<b>a)</b> "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"

<b>b)</b> "I see why you as a dnb head love Rusko"

<b>c)</b> "considering dubstep just a "slow version of dnb"."

<b>d)</b> you'll miss a lot of great music if you just look for Rusko-like tunes in dubstep"

<b>e)</b> 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.

---

<b>a)</b> Yeah, he might be good, but ever since I was forced to listen to Gigabytes of minimal techno, those samples simply sicken me..
Sorry, from a musician's point of view, his songs might be good,
but because of my personal problem with the sound of these drums,
I simply can't enjoy it.

<b>b)</b> Now, I know you didn't say that with bad intentions, I really do.
But since it's my philosophy, that a real musician is never stuck with one style,
that line did kinda offend me - nothing serious, I just feel sad when people label me and/or place me onto "social lists" without good reason.
I'm no d'n'b head, I dislike them, hence the name "droids". I have a band, and we play all kinds of music (metal, blues, reggae, progressive rock, and are now working on combining dubstep with pogressive metal.. <i>progressive dubcore..lol</i>

<b>c)</b> Well, anyone who thinks so is just.. wrong.
Dnb is actually a faster version of Hip-Hop, so if we slowed it down,
we'd not get Dubstep, but either a jazzy break beat, or an oldschool hip-hop beat. To me, Dubstep is like Dub with house characteristics (techno, dnb, etc).

<b>d)</b> I don't only listen to Rusko. Please, take no offense in what I'm going to tell you now, but don't make up statistics this definite.
You have very little amount of information about me and my taste.
When I hear the word "Dubstep" I don't automatically think of Rusko.
I only like his songs because they are good to listen to when I'm working on designs.
I think Burial deserves far more respect than Rusko, and It's Burial that had a very good impression on me. I also listen to Benga a lot.
I have at least 5GB of Dubstep, and I love 85% of it.

<b>e)</b> You're right on that one; In countries like these, people will only hear of the more popular artists, like Rusko, and will think "Oh, then this must be what Dubstep is really about!" which I know is wrong.

I have nothing against you, don't misunderstand this message.
I'm just really against first-impressions and labeling people.

I don't sound like Rusko, do I?
..I know the song isn't good,
but that's because I finally got MASSIVE and I was experimenting with it.

PS: Sorry about the long post.

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.

Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Telefon Tel Aviv really pushed me into electronic music.

With Dubstep i'd say it was the Garage Pressure mixes that gave me the bug, and then hearing 'Surgery' by Kromestar which really made me want to experiment with the darker side of production.

Money

and

Girls
