I don`t think it contains any advanced techniques either.
sorry mate "dubstep" is still new to non-UK ears.... the energy to become bigger is now on a global scale, the uk may be saturated but spain, japan, brasil etc are just getting started and when all is said and done london is not the center of the world...."dubstep" is UK bass music that uses lot's of LFOs and low frequency manipulation to get it's point accross.... i would say that is a bit more advanced, production wise than the average "dark/hard techno" let's-trade-audio-loops-and-make-something-that-could-be-mistaken-for-a-90s-downwards-release mentality....... the idea is not to say "oh wow dubstep is the way forward" or "dubstep is an undiscovered gem" but to say ok, something has been happening musically called "dubstep", what can i learn from this "trend", what are the things that stay with me long after "dubstep" is gone? i mean i personally consider my newer works and that of bracket (RIP) and NOIZ etc to be TECHNO, but if the "dubstep" crowd "gets it" better.... there must be something behind that....


i remember when techno was a bunch of free thinkers trying to RACE forward to the next mind blowing, script flip of a tune, now it is like a bunch of retro cunts ignoring every new musical tendency and trying like hell to stay right where they are, on planet boring in the repitition galaxy just beyond the bury-your-head-in-the-sand-nebula haha


fuk techno. fuk dubstep. instead of following these "movements" we should be LEADING MOVEMENTS OF OUR OWN, not by inventing new genre names but by IGNORING THEM and experimenting as we always have, but without the fear of being labeled as one thing or another. let the distros, record stores and journalists worry about what is "techno" and what is "dubstep", that is their job!


let's get back to making music that is INTERESTING to the ears instead of atlking the music to death....
