Dubstep was such a good genre about 2-3 years ago, it's flooded with average production and remixes now it's completely lost it's touch. It's like the trend of breakdown metal a couple years ago, this fad will be over in a year or so.

What on earth is the point in posting in the thread if you don't like it?
Shall I go off into a metal one and post some pointless shit no one cares about.

If it was "good" 2-3 years ago how about post some fucking songs from that time period instead of bitching about it?

I still listen to "Discovery" by Daft punk which was from 2001 and its still better than 60-70% of all house music out now but it doesn't make it rubbish or average genre..


If you dont like this or even just laugh you can go to hell :lol

These pesky kids eh? Where were they 2 years ago?

Most dance music is the same, hell, most music in general is the same. Just be a bit more selective when you go out. If you really can't find anything you like anymore, move on to the next genre of music that makes you feel like you're part of THE CUTTING EDGE.

Edit: for a little bit of content, this Doctor P song is pretty rank.

I never said anything about being part of the cutting edge, dubstep has been around since 2000-2001. It's productions like these that have ruined it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS6BeKdkYPw (yes that is the blatant melody rip off at the beginning as well)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljpSqCuf2Qo

If you guys want some of the original and best dubstep, get dubstep allstars
http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/2327428/Dubstep-Allstars-Vol-1/Product.html?&_$ja=tsid:11518|cc:|prd:2327428|cat:Music+%3E+CD+%3E+Dance

Allstars was the definitive compilation.

Those samples you posted were better than Dubstep Allstars Vol.1.

[noisome07]

:lol

i agree with ^

[Lumine]

Dubstep is great, but I agree you have to look hard to find the good tracks. The genre seems to have hit a bit of mainstream and is getting flooded with loads of similar uninspired wobble tracks. I prefer the more experimental liquid burial-step/2step/future-garage spin-off stuff. Whatever, all these genre names and hybrids are giving me a headache. The names, not the tunes. :P

Some good tunes I've come across lately:

Von D - Berlin Call
Silkie - Beauty
Synkro - Everybody Knows
Nu:Tone - Set Me Free
Sduk - On A Low Low
Boxcutter - Rusty Break

[djtiesto]

I knew this guy from an indie game development board, we used to converse a lot about 2-step/UK garage way back when... and now he's a dubstep artist finding a lot of success:

Emalkay - When I Look At You

[Hungry Ghost]

How was excision only mentioned once?

Excision and DatsiK - Swagga


Another great one, my moon my dub - DZ

[sam27368]

Emalkay and Subscape are definately the best producers of modern "dubstep" (there I said it) those two have some incredible vinyls out.

Anyone mention Martyn- Great Lengths? Because that LP was the shit.

[noisome07]

Music is music. Not everyone is gonna like what you guys like. Get over it.

[Yousefb]

fucking LOVE this genre, was helping us power through our capstone last night :lol

during summer last year BENGA came to dj in a little club here and it was one of the greatest club experience I've had, but what tops it all off is that he came over to my friends house where we were holding an afterparty. He was a completely chill guy down to earth.

Listen to CRUNKED UP or 26 BASSLINES by him if they haven't been mentioned already


EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy2TO...eature=related
Mt.Eden Dubstep- Sierra Leone, pretty sick track and they got some other good stuff as well

[Yousefb]

yo I have to bump it for this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTDtumartzY
I think people here might enjoy it

[Discotheque]

Nero - Innocence

These guys are ones to look out for.

[saelz8]

Affinity - Static (Reso Remix)

[aku:jiki]

I've been loving Mt Eden Dubstep's Sierra Leone a lot lately - see it's already been posted multiple times. :D

Here's someone I like who hasn't been mentioned yet, Numbernin6. Stupid name, good mixes. He's got two up for download.

some stuff by them

Hide and Seek Dubstep

My experience with dubstep hasn't been the best. I went to a club in Central, Hong Kong and they had this group the Sonic Sisters doing dubstep and it was the most annoying shit ever.

Now... that's just going too far!

I'd wager there is plenty of "modern dubstep" you're not familiar with- especially since it seems you're not particularly interested in the style. There's a lot of stuff that annoys me personally (Caspa for example) but plenty of interesting stuff out there as well.

Caspa's remixes are far better than his original material (aside from riot powder, that is insane on the sub), I'm familiar with a lot of modern dubstep, I'm quite good friends with zack kemp (otherwise known as trolley snatcha) and have shared a few beers with subscape before. Although with the new job I haven't been able to get to any decent dubstep nights for a few years now. My personal favourite modern dubstep producer however, has and always will be Sukh Knight.
If you're looking for a good night with the producers, go to Fabric.

[sam27368]

Also, getting rid of a handful of old vinyl to make more space, there isn't much on this list but there's some decent stuff, before they go on ebay. Anyone want dibs?

siiiiiiiick man. so siiiiiiiiiiiick

[Mr Solo Dolo]

Ughh GAF, just when I thought you were posting a thread about dubstep you have to post a thread about the shit rehash genre that is just crunch electro synths over a 2 step beat. No OP that is not dubstep. THIS IS DUBSTEP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlEkvbRmfrA

Sorry but your wrong, Burial is as 2 Step as they get he just happens to be signed to a Dubstep label.

The lack of El-B in this thread sickens me.

[Tetra-9]

I've found that I tend to like the heavier super visceral dubstep type stuff so here's so of what I've been diggin.

Borgore - Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuno2jOwOjo

Tek-One - Do Not Bend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha-JzztzYqE

Also Benga's Crunked Up is sweet and Don't Tell Them is good too.

I'm kind of new to the whole Dub scene. Is Dub Techno the same? I've been listening to Deadbeat's Radio Rothko for weeks now and it is still as brilliant as the first day I heard it.

That album looks good...I like the Dub Techno sound. I discovered Organon recently and got this EP
http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Pt-1/dp...47782&sr=301-1

For comparison with Dubstep, which is very different, this EP by RDubz,
http://www.amazon.com/Fears-Feelings...5822893&sr=8-2

Dubstep, Dub, and Dub Techno are three different genres. The best way to explain Dubstep and Dub Techno is that both have some element of Dub, the genre derived from Reggae. It's either the reverb/echo/delay effect the texture and vibe of the tunes, or the rhythms. Can't really explain dubstep but listen to some of the songs in this thread and see if you like it..

One thing about dubstep is that its "filthiness" has listeners as well as artists being profane just for the sake of it, which is a shame considering I do like the sounds of the genre: the wobble, the beats, the samples, just not all the crap I feel like I put up with just to listen to it.

Dubsteb-GAF needs to get this one:

Thanks for the insight, friend. I guess my preference falls more towards Dub Techno; Radio Rothko puts me into a trance when I listen to it. It has such a futuristic and spacious sound to it, hard to explain really.

Magnetic Man - I Need Air

Magnetic Man seem to be on to a winner with their album all the teaser tracks have sounded great so far.
