Personally I don't really enjoy Skrillex-esque Dubstep. But that just seems to be my personal tastes which more often drag me to the softer sides of certain styles. I prefer Deep House over Electro House, Liquid D&B over Neurofunk and on a larger scale Folkrock over Punkrock. Speaking of Punkrock, there are a few similarities between Punkrock concerts and Dubstep shows when it comes to jumping around instead of dancing. With the main difference being that Punk was a more or less authentic movement, while Dubstep now attracts a popped-collar crowd of people who would have claimed to be gangsta rap fans 5 years ago because it was the cool thing to do. In the end, I respect anyone with a genuine love for whatever style of music or to say it with a quote by John Mendez: "There's no excuse, I believe, to listen to shitty music - unless you like it, which is fine."

Madelene Witek 29.07.2012	I love dubstep in every form. Yes there are all kinds of bass music, but something about bass on a 2-step beat is so much more powerful. But regardless of anyone's opinion, I don't understand how in this thread alone there is about 90% sheer hatred/dislike/believesitstired, yet it seems to be growing still... The biggest EDM events in the world are laying this modern dubstep down and people are loving it. If so many people hate it, why is it successful? Recently the biggest EDM event ever to hit the state of Washington happened, simply because of this modern dubstep movement that happened. Is what a lot of you're saying, that Dubstep doesn't work as DJ music, but festivals/shows are entirely different thing? Because shows are getting a bigger and bigger, more and more crazy. And people seem to be loving it. Everyone is saying it's dead, but this is real live proof it isn't. And if this is true that's fine, cause I've moved on almost entirely to production, and I believe most dubsteo DJ's have. beatmatching a ton of bangers you downloaded doesn't cut it anymore. IMO all bass music will soon be lopped together and only defined by tempo, as they're all using the same sounds most of the time. Which is fine by me. And people can like what they like, but I believe its right here in front of us, that this music is indeed still growing. Whether or not you like it. This thread was rather disheartening as I love this music, anything from the very fucking beginning to whats topping beatport. Although I credit my dubstep obsession to a certain acid trip... But that's another LONG story.

Lashawn Maycock 28.07.2012	Originally Posted by Steve_London Shame about the way the typical dubstep sound has gone. Inevitable really though. Still some really good producers out there though. I love the likes of Cymatic, DJG, Ruckspin, Planas etc... some real good shit out there if you're willing to sift through the shite. Same as any other scene Absolutely agree, a case of sifting the wheat from the shite.

Lashawn Maycock 26.07.2012	Originally Posted by Tommi Bass Most of the the U.K producers are trying to get back to the soul and not just the wakka wakka b-lines and frantic bass overload. (I'm sure some Americans are to) I'm writing Post Dubstep music (Mokujin.... just a few humble relases so far on small labels)...... its kinda 2step garage..... swinging beats and I wanna give it some whapp whapp b-lines. Its for the dancefloor to make people jack and swing ... not the youtube robot dancing video stuff .... but a real soul step to it ... erm swing....... but somehow I do kinda like the popin and shit that those kids do..lol For me as an artist I have gone back to my roots...... which is 90's U.K Garage/Techstep ........... but with new tricks up its sleave... a bit darker... but soulful and kinda lost ... as I feel the scene is still fragmented within the u.k underground. Sorry I'm just not inspired by any American Producers at the moment......... its something i really cannot relate to... the music that is being created right now on the streets................cus thats where it was allways at. Weird as I've allway been inspired by American Music over the past 30 odd years. Be-Bop Jazz, Raw Funk.. Soul............. Motown... The Northern soul music scene came from the usa... Proper Electro from the Bronx..... East Coast Hip Hop... Miami Bass, Detroit Techno , Chicago House................. do you see the connection.?????????????????????????????????????? Um.......... lets see what happens in the u.k with the neo scenes.. eh.. perhaps we all just need to chill out a bit and dig deeper to create something that has less ego....... Dubstep......... like all genres has split......... the shite advert soundbite stuff is for morons we all know that............ the lowkey underground stuff is for the heads....... this is constanly evolving and so..on ...and so... on. Aint it great.........................music? Fuck it just nod ya head! Again, spot on, you and me believe alike! I believe there is a UK/US intepretation of Dubstep (of which it is as you say a sub-genre developed out of UKG). It was a shame when UK Garage lost a lot of it's soul in the music in the late 90's after exploding in to the mainstream in 1997 when the term 'Speed Garage' was bandied around. 2-Step popped out as a sub-genre in it's own right along with Grime, Sublow, Eski, Bassline and Dubstep drop out in the early 2000's. Thankfully people like Scott Diaz (Connect:d) and others are knocking out some great soulful house with a big nod to the UK Garage scene of old.
Lashawn Maycock 26.07.2012	Originally Posted by Tommi Bass O.K .... I'm from the u.k I first heard this musics humble beginings with the b-sides of u.k garage. I was a drum and bass dj and often in the other room there would be U.K Garage/Speed Garage/4x4 playin. There would be some young Croydon lads dropping heavy bass wobblers at around 5-6 am. Towards the end of the 90's u.k garage had gone mainstream big time in the u.k and the clubs changed from having really nice friendly people frequent them to in to having complete %unts in thats started fights and so on. So the music changed........... for some producers, like EL-B and Horsepower Poductions.... and a few unknowns putting out white label 12s..........while others carried on raking the money in and eventually the scene just died. I'm a great fan of progression and pride myself on having an open mind, but Dubstep in its current state is shit. Well put, good to finally see a post on Dubstep that actually reflects the origins and not just this 'brostep' bollocks that currently defines Dubstep.

