You Know Your Old Skool Dubstep When...

[vishes]

You used to cuss Garage for getting in the charts, claiming artists had sold out and watered down the sound to make money

so many similarities to dnb
thank god vex'd got me into dubstep despite all the 2step and garage i owned and dubstep before it was called that

Speaking of Vex'd... why haven't we heard anything about them in quite a while now?

To stay on topic: When you have to explain who Mala is...

Here's a little conversation I had with someone at work recently who noticed me checking this forum:

"Oh! Do you also listen to Dubstep bro?"
"... Uhh.. Yeah.. But not the mainstream Dubstep that you probably listen to."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Skrillex and all that."
"Skrillex is sick man! Do you know Sinister Souls or Going Quantum? They're fucking huge bro. "
"No, I don't actually."
"Well what kind of Dubstep do you listen to then?"
"Mala for instance, but you probably have no idea who that is."
"...No. But there are lots of bands nowadays that are underground you know."
"..."

He literally used the word bands...
And then there are people talking about how we have to educate the new ones to the scene. Well believe me, I fucking tried, but it's just no use.
Most of the time they say such retarded things that I just give up. Fuck it.

did you miss their lps?
kuedo - severant
roly porter - aftertime

2 of the best lps of 2011 and vex'd artists solo

[vishes]

No no, didn't miss those. Although I didn't know that Roly Porter was the other half of Vex'd... thanks for the info on that.
But yeah, was more talking about Vex'd, not their solo monnikers.

Cloud Seed is so dense I think it'll be another year or so before I fully appreciate it

[legend4ry]

You can't stand 90% of it coming out these days.

First record i bought was left leg out/blue notez and payed the normal price for it, i used to love taking control of the music at a party playing some classic loefah or toasty and everyone was like turn it off good times

[ultraspatial]

u remember kode9 calling it Grime

Also, I wonder whatever happened to S&D ? Or Vaccine. Wasn't she supposed to release an album or something a few years ago?

I always used to think the sort of stuff that hatcha played sounded really basic and cobbled together, i was massively into garage though which got shit after the millenium because it was either aggro mc's grabbing the mic or too cheesy. Garage Nation was fucking awesome though but i never went to FWD back in the day.

[leeany]

I thought Vex'd split up and Cloud Seed was just a compilation of some unreleased tunes ?

when you have a berkane sol sticker that geiom mailed to you

[rogue star]

when you still listen to Our Sound, Degenerate and the Grime LP and then think to yourself "where the hell did it go wrong?"

Also when you remember Caspa as Quiet Storm

Spotted 2 new copies of the original Grime album in a Parisian department store last week. Should've really bought them in hindsight.

You were one of 20 people at "velvet rooms" and still completely blown away by seeing all your favorite producers under one roof (special shouts out to Zed Bias, Oris, Ms Dynamite, Heartless, Matt Jam Lamont, that night was epic!)

[DJDM]

... you don't put random words in front of "step" to try and make a new genre
