Something I've noticed about Dungeon...

[mIrReN]

I tell people I play Dungeon all the time.

Here's a picture of me:

lolled so hard


btw; oh no not this thread again bro vs deep

oh btw dungeon is a shit name and I second wubs opinion, never really got into that topic and never been through it because of what he says in first post

[bigfootspartan]

Bro was awesome back when it was just Datsik and Excision and Downlink.

Haha no, they've never been awesome.
'Bro' a.k.a heavy as fuck nasty dubstep, was awesome back when it was just Coki dubplates and you had to lock on to the radio, or go to a show to hear it. Now every tnuc is making that sound and its all over Youtube/Facebook/school buses.

I get what you're saying, but that's how it was when the Kelowna guys first started. I think it was 07 or 08 when I ended up at an Excision show by accident, probably 20 people there, and it was brilliant. It wasnt all robot like growly bro that we currently see, and the fact that he threw in some classic DnB was great. That was before they all got into the 'we're heavier than the next crew' shit. I remember after the show I couldn't even remember who it was that played, I couldn't find any information online other than the clubs website saying who it was that was playing that night.

Now that every tnuc with a computer is a producer is producing bro it's gotten really stale.

What I was trying to say with that though, was that The same thing happens with dungeon after a while. The same producers are getting rinsed, and even though they are ace producers it doesn't change the fact that we've all heard it before. It's not close to as saturated as the bro state of things, but it's getting saturated, and I think that's why there's so many people jumping on the juke bandwagon.

There's so many people jumping on every band wagon

so many brostep guys

so many dungeon guys

so many guys playing house

so many people going back to 808s and going a bit electro

or ripping off bits of juke

so many people trying to sound like Coki

so many people making dubby tracks

It's all about mixing up what you play and what you listen to and being selective. Just make the effort to hear more styles and better tunes if you're getting bored. There's interesting music everywhere in the bass music spectrum. Stop being such whiny dicks

[grillis]

...is that so many of the tunes appear to be over saturated.

Take for example page 4 of this thread. Barely halfway full and already J:Kenzo - Protected features 4 seperate times. Not saying it's not a good track, but it's being featured so much. Same for DJ Madd & Phaleh - Ritual. Features 3 times on that page. Again, not a bad track, it's just that the more 'dungeon' themed mixes I see, the more similarities I notice in the tracklistings.

If Dungeon is such a big sound right now, why aren't the DJ mixes reflecting the variations, as opposed to all including the same tracks/producers?


(Not slating any one particular mix/DJ/track/producer btw)

Fucken hell wub, read my mind. Wanted to make a post along these lines but couldn't be fucked.. pretty much stemmed from seeing 'J:Kenzo - Protected' listed so goddamn many times too.

Unless you're youngsta or a producer making these sort of tunes, why would you limit yourself so much when djing or creating mixes? I've posted one mix in that thread as it had a 'kryptic minds' theme and I'm thinking about doing another one with a more general half-step/minimal theme somewhere along the line but unless I'm specifically trying to showcase one sound, I find it impossible not to throw in all sorts of 130-140 bassheavy music when I'm playing a set or recording a mix... it is a bore othwerwise, and i'm not saying that because this sound is 'deep' and 'minimal', too much of anything is just shit. Kryptic Minds blended with Addison Groove gets me going a lot more than *halfstepper* with *halfstepper2*

got a podcast coming soon, starts with chilled out housey bits, ends with ear-blasting techno, covers pretty much all the bases at 120-135, bit of grime, bit of garage, bit of weird tribally shit mixed with deep house

kind of like what we did on the radio today and it worked really well, try and get a recording of it up

[jigglypuff]

wtf is dubstep?

[Shum]

wtf is dubstep?

Answer.

[wub]

"This tune is so deep, that during the 2nd drop I saw Jacques Cousteau brocking out!"

[Atac]

There should be a sticky designated for sub genre battles or something

"This tune is so deep, that during the 2nd drop I saw Jacques Cousteau brocking out!"

hahaha i actually laughed at that

[Pedro Sánchez]

I'm making Dungeon with 808's that is four to the floor with dirty basslines and pitched down female vocals. I think I have all bases covered, youtube ad revenue to follow.

DJ Wanka remix, just to be on the safe side.

Yeh good looking out, I also might need to make them 10mins long and throw in a delayed dub chord with filter automation every 4 bars for the 'deep heads'.

Going back to the original topic: I'm trying to get all my stuff out to DJ's via labels - sometimes giving stuff away just to get new tracks out there... doing my bit, slowly!

I agree, people playing an underground or alternative style shouldn't really be playing it safe - if that's what is going on (don't listen to masses of mixes) There's a lot of great stuff out there.

Nobody has suggested an alternative to 'Dungeon' yet - when people outside of Dubstep circles ask me what style of music I produce I do try to think of a way of describing it other than 'Dungeon', but sod it. I like the looks on their faces!

[capo ultra]

Dubstep is a much better alternative to Dungeon imo
