If there is a catagory (I wouldnt know as i missed last years awards) for the tune that makes you brock out the most then yeah, but production isnt about making you jump up and down, its about quality. Correct me if i am wrong.

who here will let me vote with my cock? is there some hole in the ballot box that i stick it in? How exactly does this work, and will there be any lasting effects? i'm not sure, if i have to ink up my cock first to vote with it, i may end up voting with my heart instead.

the moderators should really be answering these important questions. they affect everyone on this forum, and we demand answers to the cock-voting issue!

it's funny to see the mods all flustered, makes the whole experience 'real'

jump-up bangers bring more satisfaction to us, because when you're there, on the fckin dancefloor, it's really the pace that matters.
you'll never say "i had a good time 2 months ago, i was alone in my room and listening to a radio show".. you'll always say "OMFG, IT WAS INSANE LAST NITE AT DMZ WHEN COKI DROPPED ROBOTNIK AND ME AND MY MATES WENT BERSERK". i think we should really give the proper credit to those tunes making us move.

I tend to brock out more / dance more when I'm out if the DJ is mixing up deeper bits, more straight up bits, more experimental stuff, whatever. If every track has the same structure and the same sounds it gets boring and I dance less. I go absolutely fucking insane when I hear Mala tunes in a dance, so do a lot of other people it seems.

It really fecks me off when people assume that anyone who wants to hear something other than (or even as well as) pure bangers must be standing at the bar stroking their chins and going "well, the bass is interesting but the post-hegemoniacal rhythmic interventionism of the cowbell part is overly redolent of paleospheric neo-step." The same goes for two step vs choppage in dnb.

Sorry, way off topic there...

lol, nice one. but really, you guys are trying to make it look more complicated than it actually is.
each to his own, nobody can argue that. but at the same time, trying to explain that the songs played by the dj don't (or shouldn't) matter to the crowd as ppl can dance to anything as long as they really want to dance is just a tautology. sure Burial is a great producer, but i have yet to hear an mc saying "brukkout!!" and really meaning it on "Archangel". maybe its all about feeling that spark of brukkoutness, when the beat drops and in that special 1 second you feel like tearing the clothes, doing the uga-chaka-uga, starting a wall-of-death or whatever each one of us likes. i know the brukkoutness may be just a stupid kick, snare or bass drop but i think its one of the greatest inventions in music.

what is this attitude anyway, that banger tunes are for chavs while "smooth, soft and silky" ones are for intellectuals who can truly understand the inner ways of dubstep? why couldn't have "spongebob" won last year?

note : (as you guys might've noticed, i've left "round the world girls" out of the debate).

I didnt mean it was for chavs, i was saying the general dubstep fans, the ones that prefer what you mentioned instead of the moor deeper techno influenced, im just saying that for the best producer of the year, the deeper / techno / dub influenced guys have just as much right to win the award as the next man thats all.

couldn't agree with you more but only if it's true either ways

Everytime a DJ drops Lean FWD, the whole dancefloor empties out and there's about 2 guys in Star Trek shirts stood there holding their lighters in the air

You're the one who's arguing that people responding to a "what's your favorite tune of the year" vote by voting for their favorite tune of the year are doing something wrong...
