getting into dubstep

[Virvo]

I live in Belgium and dubstep recently started to grow popular around here. All these so called alternative people suddenly all seemed to like it so I thought it possibily was just another hype. But then I went to this dubstepparty last weekend and I actually really liked it. A lot of reggaeinfluences I liked.

I'm hoping you guys could help me out on what to listen to as a solid base. Not just the popular names you stumble upon you know. I know people like me probably come to frustrate you here all the time and there always is wikipedia and the such, but I don't like to rely on things like that cause I could end up listening to the pussycat dolls of dubstep just because an article says they're popular..

Thanks for any help, appreciate it

You can't go wrong with Digital Mystikz. Popular for a reason.

Dubstep is pretty broad.


You've got the techno influenced stuff: Martyn, T++, 2562, Ghostleigh, Scuba,

You've got the heavier stuff like Caspa, Rusko, Bar9, some Skream, some Benga.

You've got the deep and dark stuff: Pangaea, Burial.

You've got the 'future garage' stuff: Shortstuff, Sully, Joy Orbison, Martin Kemp, Pangaea again maybe

You've got the purple, electronic stuff: Joker, Guido, Gemmy.

Mount Kimbie, Headhunter, Instra:mental, Data, Ramadanman, Geiom, Mala, Brackles.

P.S if you like Raggae tinged stuff check-out the War Dubs series

As said before, dubstep can be really diverse, and there's lots of hybrids between genres.

I really dig everything on the new Hyperdub (5 Years of Hyperdub) compilation. Everything on these two albums is fresh, original and experimental in a certain way. Look for Kode9, Burial, Flying Lotus, Quarta 330, Zomy, Martyn, King Midas Sound/The Bug...

These are some other artists that really makes it for me. Some of them are simply really good, unique sounding dubstep artists, while others are music makers heavily inspired by dubstep and glitch-hop but making something kinda different: Heyoka, Spoonbill, Beats Antique, Eskmo, Tipper, Vibesquad, Boxcutter, Sub Swara...

In Belgium eh?

You definitely owe it to yourself to check out Brussels' own freshness provider, the man, the myth, the legend...BunZer0.

His show's on SUB FM, Thursdays 6-8pm GMT. He plays a lot of Belgium local producers, and the best of the deeper stuff from around the globe.
