HAPPY dubstep / POSITIVE dubstep
Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 9:56 pm
Greetings all you bass junkies.
Where are the happy dubstep tunes? Where are the dubstep tunes with a positive vibe? I started spinning dubstep about 2 years ago and I'm about ready to give up and move on. The reason? I can't find enough positive tunes. Most of the tunes all follow a similiar vibe, the best I can describe this vibe is epic, deep, abstract, filthy, hard, aggressive energy.
Example, had a bbq this past sunday and me and a friend (who i turned onto dubstep) were tag teaming a set of dubstep. I had like 20 friends over, but my parents were there too. My wife and mom came over to us from the kitchen and said can you play stuff that isnt so dark and weird. To be honest, I was thinking the whole time during the set that its only a matter of time before someone is going to come up and ask for a changeup, so i knew what they wanted before they even made it to the dj booth. I can kind of sense it in the air when music doesnt fit the time or place. It was an absolutely beautiful day, sun was shining, 75 deg fareinheit, the smell of food cooking, people laughing and drinking rum, kids playing in the yard, dog catching a frisbee. So you can imagine that kromestar and benga tunes do not really fit in all of this.
There were a few tunes that DID fit perfect, and they are in my "happy" folder on my laptop. Problem is, I only have a total of like 4 tunes:
6blocc - true love remix:

The Widdler vs Collie Budz - come around:

The Widdler - Positive Vibes (HD4000 remix):

The Widdler - Sunday:

"The Widdler - Sunday "was so perfect for the occassion it should probably be an anthem for future bbqs at my house because the lyrics specifically mention a sunday (which was the day the bbq was held) with peeps over (true) having a bbq (true) and its happy (true, everyone was happy that day).
Look guys, I understand you dubbers want to keep it underground. But I get the feeling there is a worldwide conspiracy. I picture all the dubstep producers adhere to this global secret unwritten rule that you must not release x number of happy songs per year because it will cause the genre to get too much exposure. Like if a producer "breaks the code" they will be summoned to face the elder's tribal council and be banished to eternity.
Can you guys please list tunes that are similiar in sound and vibe as the ones I've listed? It would be much appreciated. Thank you kindly,
