Benga is gonna be quality, intimate affair. Can't wait!

Klaxons remix killed it that night, not everyones cup of tea, but a tune that makes dubstep accessable to a wide range of people. I like bootlegs and rmx's for this.

Thanks for the replys guys!

That blend would have slayed me if I were attending. Delicious dissonance.

I feel like im part of a small select few that really doesnt like this track?

The world really can do without this Nu-Rave culture which borrows elements of every other scene to sell them out to MTV kids in Shoreditch, just watch Nathan Barley if you dont understand my point.

It started out with really bad Electro remixes of popular Indie tunes, and I thought Dubstep out of any genre would not go there. I was shocked when I heard Dubstep in the tv series Skins, which usually depicts groups of spoilt rich parent poorly dressed London teens taking heroin in derelict buildings with loads of flashing lights and Dubstep playing (I really hope this doesnt actually go on). The Skream track stops me dead in the middle of a skank when I hear it on the dancefloor, guaranteed it usually gets the crowd going as its one of the more commercial tunes, but its usually my key to head to the bar and fill myself with liquor!

firstly it seems a bit rich to criticise nu rave on the basis of borrowing elements from different scenes as dubstep is surely based on a pretty wide basis of influences and is praised for it, unless its the fact that the popular media (the nme more appropriate than mtv in this case surely) has championed it that constitutes nu raves downfall (again how does dubstep differ?)... maybe its that i dont understand your point...
also dubstep has been a 'trendy' sound for a while now, hence its use in skins to convey cool, although where do people with rich parents get off associating themselves with cool or dubstep anyhow (cant test a bit of class antagonism eh)?
not really into the slewing of the track just on the basis that its a remix of a commercial tune either...

Sorry if I sound like im having a rant, you haven't fully understand my point. Dubstep encompasses different styles to add variance to the genre which is more of a tribute to the other genres, whereas Nu-Rave sells out on providing a mainstream with bits of Indie / Electro / Drum n Bass and currently Dubstep for people that generally wouldn't be involved in these scenes if it wasn't for the remixes of popular tunes (which when done properly actually tribute or develop on the original tunes without selling out). I hate Nu-Raves whole Nu culture of people that think raving is about going to big clubs and having glow sticks. I am heavily involved with the Freeparty scene in the North of the UK, get yourselves out in fields and support local soundsystems and talent!!

Also im not slating the track purely because its commercial, I just really don't like it compared to all the quality upcoming Dubstep artists work. Skream is spot on and continues to release awesome tunes, but the last few times I have seen him, I was more impressed by the supporting DJ's especially the lesser known ones which are trying so hard to perform and get known.

Thanks boy_arena!

Im having fun, hopefully more to come.

Great debate. I agree with much of what has been said, please though, great debates about commercial remixs (which would sit in the one for the ladies spot in my record box) must not take over this thread. Make a new thread if there hasnt been one called "Cheesy Remixes, lovem or hatem?" Most people I THINK have the whole love/hate thing going on with these sorts of tunes. Over the last 12 years DJing ive seen genre after genre having a go and dropped plenty, i have to confess.... if its done well, i love a banging remix of a commercial tune and so do crowds. They are though just a bit of fun, arent they? Everyone loves a bit of fun!:D
