Major Key Dubstep

[sofa_king]

Does it exist?
I know the music is characteristically dark, but with the reggae influences and whatnot, it seems to me that it wouldn't be that unnatural. Mind you, I'm not talking about "happy" vs "sad" music, since I don't consider most of this stuff "sad." I mean like harmonically major key tunes. Some of Burial's tracks play around with major harmonies (the end of Shell of Light), but I can't really think of anyone else.
Any ideas?
Has anyone tried experimenting with major key composition?

thats a good point
most of the stuff ive heard, and the stuff i make is in Minor

the only one i can think of right now is Warm Easy by Konnek Deep?

bare dubstep has major key influences.. check out my music theory tutorial if you don't believe me lol.

Benga's "crunked up" has some major chords thrown in with a few diminished chords..

just experiment as much as you can - music is an art, not a science: so it would be wrong to say that dubstep music can't have major scales

Depends what you do with it. Looks like i'm self promoting like a dickhead here but its on topic, check out optimism on my virb/spizzle. 'tis in a major key, 'cause in the context of dubstep I like to use major chords to turn the mood into a kind of reflective sadness (or maybe that's just how i'm hearing it). In general I definately see a distinction between the two in terms of what kind of track you're making. You could even create tonally-indistinguishable tracks with dirty noises and whack some major chords in there to confuse people who were thinking in the minor

Check out "Delight" by Distance. It's in G Major, but still manages to keep a kind of dark feel to it. Really great tune.
