the genre known as dubstep - search and destroy

i seem to dig completely different stuff to them tho, this guy played me a bunch of tracks a while ago, and i wasn't very good at listening at the time (he was scary, had scary strong weed) he seemed to enjoy the low end if it was all over the place.... the dubstep i've liked is where its super controlled, where you can hear the actual tones in the bass, i also like the filtering/screwing to be suble rather than the sloppy listen to all this fx kind of stuff.

warning, bad stereotyping!

pretty boys with not much to say vs. dreadlocked stoners with a fuck-you/carefree attitude

Listening to the excellent Ammunition And Blackdown Present: The Roots Of Dubstep I couldn't help but lament the fact that the lively and inventive rhythmic side of this music is being increasingly cast aside for the instant gratification of the huge drop and the lfo'd sub-bass. I find myself more and more drawn to dubstep which steers away from the worship of the drop and takes a holistic approach to track building: Pinch's Qawwali, Shackleton's hand-percussion meditations, Burial's other-wordly productions, Skream's electro synths, Mala's upbeat dancefloor bombs, etc. Of course the halfstep wobbler is not something to be lamented wholesale ... My hope for 2007: balance.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE MISPLACED MODIFIER IN 2ND PARA

also, shackleton, shackleton, shackleton!

"i doubt i'll have speakers big enough or smoke enough weed"

reads too close to

"i doubt i'll have speakers that are big enough or smoke enough weed"

which would be a badly misplaced modifier

I was listening to the instrumental for "Girlfight" and thought pretty the same thing about dubstep. I mean why would a crunk/snap fan even bother.

A buddy of mine specializes in the house and techno.

And breaks or whatever.

but what did you mean to draw my attention to w/ that one??

I thought you'd appreciate it.

Its very satisfying to know that you like it.

I'd like it to be genuinely techno inspired, as opposed to what drum and bass people think of when they say techy.

Back in the day Benga and Skream got called Croydon techno by grime Djs, thats how I first heard of them.

the really funny one was the drum and bass one, which advised "make sure your posse photos look like the christmas photo for the residential staff of a maximum security prison. NO SMILING! this is jungle warfare, blud"

I've met Mala and Joe Nice, I don't know, they dress like DJs I guess?

Yeah, unfortunately.

Keep your ears open for Apocalypse by Whiteboi and Kommonazmuk.

Its Tech Itch style dnb at 140.

Pisses me off.

Gotta love the stereotypes.

only thing i can think for dubstep = dreadlocks is a must

To be fair you won't hear half of this shit out at a a dance! (in my experience).

But yeah I'm half a continent away from the nearest dubstep night, and across the world from the UK.

I'm going by 2nd hand testimony here.

I'm pissed that I spent money on it.
