but beware that i don't have in mind making such stricte dubstep tracks consisting just of a bassdrum, ass-slaping snare and some sine bass :P those two samples above should explain what my definition of it is. |

boring shit black music for boring shit white people |

See, everyone says Dubstep is white people doing grime, but there are actually loads of black people doing it-definately a greater proportion than their respective make up of the population (not that this should affect your view of the music anyway). On the subject of segregating minorities, are there any female dubstep producers at all? All I've seen are a couple of female grime mcs occassionally collaborating with dubstep producers. |

Although I'd hate to see dubstep go through a wanky "real instruments" phase like DnB did for a while, I found is quite interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got that second track fella ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep! Liking it. I agree I should sort that first track so it's "finished" bar mastering first before going off onto that, or else we'll end up with half a dozen unfinished tracks. Did you get my email about sending a copy of the first one with the synthline as data rather than a .wav (as I have the neccessary)? I was just waiting on that before I start editing it heavily. I'm thinking I might do a minute or so of slower, more laid back intro, that breaks down into what we have so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll do that tonight - in a hour or so i'll send the track like flp with the synth files. |
||||||||
|

Excellent. BTW my gf came into the room when I was playing it last night and started dancing to it. She asked who it was and was amazed when I said it was us. :D |

Really enjoying the kode9 & spaceape album lately, but was surprised to find that 9 samurai doesn't have spaceape like the music viddy did. I know those lyrics are in portal and addiction but it's not the same. Is there anywhere I can find the music video edit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not sure the music video version is available on any proper release. Personally, I vastly prefer the original version. Spaceape isn't bad, but this is one track that works better without him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw the music video you posted earlier, then grabbed the album. So I guess my opinion on this is just a matter of being amazed by the first version. Still a great track without spaceape. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

Glad you liked it. Check out Burial's album (Burial) if you've not done so already- even better than the Kode 9 one IMO. |
||||||||
|

Oh I've done so months ago. Best album of 2006. :) |

What do you lot reckon of DJ Distance's album - My Demons? Originally I was rather unimpressed. I didn't think there were really enough ideas there to warrant a few album (each track didn't really have enough variation, I'd of liked to seen it condensed down into an EP of stronger material). With subsequent listens though, I enjoy it much more. This is quite unusual with dubstep for me, Burial excepted, I like most stuff that I end up liking, on the first listen. I can't really work out why as there's nothing massively complex in most of the tracks that it took me time to get my head round. The first disc I stronger IMO, good solid tracks like My demons, Night Vision and weigh down, I only really rate Mistral off the second one. My main criticism would still be that it's too sparse. Now, I know done right, sparse dubstep (even by dubstep's standards) can be amazing: Qawwali, Voodoo, etc. This just sounds like it wants to have more going on in a few places though. I think some more instances of faster cluttered hihats in places would work well. I was playing around mixing it earlier and it worked well with a vocal loop from a JuJu track, so I might look at that side of things a bit more too. I still think I Taipan/Fallen is his strongest work and I don't think he's deserving of the "Photek of Dubstep" title that I see bandied about, but I do like the album now. Anyway, if you listened once and deleted it, it might be worth a second listen. If you've not heard it, but are familiar with his previous work, it's nearer cyclops/traffic than earlier stuff, but still quite a new sound for him. |

The Skream album took ages to grow on me (and there's still shitloads of filler on there which is quite unlistenable in places), but you simply cannot deny the awesomeness that is "Stagger". Wicked chooooooon, with the slinkiest basslines i've heard in some time. I like "Summer Dreams" too, though I bet that one pisses of the purist dubstep elitests. |

I give it 3 years for total saturation of the genre |

Sorry mate, not a lot been happening lately that has piqued my interest. Repress of Loefah - Disco Rekah and (the imminent) repress of Loefah -Root are worth getting, if you don't have them already. i_x_ten: I dunno, DnB took about 5 times as long to get this diverse and it was okay for the best part of a decade before it got really tired. |

