Yes. Or, learn some interpersonnal skills and know when someone's body-language means fuck off.

lol @ the body language remark - its not about having some kethead follow you round all night cos he's decided your his mate, and just doesn't get the message that you don't wanna be friends with a guy that dribbles and sits down a lot

EDIT - oh how negative, the irony

Personally i would like to see more events which are being backed specifically by radio stations and their resident Dj's ...i know im waiting for a Sub FM event

A greater awareness by the masses re Dubstep's actual roots in 2-step and the rich music heritage that came before the movement as we know it.

Also..this is probably old hat,but most importantly to me,i want to see a new era of producers taking this music forward in their own hands,with the majority of artists producing what they actually feel is good and not what a specific group of people determin is...sorry had to say it,no offence intended!

i understand the 2 step roots, although I dont think they are as relevant as they used to be in the sound, and I think thats a good thing, no good looking back all the time.

Does annoy me that taking influence from something is seen as looking back and this always seems to be only used against garage. It's not like downtempo electronica, minimal techno, dub reggae and techstep, which you can hear echoes of in most current dubstep, aren't old musical styles.

Burial, TRG, Martyn, Unlikely, Whistla and various others are not doing this off a cosy nostalgia trip, just utilising their loves of those styles in new contexts, and sounding way more unique than the endless clones copying what's about today.

I do agree that it's less relevant, but it's still a part of it, and one that seems to be gaining strength through dissatisfaction with current sounds which, let's face it, is what kicked off dubstep in the first place.

I think your replying to my post with (understandably) jaded eyes. But I wasn't suggesting some kind of nostalgia trip from said artists at all, infact thats the kinda stuff Im more likely to bop too.

I just find there is this matter of when someone goes "wheres the sound from" some people tend to go

"GARAGE ITS FROM GARAGE, FROM LONDON, GARAGE GARAGE GARAGE GARAGE"

which to me, defeats the whole point of why dubstep is good (its "best bits of lots of different electic styles make up")

Fair enough, I do understand why the rest of the planet might be in return jaded with the constant Londonocentric legacy, and there's no great reason why you have to appreciate "then" to get to "now". Only when people start arguing that it's an offshoot of dnb (which in part it is becoming) that I think someone's really missed something, and that sort of revisionism I think should be left to various world dictators.
