A retarded question about Dubstep

Admittedly, I don't listen to much of this stuff. Of those
things I have checked out, it seems they all have that same
Whum, Whum, Whum bass sound. What is that? I mean,
it seems like THE SAME bass notes in every song. Is it
sampled or is it a specific soft synth or something?

Is this bass line for Dubstep, what the Amen was for
Breakcore, or Buffer Override was for IDM?

I find this all interesting.

I think it's the influence of bass-heavy dum n bass tracks
like Alex Reese's "Pulp Fiction".

I know what you mean, that wobbly LFO’d lo-mid-range stuff
over the proper sub, right? I'm not sure what it's actually
"called" but there is a lot of it about, yeh… not
everybody’s working to the same template though – mrk1
for example, got that same dark jump-up-ishness but it’s
totally different, shackleton, joker, there was a sort of
subtle, dubsteppy 12” out by sleeparchive recently,
mala’s stuff is always deep but not obvious. You do need a
few of the rubbery LFO tracks in a set though, they sound
sick on the right system :) just hope they don’t end up
completely dominating the “scene”, dubstep allstars 5 is
very wobble-heavy…

The subtle sleeparchive one is LAC (Loud and Clear) and it's
excellent. Anyone else picked up A Box of Dub yet? I got
mine on 12" today. Hot diggity-damn Unite is a tight track.

I get bored with dub step because I got bored with the 90's
dub (scorn, godflesh, bill laswell, techno animal, mad
professor, massive attack) which became grime (the bug),
though early dub still sounds kinda fresh I mean the stuff
done by lee scratch perry etc

99% of dubstep is boring as hell. it seems that every
dubstep track that's made also is released. no quality
controle whatsoever. they seem to think people will buy it
anyway.

I also hate the fact people call it a "new genre". it's been
around forever. and basicly it's just jungle at 90 bpm.

having said that. I like

luke envoy - honour kill
this track is pure rawkus.

what are you on about? the amount of DMZ tracks that still
need a release could fill 3 or 4 albums easily, skream and
hijak churn out shitloads of great tunes that never see
vinyl, most of the best stuff only ever comes out on dub and
it does my head in. Dubstep is pretty much always around
140bpm btw, why people cannot grasp this i do not know

its milanese and boxcutter who are doing the fun things with
dubstep. most of the other stuff i've heard, and i've heard
quite a bit, is like people are saying; samey.

i wouldnt consider burial dubstep though./
