What got you into dubstep?

I was just curious to see how all you other dubsteppers out there got into and involved in the dubstep community, whether a listener or a producer.
I personally was at a club in sydney and the dj dropped caspa - where's my money (cheesy i know, but still a goodie)
i had never heard dubstep before that. but when the track dropped the whole club vibrated, including my whole body.
thats when i knew i loved dubstep.
What about you?
Why dubstep?

Got given a Cd with Rusko's cockney knees up mix a couple of years ago and the introduction started there haha, only just started producing towards the beginning of this year...

yeah bro same, i heard caspa a little while ago.
it was only 4 months ago that i started to fully dedicate my time to producing my own.
(sorry to any admins, i have no idea why this thread posted twice.)

Heard this a long ass time ago, when someone recommended Skream to me out of the blue. Never heard dubstep before then, but when that sub hit my 15 year old self shit his pants.

Very similar to above poster.

Except I definitely shit my pants before the bass dropped.

First track i heard was Night in a proper mainstream club. But being from Croydon it wasnt long before i heard a load more stuff, and probs Midnight Request Line that truely got me into it. Altho the last vinyl i ever bought was Artwork - Red EP, altho thats not strictly dubstep.

I was mesmerised by this the first time I heard it. It was a slow path for me, dubstep and I didn't fully devote myself to it until a year or two later.

Accidentally downloaded Skream's Essential mix in 2007. I thought it was dnb or something like that. After that i started to listen Dubstep.

Thank you Skream.

Know it's just a sample, but this was sort of what got me into Dusbtep. Along with Eastern Jam and Guilty (Plastician Remix).
