we got lots of sounds out there in the realm we all know as dubstep; we got dub, techno, hip hop, funky, jungle, house, minimal, glitch, metal, wonky, indian, and many other influences. what are you groovin to as of late, what do you see as being pushed further this year, and lastly explain why you like a certain aspect/style so much. and i don't want to hear the "its all dubstep, stop making subgenres" bullshit. i just like discussing the music i love so deeply. so if you aint got nothin bright to say, then bugger off

anything deep, meaningful, and subby

not nessicarily just atmosphereic, burialesque and echo dub type stuff

but anything with alot of melody and not too dirty, and anything experimental

as of late ive been digging mostly Distance, Ramadanman, Random Trio, Burial, Sines, VVV, older Digital Mystikz (Miracles is a banger too though!), Loefah and 2562

anything bouncy and melodic...

the shit thats get the floor,WOMEN, moving

not so keen on the zombie grubstep stuff, though i understand its value and place.

at the moment, anything really deep and moving, with a lot of soooouuul. also feeling the jungle vibe.

big up synkro, sully, quest, silkie, mala, l-wiz, kito, cluekid, ld, d1 and kulture. just a few to name the least...

I'm really diggin alot of stuff coming from Martyn and 2562. that real deep/minimal feel.

if theres some more stuff out there like that, can anyone point me towards some good names?

Burial, Sines, anything related to Echodub

feelin the real deep vibes as well.

BUT been playin mad house parties so anything that can get the ladies on the floor and keep the real heads happy is great

concious dubstep. and retrostep lol.

i myself can't get enough of echodub's artists, shackleton, and headhunter. loving the sub bass sound mixed with dub and minimal techno. god i fucking love dubstep

i like the really dark heavy gritty dubstep to play =) bar9 dz emalkay marlow distance etc etc but love it all as a whole to kick back and listen too

agreed, emalkay is incredible

Hippostep.

Phaeleh, Formant Records, First Trill Bass record on Trill001, Echodub... Spherix, newer XI tunes, HXDB tunes... Sines, Hyetal, XXXY... too many really to name. Simonoff is making BAD tunes. Overcast Radio... too many.

and of course, Surface Tension.

yes, yes of course. surface tension is bringing great things to the table. keep it going!

I'm also a great lover of Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadooloopcrunk.

after listening to that jamie vex'd mix, im really likin that weird/unquantised/glitchy sound atm

Thanks for the shout...like all musics, different strokes for different folks. From a producer standpoint (as opposed to "fan/listener") dubstep straddles the line of pulse/subdivision/feel almost vertically creating what to me is termed "broken"; that makes me fucking bonkers. Free-jazz/film and TV music/sound design is a major part of my career etc so I like that overall palette. Obviously, there are cultural influences to any given artists work too but in the topic of possibilities of dubstep music this is true for me.

Bass does play a major part in connecting all edm styles. Dubstep has brought bass appreciation to another level of connosuirship/awareness. People love literally feeling loud bass frequencies resonate in their bodies (in the form of amazing beats no-less) no differently than love feeling a massage, good work-out, or other sensual experience. It's cool that bass itself unifies all good edm styles (maybe inadvertently?) creating more crossover, interesting fusions, and ultimately a better edm culture!

I'm feeling all that 2005 stuff

Anything after then is absolute turd though.
