does anyone here actually listen to dubstep anymore?

[mks]

I tried to go to some dubstep shows last year but all I got was House.

[sigbowls]

same but it was hip hop kinda glitchhop but not that good

[volcanogeorge]

Not really, classic mixes & a very few number of new tracks by select artists.

Had a thought the other day though. For Bristol being the '2nd home of dubstep' or whatever, there isn't a single dubstep night here, bar the big Subloaded events (every few months?).

I mean this city has numerous post-dubstep-hip-house nights, 50 jungle/dub nights, a few breakcore/tekno nights etc each month. But I can't think of a single dubstep night, even including bro stuff. People are sick of it.

yeah that is strange. Proper dubstep nights in Newcastle ended a LONG time ago and all we have no is this really quite awful shitty little club that has a brostep night once a week. But it's just not what I am into. Don't get me started on the scene-sters who seem to make up 95% of this nights attendance either.
I feel slightly nostalgic and sad at the same time now

you on about the cut? it's pretty shite, but WHQ still has decent nights on

[Aurokh]

Check out ital tek

It makes me sad that I've only just heard Pixel Haze. Thanks for the tip!

[wolf89]

I'm going to a dubstep tonight

I will hear dubstep, grime, uk funky, garage, house, Rap/trap whatever and footwork and juke. Multi genre nights are what it's about

yes I am on about the cut.
WHQ I have no time for whatsoever either. Were you there that time Distance was meant to be playing and because there weren't 150 people in the club by 11 or some stupid crap like that everyone got thrown out with no refund (it was £15)?
so yeah, fuck Worldies.

[topmo3]

don't really listen to it that much, except on the radio. still like to hear new sounds and what not

nah when was that? sounds mad

i've played to about 50 people there before and the night still went on

it was ages ago tbh, back when Heavyweight was sort of up and coming and hadn't got a proper regular venue yet. The whole thing was a joke like. One of me mates chucked a ciggarette machine down some stairs cos he was so pissed off. I fuckin legged it at that point lmao.

fucking hell!

been to plenty of nights there and never had a bad experience like that, attendance can sometimes be pretty low but they're fairly niche events anyway

Old mixes mostly, still get some new mixes and follow a few artists and labels. Still go to support the same artists I've gone to see for years now. Most recently DMZ, and they were just as good as they were 1 year ago and 6 years ago. They played the same dubs they've been playing for years sprinkled with new tracks, like some of the Cuba album. Skream, Benga, Hatcha, N-Type recently too... always play a good selection of new dubs mixed with the classics. So if I wanna hear new tracks, I usually check their sets or mixes out.

Caught a break there, you didn't even have to pay extra?

[ketamine]

I dont know about you guys but I only listen to burial now.

I'm even bored of him.

[esfandyar]

does anyone here actually listen to dubstep anymore?

yes, still fond of the dark neuro and roots stuff.

Ha Ha. The city I was living in at the time was flooded with House, so I actually wanted to hear some Dubstep. Out of sets from Scuba, 2650 (I always forget dudes number ), Ramadanman, Zed Bias and probably others, I think I only heard one Dubstep track.

It's almost like House and Techno is what people graduate to after awhile.

burial has better things to do than make music these days, he's to busy remaining unknown and such

[vincent 2 fly]

Youngsta mixes mostly. Been listening to more Dbridge's autonomic/dnb as of late. His 5hr set at Fabric was massive.

[nousd]

I replay Garage Pressure tapes over & over from which I omit the bro nods
so I'm always listening to proppa ds & garage
apart from occasional electronica/minimal broadcasts
which tend to make dubstep sound fresh

sounds like we're lucky in Sydney
apart from the one big establishment pushing infantile moombah & noise
there are several crews still putting on nights largely about dubstep
in small venues with good to great systems
(with a little bit of techstep, dnb, grime, dub techno & funky thrown in but keeping it psychedelic)

still the best music I've ever heard.

[nousd]

+
imo there's no excuse to be bored by dubstep
there's so much variety in the body of work
for instance, go listen to Desto's Cold VIP and tell me that bass doesn't colour life.
X thousands

[collige]

I still listen to it, it's just hard to find releases that aren't bro or samey dungeon nowadays. Grime, on the other hand, is where it's fucking at. The new Preditah EP is fire.
