NVWOCI WVS Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have an issue with the words 'Dubstep' and 'Artist' being used together in the title of this thread. I'm sure it was an honest mistake, so I will give you a chance to rectify it, before reporting it to the moderators. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Also try Doctor P, Document One, Boregore, DMNDAYS, Tek-One... Though they're all heavier, gorestep artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. I always find it funny watching people get defensive about the music they listen to, as if someone else's opinion will affect what it's like to them.

Tony Harrison Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think genres like dubstep are often misrepresented by (and I hate to use this phrase) 'the mainstream'. For example you'll find the occasional decent dubstep track on iTunes shown as very popular, but lots more other just as good ones not rated at all. Usually this is because the popular one happened to make it on to some Ministry of Sound or other 'my first dubstep' type CD (with a lot of other shit tracks), or true dubstep heads aren't using iTunes. What this shows is that very little of the 'good' stuff is making it through into the popular conscience, and it's no surprise therefore that often what people think 'dubstep' is, it isn't. For example, nearly ten years ago I'd say to someone that I like hiphop, and they'd immediately think 50 Cent, G-Unit and all that kind of stuff. What I had in mind was far more chilled out, distinctly lacking in references to 'b1tches', 'da club' and 'gunz'. The kind of stuff you'd play in the car and someone would say WTF is this? Around the same time some lame student girls I knew thought they were into DnB because they'd just bought some M of S 'Addicted to Bass' CD. Sigh. Dubstep is the same. Right now a lot of people are hearing stuff that sounds ridiculously crazy (go on YouTube and type in Skrillex for example). But the truth is it goes a hell of a lot deeper than that. Best example would probably be some of the stuff that's come out of Digital Mystikz, like early Coki stuff, etc. Back to the point, in terms of artists I'd say, as a start... LX One, Emalkay, Pinch, Distance, Mensah, Burial, Skream, Seven, Eddie K, Redlight, Soap Dodgers, Benton and Kutz. When I first got into dubstep I thought Borgore was the best thing in the world. Then I started downloading the podcasts from rinse.fm, and later the GetDarker ones. It helps that I drive a lot, so have them in the car and go through hours of them every week, but I started to learn what was what. Look out for podcasts by: N-Type, Youngsta, Distance, Chef, LV, Redlight, Beezy and Mensah in particular. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks, that now also helped me Because I actually only find song remixes (which can be pretty good too) or the very strange stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) on my ipod ive got: Borgore Tek One Bar9 Modestep DjBrja (no thats not a typo, search "the room dubstep" on youtube its amazing but not many people have heard it.) Skrillex ive also got a few remixes of songs but i didnt think it was worth mentioning individual songs.

Max Quinn Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Harrison hits home. I literally used to despise dubstep (still got a lot of hate if it takes over d&b raves haha) cos I hadn't dug deep enough, but I've come round to the fact that there is some goodness amongst all the shit. It's almost known now for a cold, screechy, highly mechanic and heavily synthesized sound. It's also known for the traditional 'kick kick snare' break but that's only how it's progressed and the format commercial dubstep seems to have settled on. The early days when it was finding it's sound dubstep produced some unbelievable music, and there's still people pushing stuff like that. I also think the 'screechy-drilly' sound is something that's come forward as it's fan base has changed (at least the majority of it), from garage, grime, dub and jungle heads to scene kids. If you ask me through that fan base, and the producers they spawn, it's become influenced by heavy metal (and other varieties of the such) with Skrillex for example, coming from the band From First to Last, there's a few others as well I care not to remember. Personally I think Skrillex style dubstep is just filthy noise, in it's literal sense rather than the 'filthy noooiiisseee' all the student dubstep lovers bang on about. Generally a bit too electronic for my tastes too. That's all pretty irrelevant, but I think I needed to think through dubstep on paper (kind of) so there you do. To the op: I dunno how to your taste this will be but the kind of dubstep I like can be found in Solitudes Mixes on his Soundcloud. This thread on d&b forum is an absolute gold mine as well.

MadManMike Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Just to add to this, the heavy metal influenced stuff is actually Gorestep, not Dubstep. They are gradually blurring into one genre but the really heavy stuff isn't Dubstep really. For anyone that likes the more chilled out, deep stuff, I suggest you listen to "Burial - Fostercare" - it's an awesome track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Pretty hefty bump, I'm aware - but god damn. I just got this album, and HAD to share it with someone. Remembered this thread. ALL dubstep (the aggressive type, not liquid) enthusiasts should download the album Avenger by Hecq. Here is but a sample of what you can expect: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
