What is it about this scene and the music that you love?

[JimmaJamJamie]

Scene: For me it's the fact that you can look anyway you choose to and dress whatever way you choose and no-one cares. Everyone is just there for the music not to impress anyone or to look for fights or anything like that. Also i have never felt comfortable dancing (as i am male and i just can't do it) but Skanking in the dance feels well natural and i don't really care if i look like an idiot to people. I am enjoyed the music and moving to it the way i want.

Everyone is just in there own world enjoying the music!

Music: The fact of how diverse and the amount of different influences in it is ridiculous. If i want to listen to some deep, chilled music i don't have to go into any other genre's i can just put on some Burial/Clubroot/Synkro etc. On the flip to that i could want to get well hyped up and just go mental so would put some Coki/Skream/16Bit/Goth-Trad etc. But thats not the only two spectrum's of it. There's everything inbetween aswell: Deep, Dark, Happy, Sad, Weird, Mental...

I have never known a genre that incorporates so much other genre's within it. It's the most diverse music i have ever heard and i can't get enough of it .


So yeah, what is it about the whole Dubstep scene and what is it about the music that you love?

Love the bass weight off a good system, love the tempo it's just right, love skanking to it, love the vibe in most dubstep raves, love the community feel, love that it's so diverse. It's just great innit!

[abs]

i enjoy it because it's current and there's allways new tunes coming out, and it takes influences from everything so there's allways a bit of this and a bit of that y'know.. also 140bpm is a good speed.

as for the scene, i'm unaware of it, i've come from a background of raves not club nights so to me everyone just dressess like a twat and gets fucked up on drugs.. i dunno what people look like at dmz or fwd nights.

[godflesh fiend]

Personally I just like some of the music because when I go to Dubstep gigs I feel old.

I love the fact that for a relitavley slow music, it has so much power behind it. The bass is so powerful even on the more chilled stuff, in a club you just cant escape it (the bass pounding your body that is). From Breakage to Coki it all makes your bones shake. Then the space & time in the drums top it all off nicely.

I FUCKIN LOVE DUBSTEP ITS WICKED!!!!

I love all the complaining and back biting and negativity.

the many moods of dubstep...

the most diverse genre of music ive heard.

i know many people say this, but it really is true. all the artists in this loose boundary of "dubstep" are making some of the best music i've heard in years. and i say loose boundary but there really is no boundary...

also love this genre due to the emphasis on engineering some of the deepest basslines known to modern music (i.e. RSD!)

the feeling i get from a sick tune with sub bass pumping through a massive system is honestly spiritual

[seckle]

the sub and the bpm are MAJOR factors.

dnb/jungle 170-180
trance 160

breaks 135-150
2step 135-140
house 120-135
techno 140-150
calypso/soca 120-140
broken beat 140-150
uk garage - 125-135

hip hop 85-100
dancehall 85-100
dub 60-80

look at the size of that middle^ group. halftime 140 is 70, so all those hip hop/dancehall/reggae people understand it too. probably 80% of all the clubgoers worldwide are dancing at 70-140. you don't have to look far to understand why dubstep took off the way it did.

precisely this...

the past few weeks ive been buying popular remixes and chilled/non wobble dubstep tunes as ive got my first set soon to a non-dubstep crowd, however i whacked Bar 9 - 'Pussyhole' on just now and it kinda made me realise just what the dubstep genre does for me, i listened to nothing but metal between ages 12-20 and now cant say ive listened to anything but dubstep for over a year, people on here have said before that its easy to get bored just listening to one genre of music: i honestly disagree with that statement with my evidence being the dubstep genre.

not to be picky but isnt trance normally 140ish aswell? Otherwise, this is exactly one of the reasons why i love this genre, can mix in so much different stuff all under the same bpm umbrella; it leads to good djs being able to make endlessly creative sets, and can tie dubstep back in with its influences, or jus mix with the good tunes from other genres. Jus shows the even more diverse nature of what was already an incredibly varied sound.

[milksnake]

i love the amount of music that comes out. i love how many mixes are on here and other sites and how there is new tunes from the best producers every fucking week.
