Dj’ing next week and feel like I’ve fell behind with things, I know I’m gona get drilled for dubstep all night aswell, so I need some big hitters! Please hook me up! I’m fairly into dubstep mainstream wise, rusko, doctor p, chase and status etc
just did a mix recently with The Bad Touch (Prime remix) and i’m really digging it. kinda cheesy, but brings back some great memories, and the ladies love it haha
Look into Drumstep as well. There’s a couple tunes that are really quite nasty that fit into that bill.
I’d look up Chronos Records, the new Liquid Stranger EP… and just general digging I guess. I spend a lot of time listening to music I’d never play (or want to hear played) live. But that’s part of the fun of finding those gems.
I dunno… maybe just as DNB can have a jump up sub genre…?
Just for the sake of argument:
‘Deep’ Dubstep: Minimal sine wave sub bass, delay and echo, influenced by ‘dub’ reggae and sparse, almost - minimal 2-step beats.
‘Jump-Up’ Dubstep: ‘Ravey’ square wave, multi-layered synths, bit-crushed and formant filtered. Over four to the floor kick drum and massive compressed to shit snares on 3rd beat. Trancey stabs etc.
if your on facebook you should check out a page called UKF dubstep they always have huge heavy hitters on there and they are mostly commercial tunes and they aren’t just all tech step. check it out.
Sometimes when I’m at a dubstep show I jump up a beat before the drop… but I usually jump too high and come down after the drop
You don’t gotta jump slow, you just gotta jump high
check out liquid stranger, vaski, terravita, skrillex, bassnectar, stuff like that
it always gets people jumping
vaski has some of the best club dubstep.
he’s actually a local artist from my area
theres also a skrillex song, i cant think of the name. but but it has a really dance-y build up and then a quick pause and BOOM you face just got melted