Dubstep seems to be something I can only dip in to now and then, and not for long. It's freshness as a sound soon passes and it starts to get boring. There's just not enough going on. And I do like minimalism in other places. |

from what i can gather, around the time of the grime album or tempa's first cd's this genre wasn't established in the same way as it is now. there were PLENTY of tracks around but the scene was pretty much unaccessible to outsiders. everything seemes to have angry mc's on it or was the older style of speed garage/2 step whatever. when Zinc came out with 187 Trek or whatever it was called, this was a milestone. the genre was turning instrumental (more idm/techno/electronic whatever) but the scene was so small it wasn;t getting the publicity it deserved. around that time it was so fresh coz it took r&b and hip hop, morphed with the faster drum n bass styles and came up with something more the pace of Mills/UR/Electro stuff, with contemporary sounds, really driving. These days the scene centres more around dubstep and some tunes seem decent but basically it can fail in the same way modern hip hop ot r&b has. too sparse, too stoned, the production isn't there enough a lot of the time - what i'm trying to say is listen to king tubby or lee perry and they were surpassing it years before. can we have more tunes like plasticman pump up the jam or early bingo beats, trainer label, soul jah, something to tech to, something to jack to, something to rave to. without all the shouting of course. of all the slow stuff tho, I reckon Kode 9 seems to be the king. How about some outboard or analog delay or something, still a bit playstation. some more broadranging compilations, that time it used to feel like the first 10 or 15 warp releases, when they were legendary. it's like a golden egg that has been found but still not cracked. respect to all the producers, bo bo bo! messageboards are crud for generalising aren;t they sorry, hope someone gets the point? |

Couple of new recommendations: Mala - Forgive At the more dubby end of the Mala's spectrum, but still with a few of the driving minimal techno stylings that made "left leg out" so good. Also has probably the nicest piano line I've heard in a dubstep/grime track, since slaughter mob's "dub weapon" Mundo & Lifted MC - Bring Murda Don't worry, I know it sounds as if it'll be a grime track, but it's not. Nice dubby track with dubbed out dancehall style vocal snippets. This is the AA side to "We Kill You" and personally, I rate it more highly than the A side. J Sweet - Road Angel EP Nearer to grime instrumentals than dubstep tracks, but I quite liked a couple of the tracks on this. |

I have to revise my earlier comment. Burial's album is so, so good. It reminds me a little of Photek and also Murcof. Any other Burial stuff that needs to heard? |
||||||||
|
|

A few more new Dubstep recommendations: The Others - Africa (I only really like the title track) Rusko - Acton Dread (not outstanding, but I quite like it and I thought Rusko was pretty dire prior to hearing this) Both of these are on Dub Police, which wasn't previously a label I rated that highly. Cyrus (of Random Trio Fame) - The Shadows Disc 1 This is the first of 3 discs that will make up his 'album'. I have a few things by them, but I'd never been that fussed by the Random Trio, or its individual members until hearing this. Hopefully the other two are discs will be as good as this. It's no Burial-beater, but this could be a contender for 2nd place best dubstep album (as opposed to compilation). All three tracks are solid (but not massively original), but Gutter really stands out. Almost sounds like Pinch in a few place. Oh and of course Burial's "Unite" gets a proper release (CD only though) on Monday on the A Box of Dub Compilation. |

I got the Horsepower Productions CD, In Fine Style, really good, it's garage style more than dubstep. Good gear. |

Shame on everyone who didn't get it first time round. ;) I just managed to get a copy of Loefah's - Disco Rekah. A bit cheesey, but good fun. Contrary to what I said earlier, A Box of Dub (and hence Burial's superb track, 'unite') is now out on 12". |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
fucking Planet-Video (bookshop/record store/films store) had Box of Dub on 12", had no money on me, so came back and some cunt took it! get it while you can! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I have my copy, don't you worry. Most of the other tracks on it are pretty good too. I already had I Wait and Magnetic City on 12" promo, but it was worth the cost of the release for Unite alone. |
