Just wondering how many dubstep heads post on fnk.... Seems like there is an increase of people in vancouver recently listening to dubstep, particularly the idm kids..... If you don't know what dubstep is... I suggest that you look for artists like Loefah, Skream, Blackdown, D1, Kode 9, Digital Myztiks

I've listened to a little bit of it.

It's okay, nothing toooo spectacular. A Genre that has to be heard on a biiiiiiiig System to fully enjoy the deep lows though.

I'm in the know... skream, moldy and kode 9 are by far the best in the game.

tho it's mean to be sort of club music... i don't see it for much more than sitting around at home accompanied by a fat joint kind of music.

like any genre, you have the good & the bad. although i gotta say, i've been shocked to see how well dubstep vinyl has been selling at my shop lately. i always assumed it would just be a flash in the vancouver pan, but it seems to have developed a healthy little following.

I've been on the dubstep train for a while now and its affects haven't worn off yet. I'm loving this genre right now and I can't get enough.

Big up the Konspiricy group, Maximus, micheal red, taal mala and others pushing the sound in this city!

I didn't see you out at the New Forms in Dub or FWD parties. If you haven't heard this music real loud in a packed room with other heads grooving all moving together, you are missing out on the physical nature of this sound. It is meant to be felt as much as heard. You'd be surprised, despite the low bpm, how much energy the crowd has!

I've been into dubstep pretty much since I got into dnb. I chill to it, and I rock out to it.. whichever I feel. That's what's nice about it. I can chill to drum n bass to a certain point, but I could sleep for days on dubstep.

Vex'd or stfu.

I'm sorry but why do I seem to be the only person who finds it to be the most ridiculously BORING genre right now? Maybe if I was extremely stoned and going to sleep or something... People keep calling it hype, but I find it just cannot hold my attention.

you're right, i've yet to experience the dubstep on a loud system... altho I do have a nice little set up at home to listen on, and i'm aware of the massive low frequencies of dubstep which is why I'm still looking forward to hear it on an even bigger soundsystem.

KUMA? get on that shit!

I believe there is an event tommorow night at video where there is gonna be some dubstep :P

decypher · #18 (**permalink**) Sep 29, 06

The stuff seemed to be selling well at blackmarket in London when i was there. It's a bit hit and miss for me.

Although, i must agree it sounded way better on a large system. They were playing it in an upstairs room at a Grooverider and SS show i went to @ Herbal.

Here is a tip. I'll use an analogy. When viewing an artist's painting it is usually best to look at the piece as a whole in order to appreciate the synergies each element bring to it, instead of looking at parts of it. Think of dubstep the same way. If you are only listening to small portions of the tracks, the effect of it is lost.

Here's a few samples of dubstep for those who are curious

Skream - Monsoon (Loefah Remix) (Tempa 017) <====I have this vinyl

Blackdown - Crackle Blues (Burial Remix) (LDN 002)

Headhunter - Dream paths

iv just moved hear from the uk, and its good to see healthy talk going on about dubstep.
although i admit on its own dubstep tends to get a bit drawn out.
when combined with other generes like heavy breaks, electro or idm it can really diversify a mix, and shift a set between different tempo.

dubstep artists to look out for - Toasty, Virus Syndicate, Reso, Tones
