Someone needs to redo "Garage Girls" you know....

Dubstep girls, dubstep girls, dubstep girls
Dubstep girls, dubstep girls, dubstep girls

I've been all around the world
Seen so many different girls in the clubs (yeah bo)
And dubstep girls are so fine
They're always blowing my mind (yeah bo)
Yeah (dubstep girls)

There's a crew up in this club
As sexy as can be
Scandalous ladies for you to see
Every time I'm in the club
They get me in a zone
I need to find a dubstep girl
Someone to call my own
Looking so sexy when they drop that move
Making the MCs shout out (bo)
Stylish and cool with their clothes on so tight
They're so many dubstep girls up in here tonight

something about mass makes it difficult to not bump into people. i managed to completely miss a mate i've known for 8 years for a full 5 hours in there. that can't be bad eye sight!

Ah yes, the post Radio nosedive into minimalism. I did a little rant about it here. In short, it'll be the end of dubstep creatively once the bass weight-ethos gets a too tight grip on the genre, resulting in every other release sounding like Loefah or Coki - Shattered (that's not meant as a diss to either of them).

I dont really get what you mean by bass weight 'ethos'? The term bass weight itself lends itself to many more types of tune than just Coki style rinse outs. I hear just as much bass weight in one of Shackletons tunes or Distance- delight for example. I think you're wrong, having bass as an underlying staple for this music is not a bad thing, after all its what makes it what it is, the problem comes when producers start mindlessly apeing the most hype and popular tunes around.

Wish it was, ram. I think Deapoh might know, though. He dropped it near the end of his set. Got a wheel. I texted my mate at the time so I can tell you it was 11:18pm.

Any ideas, Deaps?

You miss my point, although we more or less agree. I never said that having bass as an underlying staple is a bad thing. That is after all what the genre builds itself upon. I was drawing a paralell between psy and dubstep minimalism because of one influential trendsetter. Let me break it down a bit:

Trendsetter: X-Dream (psy)/Coki (dubstep)
Ethos: Trance state (psy)/Bass weight (dubstep)
Worst case scenario: producers considering the prime trance state as X-Dream - Psychomachine(psy)/producers seeing prime bass weight as Coki - Shattered (dubstep)

The danger in both scenarios is that the genre is driven into a dead end creatively, as too many producers attempt to mimic the trendsetters. This is after a long period where both genres blossomed creatively and saw numerous groundbreaking releases and different takes on each respective ethos. It happened to psy. I hope history won't repeat itself with dubstep.

Ok, I dont get the Psytrance reference points, I never listen to any.

The rant I mentioned in my previous post:

A good example of things going wrong creatively due to one very influential trendsetter is what happened to goa trance when X-Dream (one of THE leading acts the scene has ever had) released the groundbreaking album Radio. It was full of minimal, dark and abrasive sounds and ideas, a radical opposite of the massively melodic extravaganzas the genre was known for in its early years. In its wake, a massive constituent of the entire scene shifted its focus to mimic X-Dream's minimalistic and technoid approach to goa.
The result was that the entire genre plunged itself into a creative cul-de-sac, where every rave was filled with the same mindnumbingly boring minimalism that was trying desperately (and failing miserably) to attain the same level of impact X-Dream had conjured up. The genre is still recovering from the backlash today.

Well another fucking heavy dance people, thouroughly enjoyed myself after missing the xmas 1. Couldnt believe how rammed the place was by 11 man, i thought. Bare bristolians on the night, shouts to chris and the rest of em for making their noise rival south london's, sorry to the bird who's coat i stomped on at the front!!!

Pokes u were hilarious mate as always, nice 1. I thought skream smacked it, never seen him play so he did well in my book, did anyone see him rage when some1 in the crowd done a pullback and fucked one of his dubs?

I reckon set of the night goes to mr. tectonic again though, i told all my lot that he'd smash it like he did in november and he didnt disapoint, find it mad how the guy structures his set so it just builds and builds. I tried to explain this to him later but i blatantly wasnt making sense.

Bigup to new type for chatting shit with me about stencilling. Mad mission getting home again, fucking livingstone always fucks up the transport system on a dmz weekend!! When i got home for a few post party stellas i had to rinse system again man, that tune absolutely destryoed the place for me. DMZ filling me with enthusiasm for 2thousy7

Thanks Poax. And while we're on the subject, it's often been noticed that the men at dubstep events are very tall. The women on the other hand are the right size.
