Dubstep.net

Does anyone here use this site regularly? It doesn't seem likely to me, if I'm honest not one of the tunes on the front page actually sound like Dubstep to me. And it's part of the 'the EDM network' so read into that what you will.

But it is ranked real high and has popular facebook, soundcloud and so on. Who's brave enough to admit a subscription?!

I've got them subscribed on my SoundCloud and for me, it's kind of a pick and mix of songs; some of them are cookie-cutter Skrillex-a-like tracks that I don't tend to pay much attention to - at the same time, some of the tunes are really good and worth listening to so I'm always happy to sift through some of the crap to get to the gems

There's also something in 'The EDM Network' called "KeepDeep" which is more interesting Dubstep stuff (but that's just on SoundCloud, not an actual website)...

[Taiken]

gosh, terrible music on this site, brrrrr

[alphacat]

It's almost like some marketing type said "we don't need to know what 'the dubstep' is: we'll just post up a bunch of shit by lackeys who say their shit is dubstep, or probably call their shit 'dub' unironically/unknowingly... we will create content and call it dubstep and THEY WILL BUY IT hahahahahaha!"

And they're colonizing every genre that has even a bit of Google stats hype.

Seems almost like they're just using these unsigned nobodies as fodder for the aforementioned scheme. None of those folks are signed to any reputable imprint AFAICT, at least on dubstep.net.

Where my hackers at?

BTW, on the "mother" site - EDM.com - all of the content is being put together by a very small crew it looks like. The guy who put together the Chill Trap playlist is the same guy who put together Progressive House Gems (a triple oxymoron if ever there was one)...

I really think this is an outfit that's trying to bottle & market a zeitgeist by creating fluff that 13 year olds will find most easily and rebranding "their" dubstep as dubstep proper. Like, bypassing pesky things like the existing community & networks.

I'm not big into the music they support like most have said above, but I have seen some pretty good articles regarding the dance music genre in general...like this one for example:
