dubstep is alive and thriving

[sigbowls]

if you could smoke weed in the club dubstep would be alive for ever

Some producers may feel that they have transcended the genre
and call their output post-dubstep
to avoid admitting they've reverted to house/techno/ambient
but those semantics of little consequence to steppas.

...At the moment they feel they're treading new territory, but it's just a reinvention of the wheel. A good reinvention, admittedly, which will give these tired styles a much needed re-invigoration. Dubstep however, what *I* would term as dubstep, the deep, sub fuelled rolling stuff championed by Deep Medi, Anti Social, et al is still as fresh as ever. I just don't care for the tired, lame, mid-saturated dry-arsed quasimodo-step that's currently the defacto student piss-up excuse.

I'm sure there's lots of us feel the same way but it makes me feel good to know for sure that there are two.

it really is true tbh. but with the additional few "nu-skool" techniques that comes with progressing technology.

i feel the same way about "wonky"/glitch-hop. it's more or less hip-hop, just re-realized (if that even makes sense) and incorporating next elements.

but rather than separate us, i feel like this thought solidifies all the different expressions of the sound even more... leaves on the tree and all that...

the sound has definitely been raised to new levels (and new lows) across the board atm, it's a really exciting time to be on the dancefloor!
