“I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers-- who I can't even be bothered naming-- have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there's this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It's a million miles away from the ethos of it. It's been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that's not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I'm concerned.”

Yes but it's always nice when someone well known speaks out on it, like when Blackdown tore into it on his blog.

^^ what pistonsbeneath said.
I wonder what it is you guys expected. He wasn't asked to say the coolest, obscurest, realest and most soulful thing you've ever heard. Just his opinion. Leave the philosophical shit to guys like burial.

he's right and he's wrong, basically. and who cares what he thinks his music is dull as ditchwater.
