before you'd even heard of dubstep, what kind of music did you first get into? you know, " a phase of"

mostly "handplayed" music. punk-, noise- and postrock, also some industrial metal followed by an extensive phase of reggae and dub. and you?

rock, pop, 60/70's stuff

then it was loads of idm and dnb

I didn't believe in music until I met dubstep

Then I learnt about Fleetwood Mac

Bomfunk MC's!
Freestyle was the first ever track that ever ever got me started liking music in the first place!

Fell in love with Hip Hop back in '86

so that was the soundtrack of my teenage years and beyond

and how my record collection first developed


can't really be arsed with Hip Hop nowadays

just check for a few artists and buy the odd release

My musical evolution goes like this...

1. What my parents listened to(classic Rock, Jazz, Country, pop)
2. Industrial/Rock/Metal/Punk
3. Garage/House/Techno/Progressive/whatever was at the rave
4. Garage/House/Techno
5. Dubstep
6. Dubstep, Garage/house/techno


for a while, I went to strictly dubstep and didn't listen to much else. Now I'm back into the bassy house that is coming out, with sprinklings of garage and more techno influenced dub riddims

my favs now are Martyn, Andy Stott, etc.

mm in 84 when aged 11 i bought pump me up , by grand master melle mell and the furious 5 that started my interest in hip hop through out my teenage years , licensed to ill ,ll cool j im bad and public enemy yo bum rush the show were played heavly throughout the ages of 13-16.. only shame is everything i had apart from the melle mell 12"" was on cassette,damn if only id have got em all on vinyl..

When I was young it was all the stuff my folks played me, mostly rock. Then I just listened to general pop music up until the age of 12. Then I got into metal big time. This lasted a couple of years until I discovered electronic music and ecstasy and starting listening to everything.

i was brought up with stuff like ry cooder and tom waits, talking heads etc. my dad's kraftwerk records were my first taste of electronic music. i started to buy fairly mainstream dance comps when i was about nine/ten, and then i started listening to fair bit of rock stuff when i got to high school and ska which i still listen to. i dabbled with drum n bass for a bit as well. when i was about 15 i completely submerged into dance music, techno and house. i mostly listen to dubstep now but i still like hawtin, booka shade, dubfire, laurent garnier etc

T.U.N.E

That riddim was a smasher back in the day!

Raised on Brazilian Jazz, Classic jazz and various relaxed beats
techno from 93-95
junglist - 95-present,
dubstep - 2003 to present.

My musical life pretty much changed when Enter the 36 Chambers came out. Til then, my fav records were Takes a Nation of Millions, Nevermind, Siamese Dream. Then I started going to parties in Baltimore and DC......

I was raised on 80's and 90's hip hop.

First album I got was some old hip hop compilation I picked up from our local library which had Run DMC's 'My Adidas' on it. Then I bought Ice T's 'Home Invasion' album and was hooked...

Rock -> Hiphop -> Metal -> Punk -> Hiphop -> Reggae -> Hiphop/Reggae/Dubstep/Ska Punk

Something like that.

First post on the forums.

Phillip Glass continues to blow my mind.

i grew up on rock/blues/jazz from my dad and soul/reggae from my mum...then from there i moved onto hip hop in a big way...then garage/house/techno...then d'n'b...and then dubstep...and plenty of other stuff inbetween along the way...

i basically listen to anything and everything and have always been that way...i go through phases where i'll listen to alot of hip hop and then alot of dubstep or whatever but there is always something new just round the corner...

long haha

my first favorite band was queen, then came metallica.
I still love em
