Guest analogue wings Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I've heard both Burial albums and also the new 2652 album. None of it really thrills me, although Burial has some decent moments. Should I assume that I just don't much like dubstep and ignore it in the future? or am i missing something. p.s. - i think shackleton is ok Try Benga. If u don't like - give up and try instrumtental Grime instead - like the Joker EP on Bleep :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worlds Most Johnsson Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 i have to beg to differ that this is less generic, while it is a well mixed great selection of dubstep its the pretty standard plodding predictable affair. yea i guess you're right. i just felt like the parts that are more agressive and up beat in that mix could be something for someone not feeling the other side of dubstep. i myself really got in love with dubstep after that and some of Rusko's other mixes i like the Shackleton and Burial style for great background bobs but i get restless trying to give it my full attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecaseman Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Saw Kode9 last night in Chicago. Awesome set. Played all the new Hyperdub 12"'s and a ton on unreleased stuff from himself and Burial. Setlist went something like this from what I can remember (has a lot of holes): 9 Samurai Quarta 330 remix Skeng Please Spliff Dub (Rustie Remix) Money Honey Find My Way Need You Backward Poison Dart old/unreleased Kode9/Burial/lots of stuff I've never heard 2D Reminissin' Broken Heart (Martyn's DCM Remix) Den Of Drumz Bury Da Bwoy Please/Superman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Soothsayer Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Some recommendations of what I'd consider "instrumental grime": Iron Soul(a Kromestar alias) Macabre Unit Rossi B and Luca Joker Jakes Early Skream and Benga tracks(their EP's on the Big Apple and Southside Dubstars labels) edit: also, GBIII, what do you think of the more tech-y dubstep stuff? Pinch, Peverelist, 2562, etc. Edited July 7, 2008 by Soothsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 *removes 'step'* this is nearly my favourite dub track. with some handy eqing would fit into a +step track why hasn't someone versioned this? think the riddim at least might have been versioned by clouds? could see tes la rok doin a straight cover lol the upsetters - one step dub shit is so very ahead of its time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 holy crap caspa versioning AoN! think i have it in a mix but think dubplate only but if anyone wants to contradict me.... my holy grail is a copy of the benga dub that is usually known as 'mental time sig' :D it made me dance like a pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Soothsayer Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) umm, my "Texas Rhapsody" mix(which I posted here) has that track... ;) edit: And to take it a step further, I added it in a Moments in Love medley(along w/Matty G's take on the track, and Koopsta Knicca's "Crucifix), I was actually kinda proud of that bit...*blush* Edited July 8, 2008 by Soothsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably need either have mad hookups or live in East London tho. I agree fully - it's more diverse, more playful and more dancey So you have heard the Joker EP?

Atop Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 fuck the direction dubstep is going, 2562 and Kit Clayton better be the same person or Clayton needs to kick a motherfucker's ass... Ital Tek, Scuba, 6Blocc, Dusk and Blackdown, and Matty G are the path I would rather the dubstep stay on.... but times are simpler and so are minds, so the 4 on the floor must come back.... there is a reason it is called dubstep and not housestep..... or bassline...... Keep the dub in the dubstep!!!! LAST POST ps...listen to Kit Clayton's 'Nek Sanalet' or 'Repetition and Nonsense' and tell me that 2562 didn't rip that shit off!

I like some of benga's stuff, but i honestly think mags like the Wire praising Afro warrior as genius is one of the most extreme examples of confusing wine with water i've ever seen. pretty good track ive been digging on lately macabre - unit-dreamer_(bonus_track) off of Horror Show Promo. i wish more dubstep and grime was this colorful/playful Edited July 10, 2008 by Awepittance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 for me a lot of the problems with dubstep and most other dance genres is you find like 1 great track from an artist out of every 5 throw-away tracks they make. The most consistently good dubstepish producers ive heard to date are Lich, 2562, and Bass Cleff. Most of their songs are very well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atop Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I agree they are great producers as well, but Kit Clayton did the dubby house thing first and just as well as 2562 imo, and no I don't mean doing the same shit over and over again.....I mean like Ital Tek, Boxcutter, Distance, Toasty Boy, and Bass Clef.... using the bass as the main vehicle and showing skills in production of the beats, but not using a four on the floor rhythm.... that isn't progression........ unless you want some progressive house! I do not........... I still listen to 'electronic music'* *oh my god not that acronym!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
