lol, 2004?

Coki - 'Red Eye' released: April 2007
Coki - 'Spongebob' released: October 2007
Various - 'Tectonic Plates LP' released: October 2006
Typo!! I meant 2007 lol

I thought that must have been some proper advance promo business

Listening to a Rinse FM podcast in November 2007, was Plastician & Nomad I think. Couldn't believe what I was hearing at the time

remember hatcha made me listen to hydro and jungle infiltrator instead of a couple of watery 8 bar grime tracks.....

Big Apple FTW, used to love getting the train up and legging it down to the market

Outside of a few tracks, I pretty much hated on dubstep before Miami WMC last year.

Then, the Fool's Gold Party happened....

Annie Mac, Fake Blood, Drop the Lime, A-Trak, Craze and a fuckton more dropped the sickest dubstep. Instant conversion.

Here it is a year later and I nearly spin dubstep 80-90% of the time.

Miami tends to do that for me. <3

Yeeeh, hence why I said "branched out". If I never listened to dnb in the first place I highly doubt I would have got in to dubstep. X

Saw Bassnectar in Portland (April '07).

Was also my first time mixing LSD with other magical ingredients.

Needless to say, it was an eye-opening occasion and my idea of electronic music and life in general shifted after that night.

Stay in school.

I was chilling in this boat with my servant when all of a sudden, this crazy bitch rose from the lake and offered me an acetate.
When I got home and tossed that shit on the wheels, I was like, "holy fucking hell, this is Dubstep I think!".
Never looked back, true story.

Aright guys? New here, pls go easy!

I'll be honest, I didn't get Dubstep for the first year or so. Most of what I was hearing was the ploddy head-nod stuff. I like that stuff now, but it's not really what I want to hear when I'm in a club.

When I went along to my first Dubstep night (Benga at Volume!) that all changed. Benga played banger after banger, mostly jump-up and hearing that kind of bass on a big system did it for me.

Am an old-school Raver, got into Hardcore in 92 and followed it right through to DnB in 2002 but got bored with it.

To me, Dubstep IS the Hardcore Continuum.

Try to make it along to Volume most months now and almost exclusively listen to Dubstep now, electronica wise at least.

Anyway, aright?

Been following d+b since @93-94...

@2005-6 Kept seeing the term Dubstep popping up...
Thought it was like - the new techstep or something..

speed garage or whatever...

Finally got around to listening - one of Moldys mixes - he posted on another board

and loved it instantly - I think a high point in drum and bass was @ 95-96
jumpup tunes were big - just before hardstep hit, or as it was hitting..

when zinc, hype, and andy c were runnin' it...44 mag type

So the dubstep sounded to me like, producers went back to that golden age..
and took it forward - to a different place - it is a perfect retro movement..for me
brought the funk back - matured it

First heard it when I was out in the Rainbow Warehouse in Sept 08, thinking it was some fucked up lovechild of bassline house and drum & bass - I was wankered. Then my mate played me "Cockney Thug" [yeah, I know] a few months later and told me it was dubstep. Been obsessed ever since.

Quality blast from the past, but I always preferred this one from B-Jam...

those are sort of anthems...I could dig deeper I guess

That was an anthem too! Certainly at the raves I was going to like Helter Skelter, Dreamscape, etc.
