does anyone here actually listen to dubstep anymore?

[idontreallygiveashit]

I follow specific artists but i'm not fussed about the scene as a whole, i dont think i ever was to be honest, i just like specific artists and their music. Quite bored of music in general.

[horsefeather]

i still listen to dubstep producers/DJs that are still pushing the real sound, but atm i'm listening more to reggae, dub, hiphop and rock bands

[particle-jim]

I still listen to dubstep a lot but I like so much other diffrrent music too

[noam]

haven't made conscious decision to not listen to it, still get the traks out and mix em every now and then

just on the same journey for new music that excites me as i was when i found dubstep... all there is to it really

[kingldub]

Now and then, sure. There's still a fair amount of stuff coming out that I really like actually. On a bit of a 92-93 Hardcore tip right now though.

[dubfordessert]

too male orientated

Thats how I read it.

I kid. I kid.

lol. i find the crowd to be a lot less female-unfriendly than mainstream clubs & some other genres. its a bit of a paradox on nights out that if there is a lot of women men will be more interested in sexytime than if there is a minority of women. that said i do find it a bit awks being the only woman sometimes

also one of the reasons i dont like aggy tearout stuff is because it promotes an aggressive climate which i find threatening lmao.

[gwa]

still listen to old ruffage, stella and yunx shows once every few months.

mainly just listen to audio recordings of me having a wank these days.

[wub]

Yes, but in terms of specific tunes I'm finding it harder to find stuff that interests me, or more importantly doesn't sound like the same stuff I've heard over and over. There is still a shit ton of identikit dungeonesque crap that I come across that sounds like bad Biome imitation.

Mixes wise, Forensics is a must grab every time he posts a new one, and Tornado put up one recently that I loved, so he's on the list as well.

If I was in London tonight I'd be down SYSTEM without a doubt, but here in Madrid I've yet to find a decent dubstep (or DnB night come to that matter) that isn't tearout/bro/clownstep, which is big here for some reason.

does grime have the same effect on you re aggression?

[Genevieve]

Not that much atm. Electronic music wise, most of the shit I've been digging lately has been.. like.. the techstep - hardcore (gabber/industrial. etc kind, not rave) spectrum. Tech Itch, Dylan, Killing Sheep, DJ Producer, N-Vitral, Outside Agency, Limewax, Deathmachine. Heads in the breakcore thread probably noticed haha.

I'm not 'too cool for it', I've just kinda heard it. I still love the stuff that made really get into it, but I've been more 'loving it from a distance'. Sometimes you just love music, but can't appreciate it the way you used to I guess.

Same here.


And yeah, Gene, I've really been getting into techstep lately. A lot of good stuff out there!

[bright maroon]

I'm having problems keeping up with music these days - there's so much of it...


I recently purchased that Gotye Making Mirrors because of the Hype...and the snippets I heard sounded good...
but I felt it was overtly retro...

and all the singing was getting on my neves - thought it was like the new Beck or something...


and ended up liking Tycho Dive better...alot better

[Clean]

I dont know about you guys but I only listen to burial now.

[Aurokh]

I've really been enjoying the ambient stuff, Phaeleh, Submerse, Ghostek. I used to listen to Downlink, Excision type stuff but it grew old quickly. I like a lot of the ambient garage stuff too.

[ehbes]

Check out ital tek

[wolf89]

Phaeleh honestly is painfully boring in my opinion

[LACE]

fuck yes i still do. i can't detach myself from any genre of music i love. it's forever.

[kidshuffle]

I love dubstep
it's too bad people are too cool for it now
their loss imo

too true, dubstep is still cool my books.

i just dont care about being on top of every release anymore, and distanced myself from the subculture of it...or maybe found my place idk. all i know is i still enjoy going to shows regardless of who is playing
