never heard anything like it before that
Haha!! I remember the first time I heard Rubber Chicken too!! Was with my mate driving down Edgware Road, going to play poker at the Vic, and I took home a big win after a marathon 8 hr game, and I had it on repeat in my head!
Love how music reminds you of certain times init!

For me personally, I didn't get INTO dubstep, it was a natural progression from the darker side of garage.
Yeah was gonna say, this question gets asked on the forum a lot but for me it wasn't one tune in particular, natural progression as was into jungle, techno and garage a since as long as I can remember and at the start its not like there was one sudden moment that dubstep born..... although I remember listening to rinse one night and it was a deeper sounding grime set without any MCs, went out of my way to try and track down that sort of stuff. Probably DJ Wonder 'what' was perhaps the first record I bought that you'd call dubstep rather than dark garage or a grime instrumental, Toasty 'the knowledge' was the one that got me a bit obsessed with the sound!
still sounds amazing:

Zinc's a badman, before Dubstep properly hit I was a massive fan of all the breaksy beats he was doing as Jammin, or the promo's that went out with the different Nikes on, TN's, Shox, etc...
Remember Hypes - Naughty beats?? Ooof, they was naughty alright!!!

Rubber chicken was one of the first dubstep tracks i loved.
that wobble still knocks me back each time i listen it. and Big Headed Slags by Caspa.
i seriously think these tracks need a revival!!! most people only seen to remember the old dmz stuff.
caspa's back catalogue is underrated IMO. For The Kids too. badmaaaan
i was just checking out this "new sound" in 05 when it was getting just a tiny lil buzz on forums, i just wanted to know what it was so i could not like it, like every other genre besides dnb. But i came to find every few songs on some of the mixes were really good but surounded by wobbly stuff i wanst really feeling. Eventually i heard a tune with some nice mids and amen and i had to know what it was, did some rooting around and found it to be Skream-Lightning. It really opened my eyes to what the genre could but not nessecarily what it was so i just did more and more listening and by late 06 i was making it and becoming deeper and deeper in love with it. Still 100% love dnb but dubstep is definitly a focus.
First I was shown was Burial...but then I got the Benga Essential Mix and a Benga & N-Type session from 2007...Benga did it for me.
I did a set a month or so back and played like 6 benga tunes in a row. 26 Basslines, Night, The Cut, Pleasure, One Million. Everything from that Diary Afro era was gold to me. Invasion EP is essential, but too many people I know diss on the Diary stuff claiming Invasion is better. Sif.
or skream's essential mix
and never went back
