Wonk/Dubstep

Post by dubstep_scum » Wed Mar 09, 2011 10:05 pm

So, i've just finished Crooks and Lovers by Mount & Kimbie (yeah I know it's not hot news anymore).

I was really impressed with the quality and ingenuity of the album. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before in the Wonk/dubstep fusion.
I'm pretty new to the Wonk scene and it's not so big to begin with.

I was blown away by;
Mount & Kimbie - Before I Move Off

Do yourself a favor a listen to the end.
if anybody know anything just remotely as good or equivalent to this, PLEASE post!

also; feel free to discuss Wonk i general.

I have never heard of wonk, but James Blake is a guy you should check!

I don't think anyone is "worried" about the name, just curious about it. I've heard the term "wonky" used in reference to beat styles, but never wonk. And you didnt even suggest any artists, lol

Double sigh

Great suggestions all! Eskmo/welder sometimes has a wonky feel to his drums as does blawan, but that maybe to far off from what your looking for

whilst i hate the wonky term it definitely describes guys like hudmo/ikonika/rustie/flying lotus a lot better than mt kimbie/blake/mrfox etc.

Not sure if it accurately describes any sound tbh

Ikonika is a far cry from Hudmo imho

Yeah, terms like these are always so subjective :)

Slugabed anyone?

I really thought the thread title said "Wank/Dubstep" for a second there. My mistake.

Anyway, be sure to check out Pariah. Detroit Falls has been seeing a lot of play recently. Love that tune.

shameless self promotion :)

http://soundcloud.com/formatnone/format-none-ice-tea -this is basicly trying to ripoff mount kimbie :)

basicly in my opinion james blake/mount kimbie type of thing is a more dubstep thing, and hud mo, shlohmo, fly lo etc, is more on the "beats" side.

By the title, I wrongly assumed this thread was about ketamine and dubstep :cornlol:
