Raves are absolutley livid !

It gets to the point where u wana go to every dub event going.

Even jugglin btween 2 venues a night @ times

Quite a bit gets released, saleswise; im sure its VERY healthy.

Dubtep's also doing very well outside LDN & Internationally.. so much support.

Hope this helps

i'd say the raves aren't MANY yet, aside from london. but they're fucking addicting.

i think the only places where dubstep is getting popular other than london is NYC and perhaps sweden, as far as i know.

record sales seem to be doing real well considering the fact that whenever i want to find a hot record it usually sells out within a day or less from all the stores, the problem in my opinion is they aren't making enough of them.

on the events page there is NOTHING FOR CHICAGO.
i would be happy to get this started, 'cept as a gallery owner who has just reached my first year anniversary, i cant afford to buy records and start spinning myself.

i should be an agent of sorts and get something started.
allrise is an art gallery, event space, and a travelers inn.

You can hear Dubstep most nights of the week in Bristol, be it a full Dubstep night, at a bar, or a an hour set at a Reggae/Dubstep/Jungle night. Leeds is big aswell, its not just healthy in London. Most of the UK has some idea of what it is.

East london too.

this area has a reputation for being really wanky and poncey

And it is true

But there are a select few of us who know the beats and are in to the riddm

And that is where the dubstep kicks in.

I live about 50metres from plastic people. How fucking nice is that. FWD. is like going from the living room to the kitchen to get another dragon stout.
