WHAT?! How could I have never heard of this? What is this?! For those who don't know what dubstep is let me enlighten you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juoRdXKO2go"]YouTube - Whoa-B - Ten Minute Dubstep Mix If anyone knows some real good songs like this post a link.
Yeah, I discovered dubstep last year myself, and I love it. The video you posted was really cool, I totally danced to it, lol. xD This one's one of my favorites... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGnVLG9i1yk"]YouTube - Eskmo - Agnus Dei
dubstep has been around for over a decade, its not new. and its going nowhere (even admitted by the artists who make it) I am awfully picky with my dubstep, as 99% of the relases nowadays all sound the same, and terrible. go for stuff like 2562, mount kimbie, eskmo, mimosa, clubroot, and probably a million more I am not mentioning.
Haha i was just gonna create a thread saying what fucking planet i have been on to be missing out on this too, av been bitten by the dubstep bug well n truly now, please folks some recommendations for a newbie.........
LOL I hate to tell you but its actually been around since the 1970's in the uk, since about 79 infact when it was simply known as dub there were variations but essentially its just dub reggae they may have added an electronic beat to it now but thats all it is I was at a dub party in the 80's that got raided by the cops, you never seen so many people jumping from a third floor balcony before to get away lol anyhow same ideas as used in dub reggae and pure dub as are used in dubstep it hasnt changed all that much actually in the last 35 years or whatever
The same production techniques are used, and dubstep owes a lot to the workings of the roots dub reggae engineers and producers however I disagree that it hasn't changed much. The sound is drastically different. Prince Jammy does not sound anything like Datsik. The only dubstep producer that keeps super close to a roots dub tip would be Tes La Rok. If anything dubstep resembles its direct parent genres - grime and uk garage/more than it does the spacey, organic grooves of Scientist or King Tubby.
good post, thank you. I will take it you are correct as I havent really been that deep into it except a few parties and a couple of tracks, i was interested to hear dubstep, I would be interested if you could show me how the grime scene had anything to do with it can you link to a couple of tracks so i can see how they crossover please. I am quite interested in grime and like listening to a few of the better artists like dizzy and a few others
