Stop moaning.

For every P Diddy there's a hip hop artist who 'keeps it real', eschewing corporate success in favour of making honest music.


IF commercial success came to dubstep, the sellouts would be outed from the underground and the rest would keep on keeping on. Personally I think some of the artists in the scene deserve some wider exposure, and the bucks that come with it might help even more music see a release.

Profile: Zbigniew Karkowski was born in 1958 in Krakow, Poland. He studied composition at the State College of Music in Gothenburg, Sweden, aesthetics of modern music at the University of Gothenburg's Department of Musicology, and computer music at the Chalmers University of Technology. After completing his studies in Sweden, he studied sonology for a year at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Den Haag, Netherlands. During his education, he also attended many summer composition master courses arranged by Centre Acanthes in Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, France, studying with Iannis Xenakis, Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez, and Georges Aperghis, among others. He works actively as a composer of both acoustic and electroacoustic music. He has written pieces for large orchestra (commissioned and performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra), plus an opera and several chamber music pieces that were performed by professional ensembles in Sweden, Poland, and Germany. He is a founding member of the electroacoustic music performance trio "Sensorband." Zbigniew has lived and worked in Tokyo, Japan for the past eight years, and is active in the underground noise scene there


So this guy is a "Classical Musician/Composer" in your definition because he's from the classical tradition of studying music and writing for orchestras ;)
(also the Japanese Noise scene is run by groups like the Boredoms)

sorry for going off topic peeps ;)

P Diddy kept it very real in the early days...he's just an awesome tactician and a&r dude. Some of those artists in dubstep who've really worked hard, u know who u are (not just jumped onto a bandwagon/setup and flowed with them) I believe deserve some proper commercial success.

Although i have reservations, and an instant defensive reaction to this sort of coverage...

Going "overground" - Upsides:

More people to club nights (even if they some of them are chin-stroking fools)

More people buying records

More exposure

^^all = more tunes coming out


Why would it be bad having skream tunes (or whatever) played daytime radio1? Sure most people wouldn't have a clue, but some might love it.

Does it matter if people don't know what this music is about? Do you have to know to enjoy it? (and if so, why??)

Whats to lose?

(I aint cussing there music, it was/is called "Noise" and was listed in Rough Trade at the time as such)
No-one else remember? Oh well maybe I'm jus old, lol!

But yeh this is the beginning of the end as Paulie rightly says.
"Stella Sessions" on Radio One! I cant think of anything much worse than people with no knowledge of this music listening to some of the best music out there and comparing it to the pop shite that Radio 1 play most
of the time.
"I love that chilled tune with the flute, you kno that dubby thingy, Radio 1 played it after that Heaven is A Place on Earth trance tune"<- This is where we are headed if we aint careful (do you want that?)

well i think the concern is a dilution of quality and of vibes.

one of the things that distinguishes dubstep from other scenes is seriously good vibes at the dance, and also pretty high standards when it comes to releases.

for me, the cliché description of dubstep as music from the "hood" kinda sums it up... all a bit voyeuristic really..

Yes Ramadanman! That is it completely!
IMO the N.A.S.A (nice an safe attitude) that has pervaded this scene is going goin.... not yet gone but nearly.
A good example of this is the insulting emails i know Deapoh has recieved demanding that there mixes be put on barefiles (i'm only using deapoh as an example hope u dont mind bro). The scene is made up of people spending there free time creating and making available the music they like. When big players (like Radio 1 bla bla bla) get involved these people are the first ones who see the switch from people interested in music to people interested in money.
When this new mindset enters a scene it destroys the original creativity that grew it and ends up making the scene into a genre with no character.
rant over ;)

that is really cliched, but - hey - its the sunday times style magazine!!! Cliche-orama...

I guess I just think that its kinda of to us, as a scene, to keep the vibes there... 'dubstep' is just a label. I'm happy with that label now, but if - as might be feared - the crowd changes and the vibes change, then we should just start new nights, move on, evolve and change. We can keep the vibes there cos the overground will always be two steps behind us.

As far as I'm concerned, if worst comes to worst, the overground can have the label 'dubstep'. Its just a word. I agree the vibes are whats important, and the vibes will always be there if we want them to be.
