the genre known as dubstep - search and destroy

like most (all) that goes under then name of grime.

most overrated genre of 2004!

nah, it is overrated but theres some good stuff there. dubstep is generally the superior thing.

right or wrong?

I think that's the one, I'll hook you up later today. It's all about the "Dub Plate remix".

It is!

Toasty "the Knowledge" (Hot Flush)
Search and Destroy "Food Chain" (Texture)
Slaughter Mob vs. Search and Destroy "Saddam" (Soul Ja)

Check out the Search and Destroy pirate radio shows if you are in London, a friend hooked me up with a CDR of Dj Prior's set on there and it's really heavy, super cool stuff.

ps: people seem to be calling the above records/scene "breaks" (yeah, dumb name, I know) rather than dubstep proper, but anyway to my ears it sounds like slowed down (to 120 bpm) jungle purged of its breakbeats but with those heavy heavy basslines, ecstatic/dark strings, and vocal/percussive tidbits getting tossed into ominous delays and reverbs. In other words, menacing and rad.

destroy:
horsepower productions, zed bias and any other lightweight wine bar shit.

I don't think I've ever been to a wine bar.

It's very Horsepower Productions also obv.

I have to disagree. The arrangement is much more whacked out whereas Horsepower is almost nu-jazzy - although maybe it's because I only listen to the dub (can't remember the a-side mix at all).

dubstep... money... don't make me laugh!

This is was the beginning of dark swing. As the Groove Chronicles' "1999" and El-B/Ghost's "2000" suggest, these predate the Pay As U Go /Musical Mob strains of dark garage that grime evolved out of in 2001.

'live dubstep'

haven't seen a show yet and not sure how the concept works, do they really play those big basslines live or is it backing track stuff with a singer? Dunno how much of a novelty thing it is. Remember seeing some live dnb once that was great maybe could translate.

jojo mayer is doing this now, of course:

winter nights/early mornings are the ideal time for dubstep (even here in sunny south florida).

i've been in kind of a dubstep rut. darkstar -- to the extent it was dubstep at all (and i don't think it was) -- seemed undercooked to me. anything new and interesting out there?

Darkstar was okay, not something I'd want to hear all the time. I'm enjoying James Blake's stuff, the new Horsepower Productions, that thing Scientist did where he dubs up tracks by Pinch and Jack Sparrow.

is this the scientist disc?

http://extramusicnew.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/scientist.jpg?w=300&h=295

'cause i notice two covers. the one from the emusic link looks like this one (rather than the one i initially posted above):

http://static.boomkat.com/images/388729/333.jpg

It's two discs i think. One with the original tracks and the other with the dubs.

yeah I think the package comes with both sleeves... I know the 80s Scientist artwork is like uber-classic but the two above just make me feel nauseous. Album is OK, not brilliant

are earlier scientist discs "uber-classics"? i like some of his stuff, but never ever considered it on the level of, say, king tubby or scatch perry.

Scientist *artwork*

http://www.crestock.com/uploads/blog/2009/reggaecoverart/1982-Scientist-Scientist_wins_the_world_cup.jpg

(this^ owns though even if it's not a gamechanger per se)

"are earlier scientist discs "uber-classics"?"

They are really good, yeah (agree they are not really game-changing though). And artwork is def. amazing.

scientist rids the world of the curse of the vampire is uber classic

I'm glad that The Wire is covering Shackleton a lot recently. I really like his stuff.

he's kinda scaring me with the gregorian chant though

Most of you already now this by now, but Scuba - Triangulation is seriously the bidness!

It's actually kind of ridiculous how amazingly well this album flows. It manages to listen like a masterfully well sequenced mix; this makes me all the more excited to see him play here in a week!

The remix disc isn't bad either

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CgT4N0zU1M

Yeah I just got the double CD pack. Shall be listening to the remixes later. I've just heard the Deadbeat one thus far, but it's good.

this is actually a really good mala interview. maybe the best out of the ones ive read this year (much better/more specific than the one on factmag). i like him more after reading this.

The new LV album's got a track called "Northern Line" which I'll never be able to get out my head when getting on the tube.

What you know about Kings Cross??

DESTROY IT ALL

The Hotflush compilation is quite good, the growing ubiquitous of clubnights playing lolstep in my area not so much

5/5

Can't wait to get this, even though I've heard the Quest tunes a billion times before and the last Silkie album underwhelmed me. These two together are straight fire.

Vahid did you ever hear their Uprooted live set from like 2008? One of my favourite sets ever.

<3<3<3 Silkie

yes and i liked it

it's going to sound corny but this is like the jacob's optical stairway of dubstep in places

they are synth wizards

Yeah Jacob's Optical Stairway are a good comparison.

I think also Bugz in the Attic at their best?

A POX of this vibe (across sub-genres) would be interesting.

i'm working on one but i think LHF would be up there too

sorta think LHF are too good-but-boring?

you heard this yet tim?

IT IS SO FUCKING GOOD

I just nabbed it today!

good, cause it's good

<3<3<3<3<3 this

damn I was just thinking today how Silkie and sully are really the only dubstep I f/w. gotta check that out.

Ruff ruff ruff
Beats beats beats

All Loefah DMZ tracks on his Bandcamp now.

So, the new Skrillex with Fred Again song actually sounds like dubstep for once.

Also revive to post one of my favorite dubstep tracks of all time:

Milanese - caramel cognac