Danae Dumler 26.07.2012	what's dubstep?
Cole Maroto 25.07.2012	i went through a huge dubstep/drumstep/dnb phase just a little bit ago and loved it...but after finding all the tracks i liked and making a couple of mixes, i got REALLY burnt out on the sounds. i am however really liking the more mellow, i guess you would call them glitch hop sounds. stuff like gramatik, pretty lights, ill.gates, scratch bandits crew, chinese man, algorythmik, etc. i really love the swinging jazz numbers and the more hip hop rooted grooves.
Werner Bile 25.07.2012	I love dubstep in all its forms. I am also completely uninterested in arguing about it.

Celine Surico 25.07.2012	There are some producers like Photek who are trying to take Dubstep into some new directions, though.
Nereida Jasnoch 25.07.2012	Originally Posted by BFLY Proper UK Dubstep is probably now referred to as Bass Music. Music that is now referred to as Dubstep in the UK and the US is different, what you may term as brostep. Whatever its called, its aggressive shitbag music which is nay on impossible to dance properly to. Its the music for chav twats and people who dont have any taste or who dont have a clue about proper dance music. Drum and Bass heads may have initially jumped on the band waggon cos of the Bass, but once they realised it was shit the novelty wore off. In my opinion its as shit and cheesy as Donk. Wot maaite, evrythin sunds gud wiv a donk on it, innit ? I thought it was this way tho (note the "thought" because I'm not 100% sure) (some) Dubstep is a part of bass music. But not all bass music is dubstep. Isn't some garage also bass music ? Again not sure. But I am sure that I heard some bass music that had way different percussion than dubstep and also a different tempo. I actually wrote up this post for sharing this: Also 500th post imminent ! Whoopie ! Maybe because I spend to much time contributing to bullshit threads like this one. OP had the right mindset but maybe this isn't the best place for this discussion. At least this one isn't as bad as the one we had on dubstep tempo a few weeks ago.

I'm from Canada so I missed out on those humble beginnings, I remember being introduced to Benga and Skream a few years back by my boss actually, we would fire up a big PA and he had a play list of dubstep tracks that he would put on so we could get a feel for the bass in the room. There seems to be a sentiment that brostep killed dubstep on here, which I can't say I disagree with, the new stuff coming out seems like it's all just a competition to make the most shitty synth sounds possible. There is nothing exceptional happening on either the sound design or the compositional front imo. The deadhorse comment was actually in reference to the "trollol dubstep is teh suck" comments that I knew were inevitably going to turn up.
