James. Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 I don't think Skrillex has ever claimed to be anything to do with dubstep, if anything it's mainly fidget house. I've been into Skrillex for a while now and a lot of his best stuff isn't particularly dubby at all. His earlier stuff is genuinely innovative. Plus I'm not happy with the idea that, just because he's recently started getting Radio 1 airplay, that he's some kind of candy-floss, faux-underground, populist, popstep monster. All that said, I think his take on dubstep is brilliant. Eg. this: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOfficialSkrillex#p/u/42/8aScLKxAVXI (Sorry, can't get it to inbed) Shame, I quite like Foreign Beggars (Asylum Speakers is a great album) and was actually quite intrigued to see what they had done with Skrillex. As it happens that tune is absolute gash. It's not because it's him, it's THAT sound. That screechiness. So far removed from the quality, moody atmospheric stuff. Would be interested to hear some of his fidget house though if you could stick a link up?
Samilktray Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 I tend to avoid anything related to dubstep that people refer to as being 'filthy', 9 times out of 10 it has that horrible screeching and 'wub' sound if its described as being filthy. But yeah, that track was pretty horrific.
StanSP Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 I'd rather watch that parrot all day, and look at it, than listen to Skrillex!

Langston Posted 16 January 2012 Posted 16 January 2012 Not dubstep by any means, but didn't want to create a new thread for the sake of it. Anybody that's a fan of Flying Lotus, Knxwledge or Shlohmo (again, I'm aware that none are dubstep) will love Teebs, one of my favourite artists, completely love the guy. No idea what the genre for this type of down-tempo stuff is called, hence why I didn't start up a fresh thread.

James. Posted 16 January 2012 Posted 16 January 2012 Instead of criticising everything I should probably post some tunes. On the lighter side of the genre I quite like some of Starkey's stuff:
Bugg Posted 9 February 2012 Posted 9 February 2012 I bought Goth-Trad's album New Epoch the other day and have to say I'm a big fan of it.
Jay Posted 26 February 2012 Posted 26 February 2012 The general rule of thumb for me is that as soon as an underground electronic scene results in a "Ministry of Sound" compilation then that scene has run it's course, and it's time to move on because in general it will have become tired The new Burial ep is insanely good though
Basingstoke Fox Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Found this song because of a scene in the TV show Hustle (love that show). I really like it. A nice chilled out version of dubstep.
anotherharboroughfox Posted 4 March 2012 Posted 4 March 2012 Found this song because of a scene in the TV show Hustle (love that show). I really like it. A nice chilled out version of dubstep. Blackmill made it on to hustle?! Possibly one of the greatest artist at the moment, about time he got some recognition.
Saxondale Posted 28 December 2012 Posted 28 December 2012 More excellence from Gemini, who I didn't realise is a Leicester boy! LEGEND.
Father Ted Posted 2 January 2013 Posted 2 January 2013 I'm not seeing most of the Dubstep hype tbh... has nothing on old school bassline.
Finnegan Posted 4 January 2013 Posted 4 January 2013 I'm not seeing most of the Dubstep hype tbh... has nothing on old school bassline. Well.. they're completely different, really, aren't they? Unless you're referring to the current trend of having a bit of wub wub wub in your pop or rock song. In which case, that's not really dubstep, it's just exploiting a technique popularized by the genre. It's a phase that will pass.
Brown Fox Posted 29 April 2013 Posted 29 April 2013 http://www.mixcloud.com/MaryAnneHobbs/dubstep-warz/ this is what i'd say is real dubstep, absolutely quality
Rocket-Ron Posted 4 October 2013 Posted 4 October 2013 Free mix here https://soundcloud.com/sadhudubstep/sadhu-prypjat-partymix-free SADHU - PRYPJAT PARTYMIX it has Daleks, farting and machine guns. What more do you need??
Haydos Posted 4 October 2013 Posted 4 October 2013 Found this song because of a scene in the TV show Hustle (love that show). I really like it. A nice chilled out version of dubstep. Blackmill have been my early morning/late night chill go to for a while now. Not too into dubstep but really relaxing.
Samilktray Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 Benga has retired from music. Made 1 of the best Dubstep albums ever.
lifted*fox Posted 30 September 2015 Posted 30 September 2015 Another mix I dug out from a while back. This one is dubstep / garage. Some obvious choices in there and some probably a bit less well-known. Tried to keep the mixing interesting and layered up a few bits with some loops, etc. Do a listen. http://dnbshare.com/download/The_Colour_Red_Mix.mp3.html Dubtek - Rampant (SHIFT DIGI 007)Scaffold - Saviour (STAIN002)RSD - Accepted (R8-004)Cyrus - Grot Bags (DUBSTARS 019)L-OW - Moment Of Truth (OTE 005)Rob Sparx - Vagabundo (DUBOUT006)Black Finger - Fearless (TBC02)UltraBlack - You Need Jesus (UBR002)Optimum - Max Power (ZIQ283)Jakes - Boom Boom Bass (HENCH016)Digital Mystikz - Eyez (DMZLP001)Skream - Trapped In A Dark Bubble (TEC026)Tayo - March Of The Soundbwoyz (CAD-003)Uncle Sam - Round The World Girls (Tes La Rok VIP Mix) [ARG017]Sclist - Darkroom (SCRUMP05)Skream - Lightnin VIP (Not On Label)Benga - Skank (BAM002)DJ Dee Kline - I Don't Smoke (RAT 001)Vex'd - Thunder (ZIQ115)
