It's funny the way people go on about this place. If they have a bad experience here, usually through fault of their own, the whole forum is shit, and everyone there is an "uptight nerd". What a joke. I've got loads done musically thanks to this place, and it HAS been a platform for those things.I wish it was a more loving hub, though. This could have been the platform for some wonderful collaboration, shared gigs, and great music.
I agree, this forum is probably the best when it comes learning how to produce as there is a thread for pretty much anything. Like you said, the only people who don't like it are those who have brought it upon themselves, usually by their arrogance..garethom wrote:It's funny the way people go on about this place.

+1 for myself, and I have had plenty of negative feedback to go along with that as well.garethom wrote:It's funny the way people go on about this place.

Nappy was on here for years (DH even apparently went and made a drunken thread about him in 07Great list Nappy... I'd dissagree on DSF a little bit, but only because I know we both had drastically different experiences on there. If met some great people and was actually exposed to other genres like Skweee, UK Funky, and some Juke (pre footwork revalation), but I do agree there were some closed minded cats on there. I think the biggest fault DSF had (other than shunning the thugstep as a step forward) was not allowing the early "filth" a new genre name. True, 'dubstep' the term may not have gotten as big but it wouldnt have been drawn through the mud the way it has either. Instead we had 25 page threads on how subgenres were going to kill the genre when they probably would have sved its integrity - no one thinks of clownstep when you say dnb anymore.

Oh dear...
What did DSF do wrong?
yep. EDM is just a symptom of a broader consumer culture. people don't like music that they aren't familiar with. it puts them out of their comfort zone and makes them feel awkward.kidshuffle wrote:I think all his points are pretty spot on in this article. His whole thing about booking agencies, visas and venues are the truth. A lot of us promoters lost a lot of money in the early days trying to push original sounds and had to make up for that some how. "EDM" got more people interested in coming to our shows, but only if we brought what they thought was dubstep...and thus we are where we are today (or rather where we were in 2011).

yeah but why should we be this ain't new sound forum is it m8kidshuffle wrote: when has DSF really been accepting of new sounds, especially in the General Forum?
I think people would be pissed off at calling DnB techno, or jungle as hardcore etc. Like calling Skrillex 'dubstep' was a particularly bad influence; even he said he didn't make it, it was just the hype machine built around him that decided to do so so to take advantage of it's popularity at the time.Mason wrote:yeah but why should we be this ain't new sound forum is it m8kidshuffle wrote: when has DSF really been accepting of new sounds, especially in the General Forum?
