funnily enough, i was listening to james blake when i entered this thread lol

[AllNightDayDream]

its a bit like mala, he wouldn't exactly class himself as a dubstep artist, but he's one of the pioneers of the sound (obviously not blake but you know what i mean)

Oh come on Mala is iconic dubstep. Whether he likes it or not he produced within that specific kind of sound.

but... he does. As far as I've heard, he hasn't made anything outside the confines of classic dubstep. It's a bit silly to say he's not a dubstep producer.

My only point is that it's silly for mala to say he isn't exactly a dubstep producer, when that is exactly what he is. Some of the things he says/does annoy me.

[Pistonsbeneath]

he is a bastard, damn him for not making brostep and using the word dubstep more and he should appreciate lady gaga more as well because hes probably really snobby and elitist....he probably even holds views that are questionable about stuff too that lean a bit too far to the left

[Dub_freak]

Mala doesn't like genre names being used to classify a sound, something to do with creating a boundary that shouldn't be there i think. its in his interview with Red Bull

@ pistons: when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. He just comes off very pretentious (hipster) to me sometimes. Especially the fact he won't release stuff digitally. So much for digital mystikz.
And I guarantee some of my views may be more left than his.
@dubfreak: Yeah i've seen his interviews. I understand that he doesn't like genres and such, but when you actually listen to his tunes I find it hard to believe you can't hear they all come from the same mold.

Yeah i think hes definitely a Dubstep producer with a lot of dub/reggae influences

Yeah, it was a corny unfunny pun.

[Neptune]

I actually laughed quite a bit at that.

lol it's funny as soon as someone criticizes any of the old heads you get this kind of reaction. Classic.

Anyone saying that James Blake isn't dubstep needs to have a word with themselves IMO.

Fair enough if you don't like the direction he took with the album but he's one of the most musically innovative producers out there. The one concession that I'll make is that the songs on the album make a lot more sense live than they do in the house or on headphones. Having seen him live twice this year I can tell you that the sub on The Wilhelm Scream is immense. The gig at St Pancras Old Church was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

Magnets and such... I'll get my coat

Pistons a hipster? looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
