[quote="Stuukaa] bit off topic but
Also for those who are upping Coki on his recent stuff,

Soundcloud

Soundcloud

First one is Coki and Circus crew, second is Coki and Mt Eden. BIG UP!

i'm kidding i'm kidding!
Yeah that's the awful stuff, what went wrong there I don't know! Bizarre!
But still his originals are timeless so yeah![/quote]

yea but read the comments on the first one. the guy makes a serious point. Coki isn't really for home listening (atleast not all). His tunes are pure fire when they're dropped in a dance. :5: :5: :5: :5:

Those new coki bits, went straight to soundcloud, and they probably didn't get cut to dub.
Thats another difference with where we are now.

These honestly sound like jokes or weren't made by Coki. Seriously just listen to them and compare them with anything else old or brand new. There isn't anything that resmbles coki in them and sound super amateur. I mean the first has some macarena sample or something.

believe it or not but those sounds are coming from the man himself, Coki.
the guy posted them up himself on this facebook, majority of the comments weren't positive.

I don't believe they're serious tracks. They sound like they were made in about 5 minutes.If you here his other recent stuff it's actually technically way more ambitious than his older stuff. Properly crazy synth lines in it and still with the signiture coki drums

First two pages of the thread :Q:
Good discussion, I disagreed on a few points (Coki's always brings fire, and Mala and Loefah are too reliable, I know I'm gonna love wherever they go with the music. That said I'm praying for a Loe lp)

I don't mind if dmz nights slow down for a bit 'til the tnucs with their muscles, and aggression, and flashlights move on.

tbh there is a lot in dubstep that still excites me with swamp, medi, the dungeon side, the phenomenon that is skream, artists like martyn, phaeleh, etc.

Tunes that give me hope for the future of the kinds of dubstep I love:




With tunes like these, how can anyone say dubstep is dead?

not sure if anyone saw this but coki's twitter just said "soon come" and then he posted a video of duppy soursap.

so could that be the next DMZ? or maybe it's gonna be with mid june madness on tempa like he said before? what do others think?

I was happy it was released but disappointed by the way it was released. Hopefully, that really was just a glitch and that more are still on the way.

Ahh i tried to read the whole thread before posting but only got as far as the first page before I had to put in my 2 cents.

I agree the Swamp 120/135bpm sound is growing. There is no doubt about that. You don't have to look very far to see artists pushing that sound being added to the more commercial club nights amongst other genres. Its a party vibe. I've just been to the last WHP of the season and the majority of the bill was Techno and Tech/House. The only 3 artists i recognised on the bill and the ones i personally wanted to see were Pearson Sound, Joy Orbison and Julio Bashmore. The reason for that is through their roots in the genre of 'Dubstep'.

It's fair to say that scene is growing but it doesnt mean the other side, the traditional side, is dieing. I still await the information released about the next dmz night in leeds, london or wherever. I still look online and see events all over europe that i think "FUCK I WISH I COULD GO!". I can't believe this idea of dmz becoming less popular. The dmz nights i have attended recently in leeds have been huge. The most recent one in December saw Mala, Coki and Loefah all go b2b2b. It was historic and everyone in the place was hooked. Thats what the people came to see and thats what the people got.

Just look at Outlook 2011. The capacity sold out and it was quite frankly a massive fucking hit. This isnt just a festival in which you just go to. Its in Croatia and so you have to go seriously out of you way and spend some serious money to go and be apart of it. Add that to the fact its going to grow even further in 2012 is proof to me the scene isnt dead.

From what I've heard from people this isn't necessarily a good thing...

I hate a lot of the 120-135 stuff, so I really hope this doesn't happen.

Also I think you underestimate how big Dubstep is now. I doubt they need to do anything other than what they have always done.

Thats something that i dont really get. There is proof that the scene is expanding but in reality we would all love it to stay underground and as discreet as possible. I agree its not a good thing because the likelihood of several nobheads going in 2012 and overcrowding is pretty much a cert but it shows the scene is far from dying.

Ah I hope so! I love Duppy Soursap, such a sick beat and then the Gyptian sample just makes it, amazing track.

stop using this website as a judgement for the health or decline of the scene. this place is just a crossroads for information. its not benchmark. its 1's and 0's and a lot of communal thinking, mixed in with absolute rubbish. its also filled more and more with a lot of people hiding behind screens, pulling others apart, when they could be furthering themselves instead.

DMZ made history due to the music and vibes, and thats not going to change in 2012.
