place loving it I can't put my finger on that essential tune that got me hooked!

"Kingstown" is SERIOUS.

Yeah, I was looking at a friend's blog, and he had Mary Anne Hobbs Warrior Dubz upped.

I was like "Ooooh, hey, Wiley beat!" and so I checked it out... And I was like "Cool, cool... cool...". And then I clicked on Kingstown, and then I was like, "... Oh shit."

Skream - Midnight Request Line.

Got Skreams album but didn't properly get it. I think after I heard Night and 9 Samurai I really got into it.

Goth Trad - Back to Chill

but from his ALBUM, not the 12" (even though that 12" ended up being the first dubstep record i ever bought).

I highly suggest you check out his album "Mad Ravers Dancefloor", lots of different stuff on there.

1st DubSTEP (ffs) song you heard?
