Hip-Hop had the advantage of being born before the age of information (the internet).
It had time to develop naturally into the complex subculture it is today. Dubstep didn't have a chance.
If Hip-Hop was a fully developed husky feared by millions, then Dubstep is the inbred chihuahua on steroids incapable of living but adored by billions.

I am truly, honestly interested in reading a reasonable / valid critique about the guy.
Is it because he's like "the mainstream of dubstep" or something?

I'm asking that, because most DNB droids I know, hate Pendulum because it's <i>mainstream</i> and <i>too popular</i>.

ok, well it's just personal taste innit. It's nothing to do with his popularity, it's his sonic choices and the music made which strike me as spangly and brain dead. But it's just opinion and I watched his CM masterclass thing like everyone else.

Well, this "Marmite Theory" is pretty much applicable when talking about Dubstep in general.
Dubstep (imo) is such a unique style, the possibility of someone finding it entertaining or not is 50% - 50%.

The first dubstep song I ever heard was yeeeaaars ago and it was some minimalistic crap (same kicks and snares that you hear in minimal techno today) and when years later I heard RUSKO - FUN HOUSE, I almost shat bricks - It was a huge surprise.
I think it was his first impression that made me like his other works.

I admit, he makes some pretty fucked up beats.. it's almost like Crunk Dubstep, if you know what I mean.

Well, I'm sorry then. I'm glad you corrected me. Thanks for the info.
..It's strange, because everywhere I searched for the song "Fun House" it did say "The others" but then it had "by Caspa Rusko".. so.. what the fawk?

I still like him though. His Cockney Knees Up mix is quite brain bashing.
.. I accept that people have different tastes, and I won't force my opinion onto others, but I simply can't resist his skull drilling, brain penetrating basses and beats.

For myself, the most pronounced would be LTJ Bukem, Benga, Rusko and Point1
I wasn't born into this world; I was logged in.

Also.. I'm not from the UK, you see.. I only know about 1 Dubstep producer in my country.. his name is Cadik. He is considered to be a (nationally) well known producer..
Us, Hungarians really need some update, because I'm starting to get tired of Drum and bass.. I mean it's alright I still do visuals for DnB parties, and enjoy it, but.. when you hear the same damn break beat from 10pm to 7am, it gets annoying.

That sounded quite poetic...

I'd say that's probably the case... A lot of dubsteps initial qualities have been lost to the 'rusky sound' that's becoming far more popular these days...
I have a mate who's releasing dubs at the moment and he was refused a more 'jump up' type dubsteppa lately, he says labels are looking for the more ambient stuff again...

I guess it might be you who need an update :) I am not from Hungary yet I have known a great Hungarian producer called Ekaros for more than 3 years. but maybe you don't know him because you would just consider his music "some minimalistic crap" anyway... www.myspace.com/ekaros

I see why you as a dnb head love Rusko's "wall-of-sound" kind of dubstep but the minimalism is exactly what got me into dubstep and actually that's what appealed to most people on this forum some years ago. at the time not many people would have a point in considering dubstep just a "slow version of dnb".

but after Caspa & Rusko's Fabric Live that's exactly what happened and all the dnb heads are jumping on the train thinking dubstep is good enough for them after all. luckily there is plenty of different tastes of dubstep, so I guess everyone can be happy :) but I wanted to say to you that you'll miss a lot of great music if you just look for Rusko-like tunes in dubstep

mostly in places like Hungary and Slovakia where the scenes are really small this is killing the original vibe of dubstep nights because I can already see the growing number of people who come a dubstep night and they expect the huge dirty basslines, massive drops, etc. it really is not what dubstep is about, it's about and a bassline driven rhythmical diversity with more spacey beats ranging from techno and house through breaks to 2step and even hip-hop.
3 things I miss most from the UK... swede, cider and the music scene!

John Cage (pure experimental musician, the 1st person to record a vinyl scratch on a vinyl deck, was the 1st true electronic musician back in the day 1940s style)

Brian Eno (for inventing ambient music)

lots of dub (for the engineering and use of new technologies in the 60s)

Physchedelic music from the 60s (for making trippy music)

To many to list to be honest :roll:
