yes, the Wu meets dubstep album is good. (Wu meets Fugazi "Wugazi" gettit! was awful though)
my god.... i just sounclouded it.

Hmmm, some of the vocals are actually not in time with the beats. Very poor imo.
(I only listened to it once and not in that much anal detail, sounded ok to me 🙂 )

yes it does say it all, but i'm pretty sure we think it's saying different things...
Well the fact is, one room wasnt full & had no atmosphere at all, the other you could not get in & it was rocking...
What does it say in your eyes other than they got it wrong?

I only listened to it once and not in much detail, some of it was OK I 'spose, but on some the vocals definitely weren't synced up right.

Probably means that all the beardstrokers and Ket-heads in the dubstep room were actually having a much better time, it just didn't look like it. 😉
[i]I was at the Radio 1 night in Space, Ibiza..[/i]
One club, one night, means the whole thing was just hype?
Okeydokey.
Dubstep has gone the way of Punk and Acid House before it. It's become mainstream, we know this as commercialised anodyne versions hit the charts post-dubstep is where it is at now. In the same way Punk was rediscovered as new wave. The inheritors of the dubstep idea are already up and running. looking to dubstep is like looking at stars. What you're seeing is the signal of something long past.

I disgree, people were leaving in their droves to get to Deadmau5...
what it says to me is that radio one listeners prefer deadmau5, not that dubstep is hype. radio 1 basically caters for a commercial scene which deadmau5 well and truly belongs to. they obviously got their programming wrong, but the type of person who goes to a radio 1 event in ibiza is going to want the flashy lights, the big tunes the whatever. Not the urban moodiness.
if they were playing classical music in the main room, would the muted reaction suggest that classical music is all hype?

You're missing the point.... if they're on ket, they could be sat in a corner 'looking' a bit bored.... when they could have having the time of their lives in the own heads.
I remember drum 'n' bass getting a very similar level of sneeriness when it came out, Malcolm Maclaren describing it as "music for crackheads", etc.
Unfortunately I think dubstep has gone down the same cul-de-sac that drum 'n' bass did, perhaps even faster, where it becomes just another soundtrack to a messy night out, with formulaic tunes that all sound like remixes of each other. As with drum 'n' bass where the more interesting side of it, Reinforced, Photek, Metalheadz etc gave way to tedious formulaic cack like Pendulum.
Mr Agreeable +1 for that!
The 'golden' age of DnB was 1995/6 to 2003/4. The shite that Pendulum / Chase & Status put out now is shocking compared to LTJ Bukem, Nookie, Technical Itch, Photek....

Actually I don't think the current crop of d'n'b too bad if you're just looking to have a dance. But they seem to have excised all the elements that made it interesting to me - the influences from reggae and sound system culture, the samples and breaks off dusty old records - and replaced them with screechy synths and boring one-two beats, all in the name of having a more polished product.

No, your missing the point, you are speculating, Im simply stating what was heppening, People wanted to see Deadmau5, he should of been in the main room...

Interesting, so why did radio 1 have a dubstep room then if it wasnt for their listeners? whilst obviously Deadmau5 is a bigger brand to you average joe clubber, so is the general appeal of his style of music, none of this is surprising...
Classical music in main room, your being pedantic, we can go round the houses, what we both know is, you can tell when the vibe is crap in a room & when it isnt & this was the case.
A chap at work is seriously in to this. He plays it on his PC and it sounds like every kind of emergency service siren is passing slowly up the road whilst a one-man-band runs to keep up. But then I am very old now.....
Yeah that's the very bad type of dubstep. The good type is the more subtle relaxed stuff with drums that are actually interesting, and sub bass rather than all midrange screech 🙂

Spot on Mr A.
What the hell is Dubstep?
Noisy shite, like dnb became before it. (On the whole although obviously there are exceptions.)
I dunno, but recently got a copy of Wu Tang clan meets the Indie Culture - Enter the Dubstep, and that is pretty cool....
really!? I'm a MASSIVE wu fan and the first wu meets indie was amazing!
True, the instrumentals is very good as well. Bits of Enter the Dubstep are weak agreed, but much of it is great (IM rather uniformed O)

Very much lol at this.. excellent image 🙂
There are some decent Dubstep tunes
I, coming from a clubbing background, but listening to a lot of music of all genres, have listened to a lot of dubstep lately in an attempt to find something I like, that resonates, that turns me on.
It doesn't, it's boring.
Youth culture is over, which is a tragic shame and probably as big a disaster as global warming.
The banality of house music is probably to blame and it's probably my generation's fault.
Sorry.
charliemungus hit the nail on the head up there ^
The things that are called dubstep nowadays is sellout garbage that has a flashy new name stuck to it. popstep would be more appropriate than dubstep for most new stuff, but that genre wouldnt sell as many records...
A damn shame.
It's a shite form of Trance just like drum and bass was.
When this gets thrown into a mix i dont complain,especially this version. Flame me!
Ah ok so its music that some we like and some won't, wrapped up in a 'genre' so that people can feel special and cool for saying they like that type of music.

Wow major lack of musical understanding there. 😕

Fixed!

I think it's less about seeming special and cool, more about defining a mutual interest and finding some common ground in areas which may not use things like artist names as the main frame of reference. But you're right, anyone who likes music you haven't heard of is probably a great big ponce.
Too right. Personally, I only listen to stuff listed on disappearupyourownarsehole.blogspot
Few days late, but got emailed link to Spin's article about
[url= http://www.spin.com/articles/dubstep-101-us-primer?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=092911 ]What is dubstep?[/url]
(no, I didn't ask, you late to threaders, you)
What are the hardcore dubsteppers opinions on this?:
This is where it is at.
I mentioned Nero earlier in this thread didn't I?
IMHO Anything that appears on UKF is utter w@nk. Dubstep aint dubstep anymore thanks to Skrillex, Borgore & Co.
The sooner this bubble for this shit bursts the better.
Sweet baby jesus, that Nero tune is me miserable at the moment. Goldie may have been an extra in Eastenders but he never stooped that low.
That said, having had a nose on Soundcloud I'm not convinced it's an utterly worthless genre.

The term 'Dubstep' has come to cover a massive range of music. I'll admit that I'm not so keen on a lot of newer stuff, but there are still some quality tunes being produced (the Flux remix posted by Deveron53 being one of them). Dubstep for me is more this sort of thing:

For the full Dubstep experience, it really needs to be played loud, on a proper set of speakers (so you can fully appreciate the sub bass), whilst you are severely medicated.
Hi Jamz.
I put the Flux 'Cracks' on as I liked it but didn't understand what the Dubstep genre was.
I must admit, I don't really like most of the stuff posted on this thread! I think I've passed over the magical wall into 'too old' now...
This is where it is at.
Kind of sums up everything that's wrong with the genre.
One of the few good artists IMO, but then again maybe not strictly dubstep.
That UKF killsonik remix is shocking! Cmon. Got to be a pisstake? lol.
A shame Nero is in the title compared to the mj cole remix.
dubstep is ****ing amazing. Fire up an old modem or phone a fax machine while smashing yourself in the the face with a hammer and you'll get what its all about.
Good stuff.
