Happy Dubstep?

I’m looking for Dubstep that aint so disgusting. I’ve heard a lot of chilled out kinda dubstep but that’s not really what I’m looking for. DnB can be nasty, but it can also be happy on the other end of the spectrum, think of LK, Shake Ur body etc. Is there any dubstep out there that is more of a happy vibe then so dirty. The chilled out shit is kinda cold, I need shit that is still rockin yet not so invasive.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Good point actually. It is usually fairly aggressive or moody! Have you checked out ‘funky’ or ‘UK funky’? Not quite the same but more positive I think. Check out Joy Orbison.

You might also wanna check out this little number. It might be a little more mellow than you want, but it’s pretty damn happy.

4

can anyone recommend more stuff on this vibe?! :slight_smile:

Already got that magnetic man track. But yeah, any more recommendations would be great

I wouldn’t really call that dubstep. More electro house

8

this isnt very happy, but its chill, and not cold imo.

9

not all dubstep but i reckon you’d like these

Try James Blake’s CMYK EP - nice dubstep-meets-rnb vibe.

this one is more ‘happy’ feeling than the joker version

I’m not sure if either of these can exactly be called “happy”, but I definitely work for a more positive vibe, while still keeping the energy high.

I like a lot of the sound design tricks, and the energy of the “filth” side of dubstep, but much of it is too negative and ugly for my tastes.

Also, some of Nit Grit’s recent stuff is very melodic and uplifting:

its cause its not dubstep hehe.

Dude… is this the same Omega that reworked Come Together?? Having only been spinning for a couple years and living in the capital of crap-country-pop, I’ve only recently been introduced to the genre, but it’s great mixes like these that have been helping me introduce some boom-y flavor to a musically conservative Nashville/Vandy scene. Heck, I got so starstruck I didn’t even jam these tracks you posted, I better give them a whirl.

Long story short, Big Fan. Keep it up good sir

HOLY SH*T i love your stuff! Damnt you have to make these tunes downloadable!!! >_< i just purchased “Omega - Ultima Ratio Regum” such an epic song! :sunglasses: but its not enough haha i need the others!!! God damn you… lol when can we/i get my hands on these amazing dubstep tunes!

I don’t play dubstep but I stumbled across your soundcloud one day and been rocking your songs in the car ever since. Hope u don’t mind. Great stuff man. I really like your coco rosie remixes.

17

thanks guys :slight_smile:

and yup i did the come together remix.

I pretty much always give the bootleg remixes away for free, usually on soundcloud (but the 1000 d/l limit per song on my account maxes pretty quick sometimes) and any blogs that wanna host em. I haven’t made the cocorosie stuff publicly available, because I’m still tryin to sort out a way to do a legit release with werewolf - i don’t wanna make any money off it, but i’d like to see cocorosie get paid something for it. But I can hook fellow djs/producers up privately, shoot me a pm with your email address :wink:

as for my original tunes, some have been released on VAs or short eps, and I’ve got a longer ep (that might just turn into a full album) in the works. The easiest way to see what’s available for purchase or free d/l is to look at the soundcloud players i have embedded in my homepage http://omegadubstep.com where you can easily see the “buy” or “download” buttons. I’m going to update some of the bootlegs that have maxed out the SC d/l limit with a “buy” button that just leads to a free mediafire d/l later today.

its cool that you are here on DJTT! I heard your remix of come together while I was out to see excision in asheville. One of the openers played it (and I was ahem… not sober :sunglasses:slight_smile:

oh PS

that cocorosie remix is AWESOME. I’m seeing them in about a month helll yeah.
