good to see, though i wish he'd covered more canadian stuff. it was the same when he wrote about grime 2 years ago. i'd love to see the cbc start recognizing this stuff as a real presence in canada and therefore worthy of more (and recurring) air time, not one off reports.

still cool though. out to the toronto guys.

yo, i hear that

i was the one he interviewed. we spoke for a few hours, so there was a lot covered. i figured he'd go more in depth about the canadian scene, as we spoke about that quite a bit, but whatever, subtrac gets the mention and at this point i guess that's good enough for me!

Great quote in the article Joe!

I am just pleased to see more recognition of dubstep in journalism. I thought this was a great article! Very happy to see Houston get a mention too.

Producers need to start uploading shit to NewMusicCanada.com. That is the only way they'll see more airtime. With Brave New Waves dead and gone, the mother Corp is up in the as to what will happen with "modern music" but the most immediate try right now is to get it on the satelitte radio and podcast alley that is CBC Radio 3.

Then again, I have been planning on pitching a dubstep pieve to my former employers at R3 for a while..

i can't believe they did in BNW like that. they haven't got a clue. they should be looking to 1xtra for ideas - ie making it a network that a broad section of younger people would actually listen to before midnight - rather than dumping all of the 'youth' stuff onto a satellite channel that no 'youth' will be willing to pay for. the odd after dinner sloan concert isn't going to save a sinking ship from the indifference of the ascendant demographic ffs.

Fantastic job by the writer, i honestly dont think that even the BBC could of pulled of an article that is so well informed. Big up for that CBC.

I do truly beieve that the Global exosure that Dubstep has had around the world owes a lot to D&B though, it kind of layed the foundations of urban London music to a lot of people which means we are going to see more and more promoters from countries like America, Aus, NZ, Brazil and Eastern Europe booking UK acts. I'm sure D&B only has 18 months to 2 years left of popularity (some may disagree) so roll on the Dubstep years...........................

You cant give the Internet credit for everything...

Hit me up on aim at some point and I'll explain the entire downfall to you.
As long as the median age of management is over 50+, they may never sort their shit out.

Nice. I agree with some of aformentioned posts regarding lack of Canadian
content, but nonetheless, a solid piece of journalism. Once again proper respect due to the Crew pushing the sound across the North.
