sorry, this has prolly been up before, but..

grime&dubstep are new to me ..what's the idm-view on this?

vex'd is on mu, so it's connected to idm somehow :p

at first i thought grime was more hiphop/rap, and dubstep
was instrumental, but hmm, that's "too easy", a dubstep
track would becoma grime with a mc :p

i read somewhere, that the basline is important? if a grime
track has a d&b bassline, then it's dubstep ... remove the
bassline and it's grime??

all i know is that i like it and that i hope i am exposed to
more of it.

all i have heard so far is a mix from Paul Rose or something
like that. if anyone has any resources, please respond with
them.

what's the idm ?

and at first i thought amon tobin was just pure boring drum
and bass, but he's apparently more than that. thank you
lord.

bassline is important, but not....the most important. hello.

Fuck knows really, it's a pretty blurry line as far as i can
tell. The tracks i've heard people call dubstep tend to be
more minimal and, well, dubby sounding... stuff like loefah,
digital mystikz, scuba, all that lot. Straight "grime" stuff
i think of as more in-yer-face, terror danjah-style
overdriven beats and cheesy-nasty synths, generally more
mc-heavy as well. Then there's sublow, which is basically
dubstep with the focus on fucking massive sub-40hz
basslines.

As long as it gets yer arse shaking, who cares?

digital mystikz,mala,coki , hatcha , dj pinch , boxcutter
, random trio , skream, grim dubs , loefah , shackleton ,
kode 9 , pressure ,DAAAAAAAAAAN

see id say most of rephlex's grime 2 is more dubsteppy but
grime 1 is er grimier who knows , but stuff like davinche ,
jammer etc is grime i spose. as others have said more MC
driven stuff.

just listen to mary anne hobbs.

I put some of my fave dubstep records (Grim Dubs - Vol 4,
Loefah - The Goat Stare, Skream - Midnght Request Line) on
this mix here

Dubstep is definately all about the Sub Bass. Don't agree
with dnb on 33- rarely an amen in dubstep.

Dubstep is a physical music. Sounds good at home but is on a
soundsystem where it comes alive- the frequencies hit you in
different parts of the body.

Grimes more snappy more choppy

Anyone into IDM, and not into Dubstep (and lives in the U.K)
should go along to the DMZ nights.... I reckon.

well I guess you could say dubstep is dub music with an d&b
type of bassline. it's basicly dub with a synth bass instead
of a real bass.

grime is more upbeat then dubstep. with a more melodic
bassline. and the sound of the bass is also quite
distinctive. very square-ish.

I could be wrong

I'm gonna wait till March 25th- They bring the rig and a
coach load of people up to the West Indian centre in Leeds
and do a DMZ backroom.
