That would be Tactus - Jackals, ABAGA records, one of the local boys

Sure thing, you can check out ABAGA records on myspace music to find the tracks, that's where I got most of them. Alternatively just give me the time and I will tell you!

Dunno lol just sounds like every tracks been knocked up in 5 mins, but no flame wars with music producers plz if you disagree with me then I assume you are correct!

I'm sure there is but you'd be surprised how hard it is to get people involved on a zero budget production, would have loved to get some bigger names on there.



If anyone has NOT been to the bongo club in Edinburgh I recommend getting down there ASAP, awesome dubstep scene, awesome people.. again thanks for the support!

Honestly, I'm not sure about this...

This is a slightly off-centre representation of "dubstep" as a genre/scene. And more-so, a disappointing portrait of Edinburgh's scene.

"There wasn't that much happening to represent dubstep in Edinburgh" - I'm not sure how much I agree with this - there's a bunch of nights, one almost every day of the week now, as well as a host of good producers. No word in the doc of Paranoise, Morphamish, Akira Kiteshi or Neil Landstrumm. No mention of Volume, Coalition, Innuendub or Xplicit. it felt a little like an advert for Abaga and Jungledub. Hardly a fair representation.

From the outset, I don't think the "garagey drumloops" are all UK garage had to contribute to "dubstep" to be fair.

The bongo club is good but it's not a "dubstep club" per say. They have plenty other genres and nights on offer. No mention of the top class messenger Soundsystem hosted there either.

"Glenrothes and Glasgow don't have dubstep" - it's disappointing to hear ill informed pointless vox-pops from pissed-up punters who clearly haven't got much of a clue.

I'm not anti-drugs, but I'm disappointed that they're hyped up so much in relation to a documentary that was seemingly meant to be about the apparent state of dubstep in Edinburgh.
