i gotta say lot's of "dusbtep" for me is fuking boring too..... i like PINCH for example but i can't stand QUAWALLI or whatever that tune is called..... the idea is not that "bored techno producers" like myself have "jumped on t he bandwagon" because that implies, at least in my case that i just grabbed up some typical bass drop sounds and went to town.... this is simply not so..... what happened in my case is that the "off beat" and "dark techno" people DEMANDED i keep making (even though it bores the pants off me), was so similar to the "dubstep" that was reaching other audiences, that not selling my music to those people as well just seemed STUPID to say the least. now i have more than doubled my fan base in 1 year and am able to experiment A LOT more with drums and low frequencies. i still allign myself with techno folks like STORMFIELD and SCORN but i no longer have to be afraid of being called a "surgeon clone" or a "shcranz" producer by ignorants... because i am making music that could be called "techno" could be called "dubstep" could be called "industrial breakstep" etc etc etc etc


on the other side of the coin "funky" is just like deep house but with off beat "dubstep" style garage drums, 2562 and martyn, two of the biggest names in "dubstep" are making what i would call retro detroit techno and the dubstep kids are eating it up!!! so are we saying that these guys "jumped on the techno bandwagon"? i would say that folks are finally waking up and realizing that dub, techno, garage, breakbeat etc etc etc is all basically the same thing and a good tune is a good tune so WHY WASTE TIME DEBATING ON WHICH GENRE CAME FIRST OR WILL LAST LONGER???? music is entertainment and art all at the same time, so have fun and blow minds!!!! that is all that really matters....
