Amazing years !

So many brilliant releases in that period.

Things that stand out the most for me is Skream's mix in August 2004 and the original Skreamizm.

I remember literally RUNNING to the store to get my copy of Skinny / Splash, good times.

Getting back into the moody, dark, bass heavy numbers that would make the dance, as Bunzero said in another thread, " implode ".

what I do miss a lot personally in dubstep origins is the fact that for once the nuuum was bringing a total different purpose in the dance.
I mean before dubstep, from hardcore, jungle, d&b, breaks, garage,... everything was made to get the dancing crowd exploding.
When dubstep came and when it was played on appropriate sound systems it was the opposite purpose... implosion.

I agree that the " energy " during this period was very different.

What are the highlights ( releases, events, etc. ) of this period in your opinion ?

unfounatly i missed the first few of those years

gutted cos they are my favorite years music wise but of course the vibe of a new scene with no boundaries seems amazing.

Highlight for me is the 2005 loefah period.

Agree... Loefah was on point !

DMZ/Hyperdub/Tempa.

Why I'm here.

vex'd degenerate lp
boxcutter oneiric lp
tectonic catalog at that time

first three things that pop to my mind

Loefah & Skream - 28g / Fearless

So fucking good.

And the first Burial record came out in 2005.

loefah!

Yea I've been getting into this stuff again recently,

Loefah - Goat Stare is pretty much the perfect example of this sort of stuff IMO, so dark!

D1 dubs on Youngsta + Task Rinse shows

Youngsta + Task Rinse shows in general

.

distance - nomad

is one that springs to mind..

edit: wanted to say distance - fallen as well but could only find clips of the vex'd remix

Youngsta.... no doubt, and also agree with the vex'd album and boxcutter.... absolutely ground breaking

i caught on mid 2006, for me all about listening to those DMZ / Tempa releases, Youngsta & Task, Joe Nice & all his classic tunes

2002 to 2005. those are the years for me. when it was hard to describe and still a bit dangerous.

Horsepower, Loefah, Burial.

Wish I was into it at the beginning, would have been sick and i would have been about 11.

happy days indeed

as seckle says..... exciting!!

As I repeat, I caught on the very tail end, but the tune that made me lose my shit...

Kode9 - Kingstown

The little chime noise, the fucked synths cutting through, the random reggae chord just slapping you out of nowhere.

Brilliant.

my fave years are 05-07 personally

stuff like marlow and gravious, geiom etc are among my faves and they all came strong in 07
