Stuck in the midle. I find it normal that there are a lot of dubplates that aren't released.
Why? Because I accepted that it's a part of dubstep and its roots. A dj dropping a dubplate is a sign that he worked for it, or earned it with respect from a producer. Some tunes are even better with the dubplate status, you know they are special, and you can't reach them, it gives them some extra character (even though you still want to put it on the decks yourself :p).
Still sometimes it's ridiculous how many dubplates will never get a release. Ok, there are enough releases but I think many people will follow me when I say that a bit more releases from Mala, Skream, Distance, Benga, Coki, you name it, would be good.
After a while, you're not teasing anymore, but downright torturing us
And for the producers who don't want their tunes to lose much of their magic, you could just release them in small batches like somebody already said. Becuase they are still "exclusive" they will still have some of their magic, and even if bedroom dj's (like me now) get them, who cares?
All good dj's were bedroom dj's, and they'll get better. If you worry about bedroom dj's rinsing out the tunes while being the first dj: if they do it, they'll sure get some tips not doing it.
Also, I hope vinyl stays for a long time. Don't want to sell my decks or buy CDJ's.
