    agreed, I love my Dub Step but I dont think I would mix it myself. The way I look at things like this is that Ben Sims will bring Dubstep to a different level. boo yah bring it on!

    i like the idea of a middle ground of dubstep/dub-techno/funky techno/industrial. its kinda what im after for my productions anyway.

    im not sure about sims doing anything new with it, as he hasnt really been up to much production wise. he was reluctant to get this new Token together afaik.

    anywho i kinda find it funny, that alot of producers are going the dubstep route, and have never really showed flavours of it before, to my knowledge anyway. its kinda like "oh is this the new thing? right so.... wheres those raggae samples i have?"

    not at all. im a confessed wagon jumper myself :)
    its not really a conscious act of wagon-jumping really most times. not like the whole mnml parade. but i think in these transition times its important to put a new reflection on existing styles.

    in fairness, altho i wasnt mad on the raggae samples, Gunjack's new 'Consume' did just that, with a whopper release of techstep (oh no, not another name). and to me thats important, take whats there, and what sounds good, chew it up and spit it out in a new form! this is how the new wave starts.

    to echo the OP, its about taking risks... i just think there could be more risk taking everywhere!! if major risks are not taken, f*** all good will come about of all this crossover. what does surgeon have on his t-shirt again??

    the dub people are jumping on the techno wagon, the most popular stuff in dub just now sounds like detroit techno!!! as far as i know, dean rodell and myself were the first from the techno side to market our hybrid projects to dub audiences....


    surgeon been playing dubstep for years but have never heard a proper surgeon dub on wax....


    anyway i have been making 140bpm half/double time dubs (and straight dub music, cumbia dubs etc) for years, people are finally paying attention because it is "in"

    f4ck it who am i to complain????

    i found i am just selling the music i have been making all along to a new ("DUBSTEP") public.


    ...and it is so nice to get some of my catalog on vinyl which is not pure 4x4 or off beat techno....



    one more thing, alot of the "big" dub names are coming out of the ashes of drum and bass and have no real connection to dub or THE YARD

    I dunno, we`ve had dubstep in london forever now, if anything it`s still dominated by drum and bass and garage/grime throwback sounds.
    I love it to bits but there`s nothing new or innovative going on, I`ve not really heard anything particularly groundbreaking happen in dubstep since about 2 years ago, not that it matters, I love proper dubstep regardless of innovation or not, people are just discovering something now that has actually been around for a while now.
    Slow on the uptake, it`s not cutting edge, although I`m sure something very new and fresh will crop up soon. Who knows what it will be.

    haven't really gotten into the "neo-dnb" dubstep stuff, but this sounds intriguing...
