funky and footwork/juke is the future.

I thought juke or 'juking' was when someone got stabbed?

OH MANS STEP TO ME AND YOU WILL GET JOOKED!!

jookin is american slang for a type of dance, i think its from chicago

Since the early forms up until now, the growth of this music has been phenomenal. Think about how far the reach of dubstep has become, its infiltrated a hell of a lot of different genres from techno to broken beat to house to breaks to dnb etc etc. The bigger something gets the more impossible it gets to please everyone with every tune/artist/label etc but thats just how things work in general, you cant stop it and why would you want to. Some of the best edm producers on the planet are making dubstep under it's various guises and forms right now.

Spread out and Conquer!!!!!

Straight loln at folks that get bitter due to its direction. I'm not going to speak like I've been into it from the start, but whats wrong with it going "mainstream"? Saying that now is a bit premature as I doubt Rusko will chart well, and what dubstep track has ever really done well in the chart? (Not being condescending, I genuinely don't know )

you suck

I rememeber back in bristol around that time when dubstep was getting played at raves, and whenever it was mentioned the phrase 'it's not rave' always came about, basically, it wasn't energetic enough to dance to, I thought back then to my self producers really should try and make it something with tons of energy to justify it being played... I like the fact 'brostep' is around now. you got dubstep for home and dubstep for mashing your head

brostep got droped down from heaven

all the retards started to like it then everyone except hot girls

im feeling the change dubstep will allways have its root / true sound of minimal sparse beats but you gotta love what people are doing with it at the moment

propa to

koansound
16bit
birdy
akira tekshi
and all dutty peeps worl wize

140ish some bass of some sort and its all good (just no more pop remixs plz !)_

Shit aint as good as it was, simple, it may be BIGGER but it aint as good.

too many producers that havnt bothered learning their trade, researching the music and releasing generic, by the numbers skitz out change every 16 bars bullshit. To me there are only a couple of producers that make the big room sounds well and bring in genuine musical elements combined with great production. The scene has totally moved on and left all of the fans that loved it behind thinking, what the hell happened?!

but i still like to call future garage dubstep so thats maybe why i still enjoy dubstep a lot

i just still enjoy dubstep as garage, grime, future garage, - everything between 135 and 145 is dubstep for me (makes life more easy)

how can this sound anything like dubstep

thats what i like about dubstep, it can be so different
people are scared about things they dont recognise but for me that was the beauty of dubstep, you are free to do what you want as long as its 135-145 bpm and has a lot of bass...

all that genre thinking makes me sad
should have called it UK Bass music (or something genereal) from the start

amen brother, whether it be called jungle, 2 step, garage, dubstep, or some of the more silly names like future garage or (i can't believe people still try to use the term) funky, it's still just bass music. it's when we try to decide what's what, that the creativity gets stifled and lines are drawn.

that's when when people ask me what i play, i just say dance music with bass. to say, "i listen to future garage now" or something along those lines is like saying, "i only listen to one tiny sliver of a huge genre that's been growing and mutating since the late 80's/early 90's"

when i make a remark like, "it's all dubstep", it's just my way of saying that it's all the same music, with different ideas being applicated to it
regardless of what a bunch of internet nerds (myself included) decide what to call it


also, let's dissolve the tempo guidelines

too restricting

it's not like our sets stay in one tempo range (if you're creative, that is)
