Recommend me some dubstep

[iROBOT]

I agree with perplexis on this one - the Burial album is awesome, the Kode 9 one is boring all at once (although tracks in isolation can sound great)

Seconded, it's been constantly on my playa for days...I like minimal, Plus if you get two of the album (V.Junkie me) you can mix the tracks and turn them into hybrids, very innovative too.

Excellent stuff.

I heard Burial was a very well paid, award winning graphic designer but gave it up for this production malarky ... and hasn't made very much money off the album as of yet!

 

[Dask]

I thought Burial was a 17 year old who made all his tunes in soundforge.

He must of made some money, it was licensed to the BBC and has been used on Inside Out of all programmes.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Only repeating what I heard!

Not entirely clear here and I know nothing about Burial's background but that sounds like a description of Skream.

 

[Dask]

It's funny how there are so many rumours about who he/she is.

I don't know for sure, I think there have been online interviews about the production techniques though.

To be fair it sounds like the description of every dubstep producer..

big mix

Nice mix, listening to it now

 

[milesy]

i know fuck all about dubstep really but i'm lsitening to a good mix that i've downloaded from dnb-sets.de, mixed by juju - a lot of dnb types are getting into dubstep, int they?

 

[foo]

yes.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Yep, as we've been saying on here recently a lot of DnB is quite, quite pants these days

 

[ohmyliver]

Could be! Looks absolutely blinding. Night after Bangface though... hmmm. Will have to see nearer the time but it's a wicked line-up.
Plastician- he's one I forgot to recommend I really like his stuff.
Pinch vs Distance could be a set to remember as well...
It's like basically everyone awesome!

technically plastican is instrumental grime, rather than dubstep.... (check any interview hes done in the last couple of years)

Never been into the darker Renegade Hardware stylee stuff meself, still enjoy Hospital Records but gimme the underground Ragga-Jungle scene any day of the week!

 

[Doctor Carrot]

OK i'm seriously loving this dubstep lark now, keep listening to that mix that Agent J I think it was who posted it. I must amass more of it

 

[art of fact]

check distance, loefah, caspa, blackdown, reso, rusko, shackleton, headhunter, pinch, elemental, mathhead, digital mystikz, darqwan, clue kid, juju, mundo, matty g, omen, kromestar, distinction....

I'm listening to one of the mixes on the threads given on the previous page (B-line mix). Have not kept up with all this kind of stuff since I left the UK.

My main questions are:

-is this basically garage for the middle classes?

- what drugs is one supposed to consume to party to this sort of music? ironically this sounds like it would actually suit the wobbly K vibe a lot better than say acid techno, yet acid techno is seen as a k-head music. Personally when I'm on K the last thing I want is acid techno, I want something a bit wobbly, which this indeeed it.

– no
– skunk. not that i do.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Though it did grow out of the Garage scene ...

No. Not even remotely.

Yeah... k is good. I haven't actually done it (whilst listening to dubstep - yet! ) but when I last heard dubstep in a club I *felt* very much like I was tripping out k style - actually, maybe it wasn't even dubstep dunno, *shrugs*, but anyway, yeah tis good music to listen to when you feel like you are on k.



(I always think that when I hear dubstep actually).

 

[perplexis]

Yeah it sounds heavy when you're on K but I wouldn't want to be at a dubstep rave on K.
People blaze quite a lot fo weed.
My impression is that the "pure" dubstep nights are mostly on a beer and weed tip. And nitrous.

 

[art of fact]

seen the odd gurner but is mostly a weed affair... few girls clearly on K at dmz last time i went

 

[Dask]

Why does it matter what drugs your doing when your listening to it in a club or at home?

Do you need to be on drugs to enjoy music?

It's not really a black and white issue, is it.

Most of the time I love music w/out drugs, occasionally I might think to myself that a certain drug compliments a certain type of music well.
Other times I might think that a certain genre of music compliments the effects of a particular drug well..

Most often, I don't think about it at all.

The missus and I saw Hatcha and Youngsta at Club Six in San Francisco, on our honeymoon

She's not that partial to thumping four to the floor clubs anymore so was badgering her to go to a dubstep night

She loved it

BTW

New Hyperdub (HYP006) out on March 19th, a re-rub of Massive Music's Find My Way, and an edit of Quantum, off the album

It doesn't really, and I absolutely don't require drugs to enjoy music, however, I was thinking more in the context of a rave/club that played that type of music. Usually most people are 'on' something... I was just wondering what kind of 'vibe' there was at dubstep clubs...

At Get Raised at the Black Swan in Bristol last weekend everyone was fucking munted.... definitely lots of K stumblers as indeed they always are at the Black Swan in Bristol.

Absolutely cracking night though - Loefah vs Digital Mystikz being the set of the evening for me. Loefah has played at every dubstep night I have been to and always been the highlight. But in general I have found his tunes a little dull when listening to them at home.

OK, but without wanting to sound too uncouth, that's ludicrously pretentious isn't it And tbf, the difference between instrumental grime and dubstep isn't exactly clear given the way dubstep tunes get MCed over... I obviously need to develop my ear!

 

[Dask]

I thought he made Croydon Techno...
