Dubstep at the beginning of the night?

Dubstep at the beginning of the night?

obviously not heavy but like Collect call- adventure club remix type stuff? lol

Depends, innit

seen it done with really more dub type sounds, heavy reggae, smokin type beats.

personally i found it painfully boring.

I see dubstep as a rather blatant, dark kind of music. Something I wouldn’t play at the beginning of the night, where you’d rather give the crowd something cheerful and exhilarating to make them dance.

we started using it to change things up in a set. drop a random dubstep tune in right where the folks dont expect it for maximum effect :wink:

100%!

I usually play at 3am at the outdoor festivals while its raging, but in Jan I am playing much earlier. So I have been working on a set that is half dubstep.

It will be on a monster TurboSound rig…so I can;t WAIT to drop that bass!

:slight_smile:

You wanna be rolling with the deep stuff from the likes of synkro and phaleah at the beginning of the night. Future garage kinda beats, chillout, smokin stuff, then progress a bit more into dubstep territory with some joker or 501.

It really depends what the dj after you is playing. But if someone dropped skrillex @ 9pm, they should be banned from the decks.

Depends on the whole party I rate.

I can tell you that come 12am at this party I am playing at, it will be MAD 148 - 155 BPM Psytrance.

So I recon some badass Dubstep will get the crowd in the mood for sure!

Totally depends. Ive seen ‘brostep’ warm up a rave before and it still worked with the night. but usually, just keep it chilled. And there’s a lot of chilled dubstep out there

I have a warmup Dubstep “crate” in Traktor, so I’d definitely say it works. There’s a lot of chilled, groovy kid of dub/reggae inspired dubstep out there that (IMO) would work wonders for a warmup set.

Dubstep… no. Glitch hop… yes.
