So we all know there's plenty of haters out there (and in here), but there should be enough people here to warrant this. Post your favorite new dubstep releases and discuss them. Woo! Of two releases which hugely surprised me recently (as I hadn't heard anything by the artists before), one is Sub Scape's Bad Man single. Bad Man has got one of those basses which just sticks in your head, almost as bad as the classic Night by Coki and Benga, and he throws in so many cuts, glitches and dnb-style breaks it'll make your head spin at times (well, maybe not yours, you IDM-listening bunch, but to those on the dance floor this could be sufficiently mental). The heavier b-side Transaction has a stuttering, heavily distorted bass that never lets up save for an eerie breakdown featuring little else but a music box synth. The other excellent record I've heard recently was TRILL002 from Trill Bass. This is simply some of the heaviest dubstep I have ever heard. Soundcheck (VIP) opens with some really mean emceeing on top of glitched-out wubbling basses, but Mafia is the winner here. Despite its repetitiveness, this is flat out the most menacing bass ever to touch planet Earth. The Amon Tobin-esque opening really doesn't prepare for the audio onslaught you're about to receive. Stackin gives the hip-hop head's something to listen to with some slowww raps on top of heaavvvy bass drums and some real irie horns, maybe like Bassnectar with a bit less melody, or Joker. Speaking of Bassnectar, the promo of his track Heads Up got leaked about a week ago, and it's fucking excellent. The guy knows how to rock a party. Also, the Steppa's Delight compilation has got some great rare tracks by a number of the genre's already-established greats (Kode 9, Benga, Shakelton, Skream, The Bug...). So what are some gems you all have discovered lately? |

I downloaded a lot of dubstep, and while there are some good moments, I generally don't like the basses and distortion, nor the 'simple' sound design in most of the tracks. I do think the rhythms are good, but Burial is the only artist I've found whos been somewhat more 'advanced'.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just burial and boxcutter (neither of which are really dub-steppy dubstep) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're looking for something a bit more complicated (read: idm) i would recommend checking out boxcutter and bassnectar. also, amen andrews vs. spac hand luke (luke vibert) is an obvious choice. |

How is Skream regarded in the community? Is he one of the big guys? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
skream is one of the most consistent producers out there, although i think his style is probably a bit minimal for most here. one important thing though: are you listening one a system with a subwoofer, or at the very least, good headphones? i only ask because i've known a couple people who listening to it on laptop speakers and had no clue as to the appeal. |

it's got the coki bass treatment, only one notch heavier. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
listening *on, people who *were listening. yeesh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
skream's been fucking about one too many times with saxomophones and other shit. he's also a bit more dub-orientated these days. his earliest stuff is still the best (read skreamizm vol. 1+2) |

my monitors cut off at 60 and i have no sub :( one of his track Sub Island I couldn't even hear the bass.:P But yeah, I know that sucks for dubstep, but its not like all the song is gone. |

I don't really follow dubstep so I don't know if any of these are 'new' but here are some things I have enjoyed recently: Ital Tek Plastician - Beg To Differ Kode9 & The Spaceape - Memories Of The Distant Future TRG - Missed Calls EP and of course, 2562 -Aerial |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

I mean, Ital Tek - Cyclical |

the new pinch and distance collab Deleted Scenes is quite nice. dz has a few nice things out, like the 2 vinlys on lo dubs. thirdly the our sound 2 lp has got a massive choon by sully called wicked webs. and lastly, reso has remixed buraka som sistema's kalemba to great effect. |

cx: wtf? get a sub already ;p Phresch: best avatar ever. what the?? whaaat the fuck are we doin' out here in the middle of the desert? somebody call the police we need help, we need help, we need help |
||||||||

|||||||||

thanks for the tip on the reso remix, this is a good track. and i'll definitely keep any eye out for the pinch/distance collab, i'm a big fan of what i've heard of pinch's work. this man is my attorney. he's just some bum i picked up off the strip. he has a very bad heart. |

2562 - Aerial Zomby - where were you in 92? Headhunter - Nomad Scorn - Stealth some of these might be on the fringes of dubstep, but they are all worth it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok some of these aren't so new but... eh Cockney Violin - Caspa Rising Son - Quantum Soul Untitled Symphony - Bar 9 2562 - Aerial My Demons - Distance Angel (Si Begg Remix) - Toasty Ital Tek - Cyclical Hater - Various Production Speaker's Corner (Eskmo and Antiserum remix) - Eskmo Retaliate - Sarantis ft. Warrior Queen Some more glitchy/stuttered madness that I like to spin... Everything Modeselektor does that's even close to Dubstep Eight Frozen Modules Boxcutter - Glyphic Grim Dubs Vol 1-5 especially the first one which is Monkeysteak I think Lot of the new Amon Tobin stuff T. Raumschmiere And +1 to the subwoofer comment. I didn't really enjoy dubstep until hearing Benga and Skream rock the campout down here last summer. The turbo soundsystem was just being owned by them, freaking surreal how good the bass FEELS when it's played |

You're talking about Raindance right? Hellof my friends were there, I'm so pissed I didn't go, sounded like an epic show. I'm actually moving to Oakland/Berkeley (It's like right on the line, I dunno which exactly) in a week. Whereabouts do you? We should definitely get in touch, I'm looking to DJ things other than house parties, which is all there really is in Santa Cruz. |

so that dj rupture album people are talking about... pretty lackluster to be honest. he uses the same simple subtractive synth for every track almost, and the bass never really gets... bassy. it never gets those deep bass drops or the wobble that's typical of dubstep. there's a couple good points, but over all it sounds like someone trying to hop on the dubstep bandwagon without really "getting" the genre. on the other hand, koan sound's single for blessed and clowny is massive. this guy really knows how to make his bass snarl, and thankfully both of these tracks are structurally a bit more varied than mafia which, while having an amazing sound, was a bit repetetive. i'm definitely going to be keeping an eye out for what this guy releases next. |

our sound 2 is great! i love the l-wiz track. |

just been listening to hayoka. really excellent release blending dubstep, glitch and some idm tendencies. some big hip hop type beats which actually remind me of orange dust's bitches and sandwiches ep (which i've been listening to since all that aud-stim made it's way to the top of the pile) and some fat subbasses. subbasses is an impressive looking word. |

am I the only one who can feel special by hating on dubstep and it's retardedly slow pace? to add some more bile to the thread: Burial is trendy SHIITE that will die once all the hipster wannabes grow a pair. (you have to say it like this: shee-ite; so that others know you mean business. and that you like to insult a portion of the Muslim religion. wicked cool!) |

there are some releases deemed to be "dubstep" that I enjoy, but they could also be several other genres... like before this dubstep hype. |
