Dubstep

[Rsdio]

He seems a bit too stable to be that Zomby, who covered himself in glory yet again last night.

[Bash]

Haha, no he isn't, he looks more like High Contrast.

[Zomby]

Ha, nah Bash I cut my hair a bit shorter these days

[Bash]

I am liking the latest Distance EP. Sorry about the talking all over it.

[Zomby]

Yeah it's a pretty slick EP, digging tracks 2 (Andromeda) and 4 (System Reset); can't beat a bit of distance.

I'm just doing my daily 'sit and listen to SoundCloud for an hour' ritual.. man there are some sick tunes flying around.

My favourite mix this week, lots of deep moody stuff on this one (Bukez Finest):

An oldie but a goodie (Geode & Promise One - Buck One):

So much weight (Thelem - Shottaz):

[Bash]

This new one from DJ Madd is sweeeeet.

[Mentazm]

Really like it, straight up Dub though.

[Zomby]

Absolutely lovely free track from Truth, deep smooth vibes.

TMSV's 1988 EP is out, it's so gooooood! Move On is so phat

[Daewoo Sex Machina]

This new one from DJ Madd is sweeeeet.

Some dubstep that actually resembles dub? That's a rare thing today.

[Zomby]

You ain't looking hard enough

They're not dubstep though, they're straight up Dub. I like Haywire for it's use of Taktix's "juuuuuuungle teeeeecho" sample.

[Zomby]

Mmm I kind of disagree to a certain extent. Yes they are predominantly in the dub genre but the majority of the artists who have produced them are dubstep producers who have put their own twists on the dub sound; I certainly wouldn't say they are "proper dub", but then again I'm not very good when it comes to categorising music (is anyone?). I'm more keen on dubstep that boarders dub as I like it deep and atmospheric, can't be doing with jumped up mid-range wobble stuff (a few exceptions are allowed, of course).

I don't know, I like what I like and I struggle to define lines between close genres to be honest

[Daewoo Sex Machina]

They're not dubstep though, they're straight up Dub.

Isn't the difference basically that one has the accent on beat 3 and the other has them on beats 2 and 4? These tunes do sound like dub though.

Mala's just posted this on Facebook:

Tickets go on sale at 10am tomorrow at http://dmzuk.com

No details of what the venue or the lineup is yet.

[jamboe]

Right here is *pure* dubstep:

[Mentazm]

Barefoot sound. Love it.

[jamboe]

Another from Bare Noize! at 0.53 the dubstep maximises!

Anyone with a decent knowledge of dubstep is no stranger to the intense, and overwhelming sound that is Bare Noize. These guys have developed quite the reputation as one of the leading Filth producers on the market.

Came across this gig poster below recently, though unfortunately gig has already passed... though some names there that would be/are worth checking out, for fresh dubstep! Tut Tut Child, and Xilent particularly I've been appreciating recently in the last month (as well as Bare Noize obviously).

Young Echo have just generally been killing it, gutted I can't make it to their night this Saturday in Bristol.

Heading to Mala & Coki's night at Prince of Wales on Friday though, RC1 soundsystem should be large

[PK]

Reasonably fucking excited about tonight.

[PK]

Went raving for the first time in over a year on Friday

 

 

it was alright

 

my knees and my back hurt, I am an old man.

[PK]

This is ludicrous

A very good article about dubstepforum. It's bizarre to think it was all 15 years ago. I remember drawing dolphins in MS Paint and laughing at Zomby's bi-weekly meltdowns like it was yesterday

 

Quote

"This is a music forum," he wrote on the site's FAQ. "Keep that in mind. This place was started to bring people together. Bring music lovers together. We like to think of this site as an experiment of positivity. Global bass culture. You wouldn't trash up your own neighborhood, so please take the negativity and strife elsewhere."

Over the following ten years, Dubstep Forum exceeded all expectations in bringing like-minded people together, even if keeping negativity off the site proved more difficult. What remains today is an unmatched archive of club culture and the dubstep community.

Such a huge thing in my life. I was stuck in Newcastle when I first heard this amazing new sound and the forum was my only source until I got back down to London. I think there's still a thread in the archive somewhere where I'm losing my mind with excitement about going to my first FWD. I know three of my closest friends through initially connecting on the forum and going raving with them. As someone who was too young for the birth of jungle it was so exciting to be right in the middle of a burgeoning scene of bassy, futuristic-sounding music. It's a shame the scene went the way it did but it was such an amazing experience.

 

Also making me feel old recently:

Those videos are so intensely annoying but I can't turn them off. Pure evil to somehow distill that frustration of not being able to remember the name of a tune into visual form. Makes me feel better that lot can barely remember them either! 

[Don Rosco]

Wow, that was a nostalgia rush for sure. I got the artist on 7 of them, but the track name on only about three, and I own 5 or 6 of the records. I've DJed with half the participants in the video, and 6 of the producers of the records. Imagine Mala saying he didn't think he would hear one of his own records! Towards the end I was only buying dubstep records so i'd have something to mix Mala records into. He was head and shoulders above everyone.

 

I never went to dubstep forum much, but I was deep in that scene until it fell apart musically. Being in Ireland, it was non-existent apart from some records coming into shops. Me and a couple of mates put on the first dubstep night I went to  I never got to FWD or DMZ or any of them, kind of regret not making the trip now.
