does anyone here actually listen to dubstep anymore?

[hugh]

I don't.

[Today]

sure
I listen to classic mixes mostly, some new stuff and offshoots but not really much, some forum members tunes, Wednesd4ry, and i hit up reconstrvct nights in NY

I love dubstep
it's too bad people are too cool for it now
their loss imo

The only dubstep I listen to stems from this forum ie mixes, yt link, sig's ,etc
I do really like listening to it, I just also like other types as well

it's not that, it's just the last 4 or 5 times I went to buy records off of chemical records it was a case of listening to 99 of the same song before finding something halfway decent. It got very tiring

[faust.dtc]

Yeah, dubstep are my favourite band.

no I don't listen to hardly anything these days. Been listening to a bit of Jedi Mind Tricks actually thanks to Hugh's thread, first thing I've listened to in ages.

Don't know if that makes me 'cool' or whatever, probably just old

People that say that other peoples change in music tastes is because they want to be cool says more about that person that the person they are projected their own reasoning on

Chea!!

[wubstep]

Not really, classic mixes & a very few number of new tracks by select artists.

Had a thought the other day though. For Bristol being the '2nd home of dubstep' or whatever, there isn't a single dubstep night here, bar the big Subloaded events (every few months?).

I mean this city has numerous post-dubstep-hip-house nights, 50 jungle/dub nights, a few breakcore/tekno nights etc each month. But I can't think of a single dubstep night, even including bro stuff. People are sick of it.

[capo ultra]

Dubstep is boring if you've been on it for 6 or 7 years. Why would you listen to the same exact thing for that length of time? So people will not accuse of you of being 'cool' i don't know

yeah that is strange. Proper dubstep nights in Newcastle ended a LONG time ago and all we have no is this really quite awful shitty little club that has a brostep night once a week. But it's just not what I am into. Don't get me started on the scene-sters who seem to make up 95% of this nights attendance either.
I feel slightly nostalgic and sad at the same time now

Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened

I don't think I will EVER get bored of Vinnie Paz's crazy delivery and Stoupe's insane beats.



brap brap!

[AxeD]

Nah, I like other music better. It's also really tiring to talk about dubstep.

Still very much alive round these parts though. Proof: Lockdown festival.

[Hedley King]

Depends what you call dubstep, I don't listen to much new stuff your average man on the street would call dubstep, lots of it just seems a bit too generic a copy of stuff I've heard years ago to be really exciting to go and search out other than listening to a few mixes and radio shows. But listen to a lot of stuff that would get labelled as post dubstep and future garage, more techno type stuff too. (I don't like all those names for it- a few years back it'd all just get called dubstep, but guess it does makes it easier to describe)

[magma]

I'll be listening to quite a lot tonight.

Honestly, I'm super pissed at how the identity and sound of dubstep was so completely fucked and ruined by the mainstream. Trying to explain to the 50th person that you like dubstep but not that kind of dubstep, but this kind of dubstep, is simultaneously exhausting and makes you look like a right pretentious twat.

[wolf89]

Yeah I still listen to it a bit still buy it too.

Though last couple sets I've played have been pretty much all grime with a couple other bits thrown in (140bpm rap and some garagey stuff)

[bright maroon]

I do - but I listen to all kinds of stuff.


If I made music though - It would probably sound alot like D+B plus alot of the newer rhythms...for the dance floor.

I think my favorite song recently is The Clapper by Ill Blu.

I think my last dubstep obsession was with Phaeleh, I've been put onto some cool music by a friend recently by somebody called Grimes (I'm sure some of you know her v well) which I am really digging. But yeah, it's not got that solid foundation and core of artists putting quality stuff out anymore. Maybe they got bored too.
