Uh Hello. It has been a long time since I joined a new forum and my usual forum is somewhat abrasive-so bear with me.
I am somewhat new to dubstep-I do not know the lingo or many of the artists and history. I have an extensive background in industrial music. I have been producing industrial since 1995 and I have gotten to the point where I do not find it challenging anymore. I like to experiment with heavy rhythms, bass, and noise. So dubstep seemed like a logical move. I guess I was first introduced to this music through Mick Harris and Scorn. I have been listening to him since "Evanescence". Scorn fits in well with some of my favourite experimental bands like COIL, Nurse With Wound, NON, and Illusion Of Safety. Then just over a year ago I heard Milanese for the first time. I was immediately hooked on that filth. That is the kind of dubstep I like- I am not sure if it is some sub-genre or something. But I like it filthy, raw, and noisy. Since then I have found some more favourites. I like stuff like 16 Bit, Skream, Exillion, Broken Note, Displacer, Marching Dynamics and NOISIA. I want to find more artists like this and I want to hone my own sound in those themes.
Music-wise I have a 50/50 set up. I used hardware and software equally.
My DAW is Cubase SX.
