[mob barley]

yo whats the name of that style off funk they got in DC....which is ONLY popular in DC?

GLK shoulda dropped that shit.

you are talking about GO-GO, and its the business!

but yea, DC is haterville for dubstep...which is odd, because 45 minutes up the highway in Baltimore, Maryland the dubstep scene is off the fucking charts:

examples:

its complete bullshit. I don't understand how a city only 45 minutes away has such a better appreciation for dubstep (despite the fact that baltimore is mostly a gully shithole)

[ryan the lion]

my guess is you guys dont have a team of people properly representing the music. sure, you can go around and play dubstep and not understand why people arent coming out, thats easy. try going out and handing out fliers, start a promotion group, put in the work, and actually build the scene instead of complaining about how shit it is.

my little sister lives in VA right outside DC. she loves dubstep, and wants to come support, but DC is almost NON EXISTENT on the internet for dubstep. i had to dig through google for 30 minutes to find any information on dubstep in DC. the dc scene may be weak, but the promoters def aren't helping. dont blame the crowds.

a year ago nobody would book dubstep in atlanta. we started doing it, started our own posse, hit the streets, promoted 24/7, and now there is not a big act that hits the states that DOESNT come through atlanta. everyone from appleblim to skream has been here.

put in work.

[JimmaJamJamie]

Atleast he was having a good time. Big up to GLK for keeping lively even if the crowd was dead.

I wonder how much Rusko got for that New York gig .

Because that's where Joe Nice lives, duh...

No Junkyard Band videos Alec?
JYB all day!

....There have most def been more than a few good Dubstep nights in D.C. but they weren't being done with enough consistency and were lacking proper systems.
Steve's Bar Room was the place it could've taken off at but they can make in the neighborhood of 20Gs on a good weekend night at their bar so that's why we got shitty nights like Sunday & Tuesday. The 88 DC guys having Martyn, Headhunter & Ramadanman through was pretty sick but once again the fact that the nights are pretty sporadic doesn't do much in terms of building a scene. That is no knock to them (88 DC) at all b/c I know I sure as F wouldn't be promoting anything pricey in the vicinity of the District.

Portland/Northwest dubstep scene is gettin rowdy! Some of the groovinest and sexiest and bass'inest nights of late have been deep deep step nights. Lovin it!

[_boring]

lol peopl dont know how to dance to dubstep STILL

lol elitists are STILL telling people how to dance!

dont you dare!!!

[Visitor]

on topic though, its fucking silly to go to a dance and not dance! that's why i left jungle in 98, kids stopped dancing and started head nodding and "looking cool"


so fucking boring

some ppl like to hear music on a bangin system or meet people who like the same kind of music

[WatchYourStep]

U kats gotta browl down to ur local dubstep ravez and get ur bro on and see wat ur missin.

I luv fuckin skankin out to some grimey beats that make me want2 fist pump ur mom in her gurny bassface.

If your ears aint bleedin, its home that youll be needing

fuck nyc and their lack of midrange

Sound like a damn hillbilly

[section 8]

what timeslot Gas Lamp Killer had could have greatly influenced the vibe of the crowd, especially if it was early.

[collige]

I suspect the dubstep scene is bigger in Baltimore because:
A. They have a regular event (Dub Nation) with other EDM nights put on by the same promoter (big up Steez!)
B. Baltimore is within driving distance of several universities.

The real question is why Martyn never does any local gigs seeing as he LIVES IN DC!

With that said, more go-go!

[WatchYourStep]

I hate to sound like an internets teeny-bopper, but where can I find something like this?

Is a good start. The Critical Conditon Band album is my personal favorite.

The problem with finding go-go music is that 90% of the tracks are low quality live recordings or covers of top 40, so the never get officially released. They can be found floating around Limewire, Youtube, etc. Wale's mixtapes also have a heavu go-go influence.

The Critical Conditon Band album is my personal favorite.

Of course - the only one out of stock lol. You probably bought their last and only copy
