xxxShade Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Dubstep Awareness The reason Im writing this is because I wish I had guidance to dubstep when I first started my journey to becoming a dubhead. The first time I heard dubstep a few friends of mine and I were going to a ska show (Big D and the Kids Table). On the way there, my buddy turned on a song like I havent heard before. He played Africa VIP by Caspa & Rusko and I was instantly in love. The next part to my journey was to see an actual dubstep show. Fortunately, or unfortunately, my first show I endured was that of Excision and it got me HOOKED. Ive heard his music before and quite liked it, but something about the energy of the crowd and the dynamic attribute of a DJ eliciting moving and what appeared to be profound beats sucked me in. The next night (without sleep of course) I attended Electric Daisy Carnival, which drew a more raver techno crowd that Ive only been a part of a handful of times. I instantly headed toward the dubstep stage where Caspa would be playing and spent most of the night there. Ever since, Ive been sucked in by shows and my musical affliction of dubstep. So anyway heres some things to check out. Songs are self explanatory, and the mixes are in essence a mash up of songs. I know a mix is long, but it reveals a lot about the style of an artist and provides more of an experience than a song on its own. Caspa & Rusko: To me, these two seem like the most traditional form of dubstep. SONGS MIXES Cockney Knees Up Excision & Datsik: By far my favorite DJs. Ive seen them both and have had amazing experiences. They are very filthy yet ever so clean with what they do: Strong basslines and filling wobbles. I stress a listen to the 2010 Shambhala mix and the song Swagga which, to me, is a trademark to dubstep. SONGS Swagga Southpaw Against the Machines REMIXES A Millie MIXES Shambhala 2008 Shambhala 2009 Bassnectar: This guy is a god, but I dont consider him a complete dubstep artist. His music isnt so focused on wobbles as traditional dubstep is. Hes amazing live and you cant really go wrong with him. SONGS REMIXES Day N Night MIXES Live Mixset for KISS FM Borgore: Lyrically explicit, dirty wobbles, heavy bass; Borgore has a lot to offer. Impressive to see live. SONGS Nympho REMIXES Womanizer MIXES Ice Cream Mixtape Goresteps Most Hated Doctor P: Havent been able to see him live, but you will most likely hear a Doctor P song at most dubstep shows. Catchy tunes and lyrics. SONGS Badman Sound Reasons (Actually a remix of 12th Planet) ESKMO: Very original and enjoyable. ESKMO uses lots of natural sounds and has a more chillax feel to it. SONGS Hypercolor MIXES LAZERSWORD: A mash up of hip hop and dubstep (hes best with remixes). Sweatpants Money mix is a sick as HELL. Kinda sucked live when I saw him though =/ SONGS Koopa Boss Mode Jet Black REMIXES MIXES Sweatpants Money: https://www.nalden.net/ > click search: sweatpants money > theres an article with a download link. Heres some more of my personal favorites you might like to check out.SONGS Druley Ketamine OceanMXWL remix Eleanor Rigby ARTISTS Nero: very clean and overall just very good with his reinventions of songs Flux Pavillion: Reminds me a lot of Nero Downlink: A lot like Excision Virus Syndicate: Dark hip hop over dubstep. A LAZERSWORD/Borgore feeling but definitely different Drum Step: In all honesty I think the creation of this sub-genre was a stupid manifestation. What I believe is, the underground listeners of dubstpe feel as though dubstep is mainstream now and to make themselves feel better, put a label on dubstep with a tempo increase Anyway, heres some good tunes in that means. Dream Elephant By all means I didnt cover but a fraction of what is out there in the way of dubstep, but its a good start. Sometimes people ask me what I listen to I say,Dubstep, and they in turn ask, Who is Dubstep? Just thought Id try and spread a modern and growing piece of musical influence to all yall. Its strange how this genre has captured me. The music and the musical culture has me seeing a show almost every week. And as my last piece, no. No, dubstep isnt all I listen to. Im a fairly musically appreciative person. New music, old music, a lot of reggae, ska, metal, rock, indie, rap, hip hop, and a fistful of techno (Im sorry but I really do hate country). So give dubstep a shot, you might like it. And if you do, have fun exploring it's musical domain yourself. P.S. Finding some music is difficult. Mixes require a bit of digging to find.

meb Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Although I'm not a big dubstep fan (I don't like a lot of music below 150 bpm:p) this is a great post. When I listen to dubstep it's usually stuff like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sk3_XMoUhg Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Sam Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'll link to this from my "Electronic Music" thread if you like, so people can post some sick tunes in a designated thread for them, because while lots of dubstep is electronic, it's practically a completely new genre itself. :thumbup: 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyFaceWhen Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Should check out; Cookie MonstaDubba JonnyDaladubz Those three are quite unknown compared to the ones you listed, but they're amazing. Also; Reso He's pretty popular though so you might have heard some of his stuff already. Anyway my favourite artist at the moment is probably Downlink, epic stuff.

Omar Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have to check on this thread again when I have time. Thanks OP and fallout especially. Any whole albums you recommend? I'm interested in that Mark Pritchard sound, the chill stuff, but I'm still undecided. I'm not interested in the wobbles. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity?
