Hotflush guest reviews/feature coming up in the forthcoming XLR8R

is this is a good mag?

dq · Post by dq » Mon Oct 31, 2005 11:15 am

very good mag. kode 9 wrote a cover story on dubstep there quite a few years ago. one of the few u.s. mags to stay focused on dance music (rather than branching out to feature hip hop / indie rock / etc)

Exactly... A good mag indeed... In July 2002 this mag dedicated the cover to Dubstep... Look... http://www.xlr8r.com/magazine.php?uid=9 ... 9AF7D1ED6D

it's a great mag. ive subscribed for years. some issues, and some features are hit or miss, but i always find a more than a few things of interest. and it's nicely designed.

Didn't they coin the term "Dubstep?"

XLR8R is the only music mag worth reading IMO, with the occasional exception of the Wire. It has both style and interesting content, the latter which is missing in every other music mag I can think of.

XLR8R did not coin the term dubstep.

I couldn't tell you the specific person who coined it, but keep in mind that the dubstep feature in XLR8R that you're talking about was written by Kode 9, and the term had been in circulation on Hyperdub.com for awhile before then, so logically it had to have come from within (or close to) the inner circle of early supporters of the sound: Tempa, Ghost, Ammunition...

Yeah, I wasn't sure, that's why I was asking.. Just quotin this:

Lol - Agreed!

Large bits of that issue were written by Dave Stelfox (now a big dancehall and crunk journalist), though Kode 9 wrote the Ghost piece. I think he possibly coined the term 'yardcore' too.

subframe · Post by **subframe** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 9:39 pm

'yardcore' dates back to at least '96 or '97. No idea what it means exactly, but I remember it hearing it that long ago.

as far as i remeber yardcore was refering to early prejungle hardcore breakbeat

spaceboy · Post by **spaceboy** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 11:47 pm

prejungle hardcore breakbeat?

you mean hardcore or acid right? i dont remember any term as 'Yardcore'

i like the term yardcore tho, lets revive it.

so what constitutes yardcore music nowadays?

dq · Post by dq » Tue Nov 01, 2005 12:44 am

i'd say yardcore is the particular path along the hardcore continuum with reggae sensibilities

basically picking up where junglism left off.

Some recent and quite interesting yardcore on the 2freh label. Heavy business.
