wow. :)

Loefah - Goat Stare/Root has to be the heaviest tune of all time.
I havent listened to dubstep in about 18 months but getting back into it now. Like shiva said there is plenty of room for crossing over between techno & dubstep.
Check out her Retrospection mix.

thats pretty much just summed up whats wrong with techno today.. tunnel vision .. what is techno anyway? and who's to say what can and can't be linked to it? Isn't that the whole point of it? alien sounds and styles..embracing new ideas and creating new angles.. Buddy Holly only knew 3 chords.. A,D and E.. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who's only into buddy holly whereas the music of buddy holly and the crickets make up a small yet important blip on the tapestry that is rock n roll..
(excuse my cheese) ;)

dont knock the holly... if anything he was a good looking entertainer more than anything...

Music is too often confused with Entertainment when discussing the merits or not of a particular genre.

(not having a go at you WRONG) just thinkin aloud

Seriously. If there is one person on here you should ignore when they comment on music, its Aratron.

Yep, thats what i was trying to say in my rambling lofty buddy hollyesque above post
Not to say that people have to like dubstep (or buddy holly)... It can be pretty generic and predictable as can any 'genre', but i've heard tracks that have knocked me for six and its influenced some producers of aforementioned 'techno' which is where it gets exciting as its another route to explore.. new territory, ideas and production techniques to be applied to other stuff. Viva Mongrel music

[DannyBlack]

anyway, i just wanted to pop on here and let people know that there is pure gold in the dubstep scene, but it takes paying attention, as with any genre. every genre has its formulas, but no genre should ever truly be defined by them.

DJ Shiva just nailed it.


Im on a discovery mission at the moment as i used to be one of the most musically narrow minded people i knew. Im trying to break out of that as it is just not cool. Dubstep has got my attention at the moment and starting this thread was the best move I've made in a while, because the links to mixes and information you guys have given me is amazing!

Thanks to all! Keep it coming, but please- don't let this thread turn into a squabble. Please!

[TechMouse]

but please- don't let this thread turn into a squabble. Please!

But, but... this is the internet FFS, what do you expect?

Mala has made some great tunes... has a really organic sound. I like this one a lot:

Also, Skream's essential mix from last year was brilliant... still waiting for some of the tunes to get released. those kids do love their dubplates...
