Yea I honestly believe egos and pretentiousness are enough to kill a scene. Can you explain/define "uneducated" and "disposable" and "substance"? If I read you correctly, you're judging a producer's level of education by his productions? bit pretentious, no? And to me, disposable, and substance are words of opinion, honestly all music is disposable and will be disposed of and forgotten at some point. Frankly, I bet Mala is just as annoyed as you and many others with the direction dubstep has taken but the difference between you guys and Mala is that he doesn't sit around and complain about it all day. He doesn't call out the producers he hates. He just pushes the sound he digs and praises the artists he likes. It's that positive atmosphere that attracted me to dubstep years ago.

The only contributions many of the people on these boards make is the constant whining and complaining. All this does is create an unwelcome atmosphere that screams hostility and elitism. This is pretentiousness. This is how dubstep is represented to the rest of the world who reads these forums.


Lol and I'm not defending Excision. I'm defending the thought that a lot producers need to be looked at a little more closely before writing them off as something they're not.

So you are making the argument that producers ought to know thier history, which I wouldn't disagree with but again that's not the point. The point is how you treat someone for not knowing something you know. Scoffing at someones naivety like a bigot doesn't help anyone. Couldn't I apply your mentality towards someone (perhaps you) for not knowing the origins of jungle music? Or for not knowing classic songs from which jungle music samples from. Or for not knowing the first DJ that spun a 33rpm hip hop record at 45rpm to give that "sped up" jungle sound. For not knowing the origins hip hop music and its key players. For not knowing reggae pirate station history and its influence on hip hop. For not knowing reggae music's key players and songs. This can go all the way back to how music started, key musicians, Africa, Pythagoras etc etc etc.

Why scoff? It would be far more helpful for you to tweet at him and say "here's a link to that classic Dillinja tune, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

It's all relative to the listener. My parents listen to Indian Classical music (imo some of the most complex music out there) and they think dubstep is "whack."
