see, i have no idea what clownstep is...

...but I imagine it's the dnb equivalent of plodstep in breaks

so what do you get when you take the r'n'b out of drum n bass ???

yep thats true. 2step/techstep whatever you want to call it, the no-u-turn records thing, that WAS fresh when it came out, it was absolutely wicked, total change of direction. Then you get certain artists/DJs who i will not mention that pushed that and only that until it became all there was. And they didn't even focus on the good elements of that style, just the awful repetitive rhythms... bah, you can tell i'm bitter about the state of DNB can't ya?

clownstep is mostly pure jump up 2 step breaks with a simple 4/4 or 8/4 wobble bassline. nothing really melodic. But i get influenced by it and bring the wobble in the dubstep matter of taste maybe anyone was earlyer. (for shure)

But none can switch his head off and create from now to then THAT neu style.

The No u turn posse made definitely their own thing, without watching whats in the scene. and nico sykes was earlyer then no u turn a very good musicproducer and sounddesigner. I think thats the reason of the success of no u turn. Brain off, knowledge on.

That's the trick I guess, taking the good stuff, or the stuff you like, and applying it in a creative way. Yeah, i think its probably impossible to do stuff that isn't inspired by something else, although maybe some weird modern day caveman out there somewhere that hasn't been discovered yet is making completely original music. Now that would be something. No doubt radio one would give him a show and suddonly he's the next bond villian and driving around in a gold mercedes. Pfff

Oh yes, the Mad Gold teethed Mad Villain in Mercedes Benz. or was it BMW? I forgot

Well, I forgot the really big portion of LUCK and upper Self Opinion and of course, Hard Work and tight connections 2 professional people they think of you and work on your Ideas. The Press is also an important way 2 image you as artist or scene



and we shuld work on ourselves

I think that quite a lot of Skreams stuff sounds like 'Clownstep', which I dont mind at all because I love wobbly stuff.
My 2pence is that ive heard more originality in the last 3 Months in Dubstep than I have in 3 years listening to Drum n Bass.
I still love my old DnB and certain producers like Breakage/Amit/Paradox etc, but mostly now it just sounds too noisey to me....and I like Breakcore!

Im fed up with peeps comparing dub-step to dnb as if to say that dnb is inferior. At the end o the day bottom line is if hardcore/jungle/dnb didnt exist this music would not be here standard! Another thing is this, take a look at dnb, its globalaly smakin it, it has had its bullshit and dramas yet its still here and bigger then ever, every scene has crap in it, thats the way it goes, it just helps us to identify the good from the bad.
It seems to me some peeps are sore cos they can't get in to dnb as artists, im not denying that its hard to get into but if u think by comin in2 dubstep u will smak it quicker guess again. Music is music, production is production - fuck the genre if your sub standard then its you that has to work harder not the scene.
Bandwagonism is a term that is applied to people who for one reason or another didn't cut it in the scene they were in so they saw a genre which is moving and goin places and try to get on it. I could mention a few names here from other genres but i won't and if you get pissed off with this comment u need to ask yourself why.
So when peeps say dnb heads are jumpin on the band wagon, who? V recordings gang, ed rush, optical, bad company, movin fusion, pendulem, twisted etc these guys make shit hot music what reason would they have to do that other than its a new area of expression in music for them to explore if they choose to. Thier scene is as valid as ours and they rep it properly.
It seems to me that the danger here is when the fans become dictators. Who are you to say and govern wot is wot and how things should be done? if u feel that strongly get the program and start workin like the rest of us to build a rich n full scene free of small minded bickering and focus' on the most important aspect...the music

nuff said. Thats it.

I find it funny how they say that dubstep is just a fad and when it dies those junglists will come back to dnb ! .........Mmmh I don't think so !

Big up to all the junglists feeling dubstep ( even the mighty skosh is here )...

I say that all these junglists deserting dnb is just a sign of times !

haha i'm not mighty or jumping ship

just like lots of different styles and i still love my hard dnb

I love me some wobble!

...gotta hear this, who's got a link to a clownstep mix ???

I can upload some clips of clownstep tunes for you

yeah gwan then Intoccabile...

...I'll probably like it

I loves me some wobble...

methinks there's a mite too much wobble in most dubstep...

No need to upload tunes as there's tons of it on DOA - audio section

Nightwalker - Mayhem : http://www.dogsonacid.com/system/play.p ... MubXAz.m3u

Nightwalker - Rush : http://www.dogsonacid.com/system/play.p ... 1wMw==.m3u

Nightwalker - revenge : http://www.dogsonacid.com/system/play.p ... 1wMw==.m3u

And there's a clownstep mix floating around on the board or booth section

And get this... Crissy Criss - on the motorway : http://www.dogsonacid.com/system/play.p ... 1wMw==.m3u

Good for a laugh

But there's some good wobble, it's not all bad !

Just uploaded this : http://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1ICA ... VS0O58ZS2B

fuck me that is so close to being dubstep it's not funny !!!

...no wonder d'n'b producers are finding it so easy to do dubstep

they prolly got shitloads of sub par tunes that just need to be pitched down to 140bpm, chuck the wack rolling beat away, put in a half step then dress it up again...

...i can see the true 2step/breaks inpired dubstep becoming squeezed in favour of lowest common denominator stuff being produced to satisfy the nu converts

and the convert d'n'b producers bringing their own fanbase across as well...

like "oh tech itch is into it and making it so it must be good..."

...errr use your own fucking judgment fella

be easy to cash in on your hi dnb profile if you was to broaden your genre production to include dubstep so they'd be stupid to change identities...

...which is weird when you get true break/dubsteppas being all mysterious about making stuff that doesn't fit the mould of their previous efforts

then again we're thinknig of reincarnating as well to allow for our more spiritual side

Some production methods are shared by dnb and dubstep producers... I think the similarities end there.
