bit of a mad question but!!

Post by hhb radio » Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:45 pm

What images do you think represent dubstep? I mean hip hops got graff, gats, breakin, etc etc, but what images do you think symbolise dubstep, it would be good to know for future artwork... cheers for any suggestions

yeah we need more conspicuous consumption in dubstep.

i'm talking Benga wearing a massive sold gold pendant engraving of his own face round his neck, Vaccine with a platinum grill, Burial's next album cover featuring him wearing a crown and brandishing a goblet...

we can all learn from the boss

Babylon style lions, subwoofers, tanks, camo.

I think there's actually a club night or label that has all of these in their logo, and I'm not even kidding.

all the artists and labels should develop their own distinct visual imagery...
