my rating for this 'guide to dubstep' : i give it a mehhhh
i live in san francisco and go to dubstep shows usually 2-3 times a month, mostly at clubs but also some of the bigger venues. i am usually rolling balls and love to dance. maybe i will be considered a philistine by this online community, but i can honestly say that love this genre with all of my heart
I watched this vid by christina grimme with her rockin out to skrillex and im like aaaaahhhhh love it so then i like listened to him for the rest of the day, and then i discovered some more dubstep and gave "dub fever" to most of my friends. I've also noticed a lot of hate for skrillex on youtube and this site, and just because hes gay and has a very um.... unique haircut I love him more than anything in the world and I think that everyone thinks that he's trying to hog dubstep and take all its glory for himself, when hes not. He has his OWSLA label to support other dubsteppers, and you can't judge someone by their sexuality.
In other news, I've always thought this thread would be better if the first post started with the basics (Anti-War Dub, Haunted, Midnight Request Line, Night, Goat Stare, Archangel, things of that ilk) rather than jumping straight into post-dubstep and the really, really underground shit. Any chance they could be edited into the OP ahead of the other stuff? Probably better that they're the first things newbies hear, rather than James Blake haha
) I'd love to support this great topic! Will also try to offer some variaty in my selection of tunes 
Big shouts to everyone involved. I've check all the pages and will try not to repeat anyone ;] ez
