the genre known as dubstep - search and destroy

The appleblim is definitely great - i heard a good 2/3 of it ahead of time but it still mixes nice.

Really great mix and nice that tempa aren't just pushing the jump-up-dulltard-bullshit which is surely where, relatively, the big bucks are in dubstep.

Echo Tim's sentiments on TRG (Ramadanman refix isn't too clever however), 2562 & Martyn

Nice vocal tracks too.

And I just realised that the pretty decent Pinch track is from his album which I never picked up because I heard a few tracks and the MC on top of them was heavy shite. Need to reassess that decision.

pubstep.

Jim the CD version of the Pinch album comes with a bonus disc of instrumentals, and the vocal version and the instrumental version are sold separately on vinyl.

almost -- there is no vocal version on vinyl. two of the tracks got released on a separate 12", but that's it.

I did know about the instrumental disc but I kinda felt reluctant to buy an album I thought was rubbish just to listen to the instrumentals. Think it might just have been Juakali that I was hating on.

wow, it makes me happy that scuba mix up thread is still available. good stuff.

Nothing on Burial?

I am no master of dubstep, but I would have assumed this guy would be at least mentioned!

I love both the albums.

Yeah clearly not enough Burial talk here on ILX.

lol

our work: I think you're looking for this thread: Burial

Astley could take on Burial anyday.

well, yeah

so, APPLEBLIM ... any good

which of these is best:

dubstep allstars six (appleblim)
rinse 02 (skream)
scuba album
round black ghosts comp on ~scape

dubstep allstars six

I haven't heard any of them yet but based on tracklistings my desire to hear them would be as follows:

1) Dubstep Allstars Six
2) Round Black Ghosts
3) Skuba
4) Rinse 02

Man I need to get that Dubstep Allstars mix.

Also, I need an ID for a track that samples the "baby you don't know, what you do to me" vocal part in Aaliyah's One in a Million. I think it may have saxophone in it also.

Groove Chronicles - Stone Cold

From 1997 I think!

Re new dubstep releases, I'm most looking forward to the 2562 album Aerial on Tectonic. "Redux" is kinda disappointing, but "Techno Dread", "Enforcers", "Channel Two" and especially "Kameleon" are all great.

which of these is best:

dubstep allstars six (appleblim)

Way more excited about this than any dubstep nonsense (am curious about Appleblim though.)

True dat.

Hmmmn, I went to all the main record stores in Toronto to look for Dubstep Allstars 6. It was totally sold out at the ones that did carry it.

I don't know whether to be pissed off that I held off to buy it now, for the specific purpose of listening to because I'm going to be away for nearly 2 weeks, likely without access to record stores. Or really glad that in mid 2008 relatively not so hyped dubstep mix cds can still sell out at more than one store at a time. I guess it's both.

don't worry, it's sort of boring

as is/was "round black ghosts" and the scuba album.

It's a shame Appleblim didn't use the best tracks in the area he's profiling - with a few exceptions ("Infinity Is Now" is peerless, and TRG's "Decisions", Martyn's "Suburbia" and Geiom's "Reminiscing" are all ace).

The D.R.E.A.M. mix I posted upthread is a better version of the same thing, I think.

Still, I'd take Appleblim's mix over just about any of the other Dubstep Allstars releases.

On the strength of "Reminiscing", Geiom should switch to diva tracks full time.

It's mildly gratifying to note how for years dubstep defenderz have sought to justify the absolute dearth of tracks like this with lots of carp about meditating on the bass weight, but now that producers have rediscovered the idea of songs/vocals/light&shade, everyone's all over it.

Digging Skepta's 'Rinse 04' which is sounding infinitely more exciting than the prospect of that Appleblim mix.

the best dub-techno-cum-dubstep thing i've heard was that mix posted by ... uh ... gutterbreakz?

also if i had to pick 4 tracks from this appleblim mix i'd pick different tracks from tim ...

Yeah I'd also add in Appleblim's Circling for a highpoint of the dubstep allstars mix - i think the midsection suffers from being pretty direction-less (outside of infinity is now)

Which ones vahid?

Still, I'd take Appleblim's mix over just about any of the other Dubstep Allstars releases
Seconded!

i heard dubstep at about 3 diff cafes in west london this weekend. i dont know if this bodes well.

^^Does this mean it needs a subgenre to be exclusive and fresh again?

Hi all. I'm a bit of a latecomer to this party, but I have a few bits and pieces. Is the Roots Of Dubstep mix on Tempa a good primer for the early stuff I have missed? I don't think I've got anything earlier than the Skream album (which I love) and things seem to be going in a more techno-flavoured direction, as per the Appleblim mix and the 2562 album. I'd like to get up to speed on the early south London sound, basically.

Also, what can you tell me about Boxcutter's Oneiric? I have and really like Glyphic, but I'm led to believe it sounds pretty different. Correct?

Probably the first and second "Dubstep Allstars" volumes are more close to what you're looking for ("early south London sound"). Roots of Dubstep has some of that, but also earlier stuff that (ironically) sounds more like 2562 or the Appleblim mix.

OK, thanks. I'll get hold of them then.

the steppas' delight comp on soul jazz is an excellent primer...plus, it's pretty. and yeah appleblim mix seconded

Yeah that Steppas Delight comp looks ace.

oh yeah and both mary anne hobbs compilations are great too - warrior dubz (which is what really got me listening to dubstep) and evangeline

Yeah, all this stuff looks ace. Damn, I've hit my (extremely modest) CD-buying budget for the month, so downloads it is.

afterwards hit up the adele rusko rmx and curse the time u wasted
