You can't have an entire night of wobbly basslines - if thats how you are pigeonholing what you believe to be dubstep.

El-B??? GRIME???

I think you're narrowing your dubstep boundaries a little too much. As far as grime goes I was the only DJ to play any that night and even my set was more than 50% dubstep including some tracks which helpled shape the scene.

Diversity in sound is what makes FWD the night it is today. 3 years ago a club full of attitudes like yours would have killed the night off. Luckily there are a lot more open minded people in the community now and we're able to push things forward.

You can't have an entire night of wobbly basslines - if thats how you are pigeonholing what you believe to be dubstep. I'm not sure how long you've been listening to dubstep but the music El-B played was pretty much THE sound which made dubstep what it is today.

Sorry to get on my soapbox - everyone's entitled to an opinion, I just wanted to share mine.

Having been going to FWD>> not even as a DJ but for a punter since the very first night it happened, I think its at its healthiest point ever right now - and I'm sure anyone else in my boat would agree that things are definitely moving forward right now. Getting anal about what is and isn't allowed to be played there would take us back to the days when Hatcha got caned on dubplate net forum for playing too many Benga tunes - in those days it was labelled "8 bar" and the purists got very silly about it. Imagine today's scene without Benga?? Its a ridiculous attitude to have, just let the experimental sounds nurture themselves and let the DJ's express themselves and we'll be in for a very interesting movement.

I hope i'm not chatting shit - I just get heated when I see comments like that. I thought we moved away from that argument a good 3 years ago![/b]
