hats off to you sir

Loads of my mixes I find searching the barefiles. It's what got me into dubstep properly!
Too bad it's kind of dead nowadays. Lots of respect, and too bad the rinse sets aren't up any longer :s

Large up your chest fam!

+1

Deap's (IMO) launched Dubstep world wide with Bare files! At that point in time there was no other way to get Dubstep apart from when some kind soul recorded the shows and did send space links!

Also I have a deap's look-a-like in my home town lol! Deaps knows!

Didnt wanna say that but yes +1000! Bad times! Didnt they reach for the forum too?!

Was one of the first places I came across when I was learning about dubstep. This forum lead me to there. Big up.

Was instrumental in getting me into Dubstep for sure. Massive respect Deapoh!

Nice one Seckle for bumping this thread.

Was that the mix with 'Nine Samurai' into 'Way of the dub' into 'What' into some tune with Roots Manuva into 'Strength' into 'Haunted'?

If so I would really like to know the name of the first track of the mix if anyone knows what Im talking about

Yeah it was. The first tune is Immortal by Amit. Don't think it ever got released though.

I think 9 Samurai was mixed into a BoC tune as well. Pure genius.

Nice one Dutty switch. I love the way 'Strength' goes into 'Haunted', Haunted starting in a awkward place so that that both tunes drop. Also when 'Nine Samurai' drops with the gun fire of "Way of the dub' !

Yeah mate, for sure. I love the mix he does from Lightning into Midnight Request Line as well, where he keeps bringing it back in and out. Also Root into Buck & bury into South London Boroughs.

this set sounds amazing! link?

I've been wondering where Deapoh's disappeared to. Heard him play out at DMZ the one time, enjoyed it and was hoping for more.

Good find!!

started buying more dnb again recently so think I'm gonna have to get hold of a copy. You know what label it came out on?

EDIT: Found it! I was looking for it as a single but it was lurking on one of his albums. Think I'll be getting a copy of that.

seckle wrote:this is the first thread on barefiles when it opened for business. march 2006. now as we're approaching 2011, it deserves to be bumped purely for the reason that, this sound and this community owe a lot to deapoh and barefile's influence. in a large measure, deapoh is responsible for pushing it global, and making the music easy to find.

salute! legend! if barefiles was important to you in any way, leave a comment.

Barefiles and DSF were the first places I found dubstep. Barefiles was the motherlode. One of my favorite moments in the last few years was getting asked to do an exclusive set for Barefiles. Been wondering where dude got up to though. *scratches head*

Mad props to Deaps and to DSF for all the great music in the last few years. Much love.
