Before i produced dubstep i dabbled in house. However i feel like dubstep is the perfect fit for me because it allows me to be as creative as i want and to collect new influences and show them through my work. I could never really get into house or DnB because (and this is my opinion) i feel that no matter how unique i try to be it sounds like everyo other track out there. With dubstep, everything has the ability to be unique and there really is no set rules for it, being such a young genre and all. i like how songs by Skrillex (mah bwoy
) can be in the same genre as songs by benga. shows a lot of variability.

lots of metal: pantera/meshuggah/cryptopsy/slayer etc.
for some reason dubstep has that same feeling of aggression and thats why I love it

No matter how much I listen to aggro, filthy, midrange tunes, i never understand this analogy, i cant see how the have ANYTHING in common... Breakcore and metal sure... gabba n metal kinda... aggrotech, dark dnb... I just dont see it in filth.

the patterns of the bass lines in more aggressive dubstep tunes are similar to a lot of metal riffs, i think thats what it is for me.

the way patterns and rhythms change up, dotted note and triplets. fast music (140 bpm plus) with a half time feel. aggressive midrange distortion (guitars in the case of metal). its all over the place with dubstep and metal.

I trust that YOU can hear similarity's, same as I might here similarity's to hiphop and IDM in it that youd never see, just saying I dont see it lol. Its cool man, thats what makes music so awesome, we can all hear different potentials from it, all put our own perspectives too it, and yeah.
140's not fast though, cmon, hardcore anybody?

I engineered on the last Fear Factory record, there wasnt a single song under 200bpm
that was pretty fast

It's been said before in the thread but metalcore,

im leaning towards a similar development...
btw ur sig is very very very pleasing to listen to!
As for me... i used to be a very serious and dedicated hip hop beatmaker... for like close to a decade... full on.. and tried a lot of things in that field...
i still see myself as that tho
.. things overlap.
