the big drop is what killed dnb dead for me a few years back. I do see it creeping into dubstep, but i mix more like a techno DJ anyway (long blends/EQs) so it doesn't bother me too much.

u people are hard to please.

the music has to be made to cater 4 every 1. theres a post about people fed up wiv wabble bass lines now its the big drop.

i personally prefer slow minimal deep bass line business. dont mean to say i dont wana hear no wabble bass ( which i've recently tinkered wiv) or big drops. a good variation is wots needed.

wot kode 9 saying about fill tunes is true, i have beats i built that i use as fill tunes ( jus not as much in em). if they were all big madness tunes we'd all be skinny and needing oxygen tanks.

alot of stuff is produced due to a crowds reaction at the dance....so its all your faults mwhhahahah

Where's the interview?

Truth. Maybe I'm overestimating people here, but nothing but big drop tunes = about ninety big drops a night and even the biggest drop-addicts are going to lose interest after a while...

So stick the slow creepers and the melodic sweetness and whatever else in the filler tunes and everyone's happy.

Here, Eat all these at the next DMZ


You may just win the prize for the biggest drop in Dubstep

personally rewinds annoy the shit out of me unless its like maybe one or two a night and the crowd is DEMANDING it

Nothing wrong with drops they have existed in electronic music since its inception and will continue you to for years after. I thought the original point raised in this threads was about the competition for ever bigger drops, not the use of the drop within the music. The drop is one of the most powerful tools hence its popularity, cant fault it a good drop sticks in ya head. but it gets stale when it becomes a competition, almost an end in itself, which can be heard in some tunes at the moment. I'm a sucker for variation in tunes, sometimes its the most simplistic lead line that has most effect like the one that comes in on the second drop of lean forward.

Big drops came way before dnb! Listen to Jamaican soundclashes - thats where the vibe comes from.

I had no idea there was another way of mixing ^ ^

Can't beat seeing how long you can hold a mix together with it still sounding like one.

Here we go again......

how about we all start producing Regressive House

or dub tech house step

yea i luv dem DMZ trax which have 16 bar intros. it's like saying "hi, this is a murder tune", and then cuttin straight to the chase. no BS, straight up, 'lay it on 'em' bizniss.

Yeah that's it. What's that one (coki I think) with hardly anything going on in the intro, just a cymbal and a gentle background noise or something? And not forgetting coki 'marijuana' - what's that, a 4 word intro or something ?- sick. I love the way it just gets dropped from the top, mostly. Handy for if it's gonna get 6 reloads too.

^^ thats exactly it - those tracks are built for rewinds.

You need fillers just as much as you need drops. Variety is not just the spice of life, music needs it to. Can you imagine endless drop tunes, everyone would be knackered after an hour.

As dubstep produces more tunes DJ sets will become broader and more varied. Dj's who still believe in the art of DJing will work their sets building and layering the music in a pulsing journey of bass.

Happy days

I dig the "Drops", but also, I'm personally a fan of the drops that aren't 'DROPS', per se'...jus mixing the tunes and dropping the new bass in heavy style, is jsut as effective, and longer lasting than those rewind 'drops'...imo.
