If you listen to 03/04 sets by Hatcha, with all the early Skream, Benga, Mala & Loefah stuff, his style was dubbed "oingy boingy" and was dominated by dense rolling percussion, esp with bongos, congas etc. Highly recommended and pretty much the foundations of dubstep. Shackleton's initial productions, for example, were inspired by tracks from this era like Mala's "Conference".

All that melts away when the lights are down and the bass is up.

the flip of this is the one for me... but oddly not on youtube:
kode and badawi:
this was really the vibe that got me into dubstep in 2005; the fact that it's largely disappeared in clubs is dissapointing to me. the interest in the really rhythmic side of dubstep has eroded in the states over the last 2 years.
That second tune is sick, might have a go at making some tribal dubstep.
And how will you inquire into a thing when you are wholly ignorant of what it is? Even if you happen to bump right into it, how will you know it is the thing you didn't know?
Prefer this to 'tribal' thh. Fewer prog house connotations
It was the tablas and bongos as much as the space and bass that got me into all this b.i.t.d...
This tune has more oing for your boing than most others:
And this one:

i think over here they're all too close minded and afraid of grooving to anything that isn't the same old half time "kick on 1, snare on 3" beat. it's always been the other stuff that's gotten me most excited.
