Ideas For a Newbee

[steiney]

Hello all,

I have frequent heard dubstep music that I really enjoy, but every time I try downloading some, it's never like what I heard on TV or wherever else. I always hear that "all-out-craziness, balls-to-the-wall, melt-your-brain-liqeuify-your-ear-drums" type of dubstep, but I never know the artist names, so I am never able to find that song or other songs by that artist later.

So, I am hoping someone with some experience in the world of dubstep will point me in the right direction. I am not at all into lyrics, and I absolutely LOVE bass, so anything that lacks lyrics and focuses more on the actual music is preferred. Like I said before, I am looking for the type of dubstep that doesn't hold back and gets buck-wild crazy.

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

All the best,

steiney

Check out the sticky, plenty of great to tunes there.

That thread shouldn't be a sticky, it's unusable. Or someone should edit it to be titles and URLs

[steiney]

Thanks. I took a quick look and didn't see the sticky you're referring to. I didn't look in the music section, though. I actually did some more googling after I got the douchey reply from that other guy and found an assload of recommendations. I should be able to take it from here, what with the various music finding websites that offer suggestions to similar music and all.

A good shout would be to find a producer you like, then look up their mixes, and refer to tracklists.

Or try looking by label... here's a few to get you going

DMZ
Blackbox
Deep Medi
Osiris
Chestplate
Tectonic
Tempa
Boxclever
Hyperdub

Douchey reply?

I posted one of the the most bassy tune to come out of dubstep in the past 12 years.. maybe you should look for brostep forum

[steiney]

That's weird. I listened to the track and it was practically ambient music. I'm on a laptop so I couldn't hear the bass, but that track was the polar opposite of what I'm looking for. I just figured you were trying to be a dick. My apologies if not.

[Marcus]

Dubstep plus laptop speakers don't go, you are seriously missing out. Hook it up to your hifi or decent cans.
The amount of sub on horror show is nuts.

I think you maybe looking for brostep.

What shit, specifically? I genuinely don't know what you're referring to.

Haha! God forbid I don't have subwoofers in my laptop! Seriously though, they are in my vehicle, which is the only place I listen to music other than at concerts. If asking a question in a forum and stating my intense love for bass while simultaneously not having my laptop (at work, mind you) hooked up to subwoofers makes me a troll, then by golly, I guess I'm a troll.

[DJoe]

have a look around the forum and google brostep and youll see why ppl think your trolling.

[DRTY]

basically, listen to a Skrillex track. If you like that, you generally won't get a great response on here (to put it lightly)

[steiney]

Wow, I understand completely now. I didn't realize I was more accurately looking for "brostep" music. Just did a little listening, and that is definitely what I was looking for. Sorry to have offended everyone. I just genuinely didn't know that brostep was even a thing. Thanks for the help and helping me find brostep.

[DJoe]

lol

[steiney]

I can't believe you guys don't like that stuff. It's so in your face and involved. That's the kind of music that keeps me on the edge of my seat. And I just came across a bit of "Glitch Hop" as well. Pretty similar to Brostep, I guess. Oh well. To each their own.
