How did you get into dubstep?

[killer b]

I was looking for some music for choreography, and somehow I landed on "9 Samurai". Fell in love with the song and bought a crap ton of tracks that day.

9 Samurai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[noam]

I was on Beatport and wondered what the fuck it was.

i tried that when i was on Juno or Redeye and clicked on B'More... suffice to say Baltimore Club Music has yet to have an effect

2004/5, art school portfolio class... a british kid used Kode9's 'Swarm' in his demo reel. After class I hit him up and got some mixes off of him. Fan ever since.

watching skins...(the first two series the third and fourth are horrible though they play spliff dub by joker in one of the episodes in the fourth )

[knivez]

homiez kept feeding me mixes and then i heard that one song that just blew me the fuck out......

[ushushnz]

Skreamizm Vol:1. 'Untitled' still gets me every time...

[noam]

Went to Outlook like first year it was on because it looked nice and sunny.
Haven't looked back, probably one of the best weeks of my life even though I feel in the sea with my ipod and passport.

all hyped up for tectonic 2 cause of the skream track: get driven into the more deep, percussive element of dubstep. switch over from caspa and rusko

the real question is
"how are any of us ever going to get out of dubstep?"

the real question is
"how are any of us ever going to get out of dubstep?"

this makes little to no sense.

anyone from britain will know what this man has to say on the matter

[aleks zen]

found some mixes on the net, but it was notably MAH's dubstep warz show around 2006 that got me into it..

[Y_H]

through an album about 2 years ago or something, called heaviest dubstep, grime and bass.

Late 2007, was browsing the Sytrus Patches section of the FL Studio forums. Some guy had uploaded clips of Red Eye and Spongebob, asking how he could emulate the bass. Searched around and found the first Tectonic Plates album - been hooked ever since.

[luthervandub]

Had heard a few tunes and thought it was alright

Then listened to Skreamizm Vol 1 and 2 and was just blown away

[BORGER]

2004/2005, When i heard. First the Skream-BigApple mix, then Kode9-Babelmix. Been addicted ever since then!

[Dead Rats]

Heard some being played through a pirate station in about 2002/2003, and thought "fuck, that is bassy." Then just heard and liked the odd snippet now and again as I was still a metalhead, and I'm not ashamed to say when I heard the FabricLive 37 mix, I was hooked.

i used to think it was all stupid and nothing but meaningless sounds, but that changed when i went to a dubstep night. i dont think the mainstream and stuff on youtube do it justice.
