Want to expand what I listen to.

I've got two questions for you fine steppers.

Firstly, I want to gain a broader knowledge of the dubstep I like to listen to so am looking for suggestions of different producers and songs that I should be buying. I am into the heavier, stomach churning, distorted bass type stuff. People like Rustie, Jayou, Rusko, Bar 9 etc.. So where can I go to get more of the same sounds? Maybe even something a little more wonky but in keeping with the feel of the above artists..

Secondly, I want to experience different kinds of dubstep. I'd quite like to hear some more orchestral dubstep, maybe even dub soundscape type things. Where can I go for this? Also, I went to Free Range last November at the Carling Academy in Oxford and a dubstep crew were there.. Was about 5 of them onstage getting the crowd fully amped, all chanting/singing/mc'ing/rapping/shouting over one another with a DJ.. Who can I look to to get this kind of sound? Maybe some stuff like Rossi B & Luca, but more of a raw, hyped feel.

Cheers for any help!

I could drop names, but best thing to do is to dig into the 'Dubs' section and dig for the sounds you're lookin for, much wealth inna there!

1 up the starkey sound

oh and the best way to find new tunes/styles/anything in dubstep is to listen to the pirates.

most dj's will announce the names of all the tracks they rinse

http://www.rinse.fm
rinse.fm is my favorite next to
http://www.sub.fm

also rinse.fm has a podcast that they run through itunes and the have a blogspot as well

sub.fm has a great archive section

and for more archives check
http://www.barefiles.com

so find some dj's/producers you like and check out their broadcasts
if you like starkey for instance as mentioned above check out seclusiasis radio on sub.fm ever first Tuesday of the month i believe. he always has cutting edge shit.

Oh yeah and one more question.. I DJ house and drum and bass but I like putting a couple of odd recognisable dubstep songs in there.

I love the vocal samples in The Terminator and Well 'Ard .. 'Hold tight rudeboy' and, 'this geeser was so hard even his fuckin nightmares were scared of him' right before the beat is dropped.

I like the 'I don't fuck about' in Airhead's Half A Dozen beers but can you recommend any songs with good vocal parts right before the drop?

I think N-Type - Tolerance has a pretty long sample before the drop...

Crissy Criss - Soap dodger
theres a lot more I just can't think
