We had a "Find Dubstep Remix" thread, but not a real Dubstep thread. And also:
As can clearly be heard here, Dubstep is awesome.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.I don't get the classification of Burial as dubstep.
He's awesome (I made our page on him), but it seems to me like the only reason people even call him such is because he's on that Kode9 guy's label.
I'm not sure what I'd call his music, but when I think "Dubstep" I think WUB WUB WUB, not slow-burning music with distorted cyber-vocals.
I spread my wings and I learn how to fly....
More comercial Dubstep sounds completely different from the other, earlier stuff. I like both, but there's a lot of Broken Base.

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Early dubstep is one of those genres of which I am both extremely fond and unable to recognise a single artist by name.
*shrug*
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.I think it's amusing there's "old" and "new" Dubstep.
The genre's what like...a decade old? If that?
What makes it more amusing is that the distinction has some validity.
Honestly, I wouldn't call artists like Burial and Skream Dubstep at al. Not sure what I'd call them, but the term's come to mean something different enough that I don't count them as the same.

I spread my wings and I learn how to fly...."Old" dubstep I've oft found redolent of some unholy marriage between trip-hop and dark ambient, two genres which I can at least respect; much "new" dubstep seems just like bad trance at half-speed.
Which is why evolution is a bitch. That, and the absence of giant sloths. I want my free sloth ride!
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.The beat style's basically identical, but it only has anything to do with dub when you take into account the style and tone of the early stuff (druggy atmosphere, bass-as-melody, phantom sounds, etc.).

That's right, a thread about Dubstep.
So, who here is excited about Welcome Reality?
