Is dubstep gonna be the last 'type' of London dance music?

it will be the last cause all the bulgarians and romanians are taking british peoples social housing and jobs away

no more british dance music, just gypsy beats in the future

The psy scene in the UK is good, same with dance in general. It's just not to be played out a lot I think

Old. Boring. Most likely what you are tbh.

I think Spaces are the next frontier - like, dedicated physical spaces, maybe with unique sound system configurations which in turn influence/reinforce innovation in the music being played back on 'em. No longer one-size-fits-all... you'll actually have to have the proper gear to play the proper records in that space. Psychoacoustic headfuckery. Like the Audium but with beats. The combination of physical locality with specialized equipment will filter out the dregs long enough for nascent sounds to be explored and developed in much the same way that regional scenes used to develop pre-internet.

The problem with that is it confines music solely to one space, one (small) audience. It has very little market value unless your audience is comprised of millionairs. And with little market value, there is little reason to release music in that way. Musicians wants to reach an as large as possible audience, under most circumstances. The model you're proposing is rather limiting.

I think London's soundsystem culture was a bit of an isolated island with its own weird mutations, but its product had global appeal. And without that global appeal, I don't think that it could've thrived the way it did, because the big name producers had to partially rely on their international success for their longevity.

Stephen O'Malley disagrees.

the st johns sessions shows all have bespoke sound tuned for teh space and what the artist wants, worth checking one of them out.

after Scotland votes for cessesion
London will have the influence of
say, Melbourne, Madrid or Montevideo,
the last of which may well become the centre of human culture
because of its mounds of audiovisuality.
Londres will become as lacking in influence as Lisbon.

I'm not 100% they're going to vote that way you know

[nousd]

im not either
but the polls are showing a closer result

if Londoners want to retain dance influence
they should be courting Glaswegians
and Gravious
imo
