Got a friend who needs introducing to Dubstep? Use this....

[call me uncle]

Right, my first post so Hi!

I come from a background of Breakbeat / Heavy Electro and have been dipping in and out of Dubstep for a couple of years.

Now I'm getting into it I'm trying to introduce mates but they're not interested, they say it's "Too Slow, Boring, Dull, No MCing...." - We've all heard it!

So I put together this mix for a friend. A bit about the mix:

- It's very commercial / "easy" Dubstep so probably not for the purists!
- It was recorded live on Ableton, then tweaked so probably 90% live, 10% post production
- The mix is only my third "proper" mix, my first dubstep
- It was intended to show off the music and not my mixing skills! (though no excuses!!!)

I would love some feedback on transitions, track selection, mix order, the samples used etc

Hope you enjoy this, or a "beginner" mate does.

Yooo i gave ur mixa listen but before tht sweet bout the electro background.
Considerin this is ur 3rd ever proper mix and ur 1st dubstep this is really gd, good flow of one song to the next. Can definatly see meself listening to it again and showing it to 1st time dubsteppers too. However, dya think it might have bin better to divide up the mix into individual tracks? so not one solid mp3 but chopped it up so 1st timers could see who did what song?

Keep up the good work

Thanks! I think my background gives the mix more "house" style transitions which I think suites dubstep.

You're right about the continuous mix, but Ableton only exports the audio as one whole file.......I need to find a program that I can use to chop it up, I'll do that right now!
