Coki really owns this thread for better or worse.

I was thinking of Spongebob... was that the first tune to use that grating distorted sound? Seems like loads of tunes use it now but not sure if Spongebob was the first. Coki's so far ahead of people they make him look bad by ripping him off.

El-B "The Club"
Artwork "Red"

I want 2000 words on each tune and its influence on the entire scene by Friday, Clark.

I was thinking Spongebob but also older stuff and the amount of Coki clone halfstep that came about off the back of Mood dub etc.

Night, Spongebob, Midnight Request Line, Anti-War Dub, Left Leg Out, Officer Dub, Cockney Thug, Japan, Sensi Dub, Unite, Colourful (I know BARE people who got into dubstep after hearing it on Skins), Not Over Yet Skreamix...

One tune which seemed not to have much influence on other producers at all was Anti War Dub... correct me if I'm wrong though. I just haven't heard many other tunes that have got such a strong house influence in them since... then again most of Mala's tunes have that influence.

I was thinking more along the lines of influencing other producers within the genre but that sort of influence is important too yes

I'd defo mark Root/Goat Stare and Mud/Ruffage as highly influential... to think how few people were working with halfstep before they heard these beats..

martin I'd agree that Horror Show was the first, but dmz 6 and 9 were released when dubstep was really gaining momentum worldwide.

Skream - Blipstream.
The mother of all wobblers that spawned a million imitations.

Yeah, I think house was way more of an influence on the pre-2003 stuff, Mala seems to be one of the few keeping on that tip at the moment. Real shame to be honest, would be a good contrast to the current sounds.
