Lately I’ve been really diggin’ Dubstep

Dubstep
Dubstep is a genre of electronic music that has its roots in London’s early 2000s UK garage scene. The genre’s name was coined by Ammunition Promotions. Musically, dubstep is distinguished by its dark mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass. Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and early 2006,…

The more and more I hear it, I start liking it more. At first I was like…wtf… seems slow, almost boring. That all changed when you hear this music on a BIG sound system. You can really feel the bass move through your body. Really rattles the chest cavity. HAHA

I find that this music works pretty well, when you want to chill out your audience and build them up for the next ‘climax’

Usually produced at 140’ish bpm, it’d fit nice with alot of songs.

‘It’s Not Just Bass’ Dubstep Documentary - part 2

Anyone play or have played this out to a crowd?

Thanks for the spot!

I am getting more and more into as well.

It’s big with the ladies, as is Minimal over here. Still not too fond of the idea of an all night club dub session though.

yeah, i know what you mean about having a nite of ALL dubstep - just like mentioned in the youtube videos, dubstep is almost like an acquired taste

It’s nice to hear when a few are placed in a mix set tho.

i try to join every dubstep party i can. i love to dance to this music so much, maybe because i can dance in the same way i dance to drum and bass.
the last acti´ve seen was coki from uk. freakin awsome tunes!!!

I’m lovin the steps right now,

Your right about it generally being to slow to make a whole night of, but check out Fabric live 42 mixed by Freq Nasty. I could dance to that mix 5 times over.

Also check out High Rankin, he is this totally dope producer from Bristol (I think), his tracks are somewhere in between dubstep and D&B, they have ridiculous amounts of energy.

High Rankin’s tracks are the musical equivalent of a chainsaw on crack.

Dubstep is great to start off and finish a night of with lots of killer drum and bass in between :smiley:

I love dubstep. I remember when I visited London, Plastician and Skream were playing on a club called FWD, and it was awesome! Really 3d music, I’d say…My favorites right now are Monsta, Skream, Plastician and Kode 9.

haha if i goto London i am going to go absolutely nuts spot the dnb head
Welcome to our forums by the way :slight_smile:

I would kill to go to FWD. Plastician, Skream and Benga are my fav Dubstep producers.

Skream and Benga B2B @ Phat09 FUCK YEAH!

Not to mention Andy C the night before (NYE), and Noisia the night before that.

Going to be deeeeeeep.

@Midian: Some guys have all the luck. :wink:

chur phat09 is gonna be killa! yall are right when you say a whole night of dubstep is too much. i reckon droppin a couple of track in the middle of a dnb set and a couple at the end is the way to go

Don’t forget the start.

i´ve been to a lot parties completely dedicated to dubstep and it was pretty great. where is the problem partying to dubstep a whole night? if it is good step there is no problem to dance to the shit till lunch!

yea fair enough. i guess it depends on the crowd…

much depends on the crowd.

Also Dupstep imo is like anything else if you play too much of it it gets tiresome.

I mean Dubstep isnt quite at the point that say DnB and Electro are where there is a MASSIVE variety in the types of vibes you can mix up (ie dnb: neurofunk, liquid, jump-up, jungle, minimal, techstep etc etc)

Anyway. This track mad me shit myself a little. DnB heads will know the one.

TC - Wheres my Money (Caspa Remix):

Need to get my hands on it! Sadly v limited vinyl release only atm.

@Kaon, have you done a whole night of dubsteps :wink:

Caught School of Thought in the weekend. Fucking awesome! He just dropped Dubsteps every couple of tunes mostly playing booty bass breaks in between. There is def a huge contrast in energy levels of certain dubstep tunes but choose the right tune and the energy explodes even though every body is dancing halftime like zombies on squares

@midian

Where my money is on on beatport, just brought it:slight_smile:

Oh true sic. I looked but couldnt find it anywhere! Send it to me yo!!1one

That is because they are trying to keep their bowels in from all the bass :stuck_out_tongue:

Excision - Rotton Recordings

Yeah I have been digging dubstep as well.

I have been lucky to live in Kelowna, BC home of a rising dubstep dj/producer and owner of Rotton Recordings.

below is his set played at Shambalha 2008 in Salmo, BC.

Playing in the Village was insanely fun, can’t wait for next year :slight_smile:

The live recording clipped in multiple places and nobody wants to hear me blabbing on the mic so I re-did it in the studio. 51 tracks in 90 minutes.

ENJOY!
