metaphi - new on the scene. dont ask me just yet, but thats the shit. search for the lloyds tsb dubstep remix video on youtube, that shits tha bomb, baby, tha bomb!
making crowds of (ok, 4-5) people surround me, mouths open in amazement at me going for it on the dancefloor to some of the rolling dubs coming outta the bradford sound (a la the steppahs, ken evil and irration steppas) remains my favourite clubbing moment of the past year or so, whenever it goes down. |

raaah....from wikipedia
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that has its roots in London's early 2000s UK garage scene. The genre's name was coined by Ammunition Promotions. Musically, dubstep is distinguished by its dark mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass. Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and early 2006, with many websites devoted to the genre appearing on the Internet and thus aiding the growth of the scene, such as dubstepforum, the download site Barefiles and blogs such as gutterbreakz.[1] Simultaneously, the genre was receiving extensive coverage in music magazines such as The Wire and online publications such as Pitchfork Media. Interest in dubstep grew significantly after BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs began championing the genre, devoting a show to it (entitled "Dubstep Warz") in January 2006.[2][3][4] |

I'm with Spoon on this one. I tried this stuff and it didn't work for me either.
They were all raving on about DJ Pinch in Brizzle, but it did nowt for me.
Though Burial wasn't that bad, I was convinced he was a darker MJ Cole. Not literally darker, or may be he is?

i just read this on the okayplayer website... still much clearer, but i'll get there eventually.
'Yesterday I equated vicelounge's "Never Fall" to a hybridization of minimalist slow-jam R&B and the sonorous low-end of UK Dubstep. The irony of making such a comparison when I'd jokingly predicted R. Kelly would trade in the "Chicago Step" for Dubstep in a blog-post title last Summer amused me slightly. But more than anything it reminded me that the last big Dubstep record to grace this space, Burial's Untrue, wasn't just one of my favorite albums of last year, or just one of my favorite Electronic/Dance Music albums of the year, but one of my favorite Soul/R&B albums of the year as well.
Okay, I think I might have called Untrue a "deconstruction of contemporary R&B," but it was still an R&B album to me. A mangled, backwards-engineered R&B album that retro-fitted modern radio-Soul to it's cousin from across the pond in a manner that required hopscotching backwards from Dubstep, to 2-Step and Garage, to House, to Disco, and finally back to R&B to get to their common ancestor. And sure, it's a stretch of conventional boundaries and genre-labels. And I totally filed it away in the "Electronica" section of my own record collection. But in my mind Untrue was an R&B album none-the-less. And an incredible one at that.
Not more than five months on from that album's release, another standout full-length Dubstep LP, this time from Croydon-based veteran of the Dubstep scene Benga, has hit me like a ton of sub-woofers dropped from a 100-story building. And while the album, titled Diary of an Afro Warrior, is markedly different from Untrue sonically (it's based more-so around a slow, but forcefully driving Grime-fusion sound), and vocals are sparser, it's another collection of tunes that might be difficult to just lump in with Grime, Drum-n-Bass and IDM, or Dub Reggae for that matter, without first aknowledging their affinity for Soul, R&B, Funk and even Jazz, not to mention percussive Afro-Carribean sounds and the traditional tribal rhythms that are the very building blocks of "the beat" itself.
That's not to say Diary of an Afro Warrior isn't gritty, gutter, and packed to bursting with pulverizing basslines, rapid-fire hi-hats that chatter like spent shells on concrete, synths sharp as hacksaws & acidic as Spirits of Salt, drums that kick like Wong Fei Hung & snap like Men on Film, and an array of blips, bleeps, clicks, whirrrs, whistles and laser sounds. Songs like "26 Basslines," "Crunked Up" and "Go Tell Them" are all that and more. But other tunes -- "Zero M2," with rumbling upright bass & chime-like electric piano, and "B4 the Duel," featuring a meandering synth-horn line -- recall the smoky swing and improvisation of barroom Jazz. Still others, like the sci-fi-Swamp-Beat-boogie of "Light Bulb," the '80s Electro-Soul-meets-G-Funk whine of "Someone 20," and "Loose Synths," which pits warm quiet-storm swells against tic-toc 2-Step beats, place Dubstep in a broader musical & cultural context, and show that even at its ruggedest it's a lot more than computerized music for English kids to get stoned to'.

i like dubstep. although i find a lot of it has echoes of stuff ive already heard. i like how its produced though - really heavy and fucking massive bass. thats what i like the most about it. but some of it is a bit 'dead' sounding to me. and all the 93059350 tracks with the same sort of wobbler bass line gets on my nerves after a bit. its like one endless sound system dance but on a bouncy castle. the stuff around 2004/2005/06 i think was the best. but im out the loop with it now so fuck knows. |
