I did some dubstep tracks under the alias "Coke Sheik". Actually, I have no idea if they're actually dubstep or just something else. Here they are, anyway. 2 tracks. Sofa Dub EP.
1. Sofa Dub (Edit)
2. Trazpattern
Oohyes.

Sofa dub has a very dubstepish beat but im lacking some dubstepish deep bass or one of those rolling ones :D, the beat sounds very nicely mixed though, the athmosphere of the overall track is nice to, I would sort of wished for it to have a classic 1min build up to an extremely heavy bass drop but hey, can't have it all.
Trazpattern is even less dubstep hah but I like it, the drum programming is very nice, the fx usage is nice and I love the details, same with the bass here though, IMO it would have worked better with something deeper, something with more roll and punch but hell ive been listening to too much typical dubstep lately guess that's why I require the same stuff over and over again, gonna lay off it for awhile. Very nicely mixed breaks here to, punchy enough but not annoying at all, really good job.

roll/punch is gay! i tried to make it so that there wasn't any hardcore lfo-wanking with the bass. that's part of why i don't think it's "true" dubstep :D
sorry i just like drones

nice. kick drum is a bit too hard on sofa dub in my opinion, gets a bit annoying. trazpattern is lovely

i quite like trazpattern. sofa dub didn't really do anything for me, i found it a bit boring. but yeah trazpattern, theres some nice stuff going on in there.
the postproduction on both tracks is nice though. good clean crisp punchy mastering which i like. it's something i have a lot of trouble doing myself.

i think the mastering.. hmm. yeah mixing too i guess. the levels are good and the overall volume of the thing is loud without being able to hear the compressor squishing down the melodic bits.
actually i don't fully understand mastering myself. which is probably why i have such a difficult time doing it.

Coke Sheik gets just better and better as it goes along, I think it's one of my favourite Staz tracks of all time, and that's saying something. Yes. It sounds like dub-step made in 1983.

How is it not "a track"? I quote your initial post which clearly states "Here they are, anyway. 2 tracks". You better do some fast talking, young man!

I have to agree, kill them kill them dead, they're the Dungeons & Dragons of popular music, a niche for personality free virgins.
That Sofa Dub is potentially a blueprint for Dubstep Pop, or something like it.

Honest opinions.
Sofa Dub (Edit)
Production wise tasty as always. On a personal note it wasn't 'dark' enough for me and the bass felt a little 'thin' which was strange.
Tranzpattern
I loved from start to end. Nothing more to be said.
Coke Sheik truely is a great track that just gets better.

Tracks are pretty good but i haven't really heard them yet, need to take them upstairs to the Big Speakers, check the sub and all that. Trazpattern grabs me more, although if you're going for dubstep it's definitely of the atki2-ish "slow drum and bass" type. Done well, though. Second listen now, liking it. That break is a bit overused but it might just be these shitty speakers making it sound more annoying than it really is. Yep, still liking it. Goodstuffs.
