Questionaire for A2 Media dubstep project: Please help!

[tomshughes]

I'm working on a project at my college for media and am doing it all on Dubstep but there is not a big enough audience within the college to get the research information I need.

So I thought this would be the best way.

It would be a huge help if you could spare a minute and provide me with some answers. Thanks in advance

Haven't really got a favourite producer and as I have lived in Cambridge up until the last month haven't seen loads of live sets. However have seen Skream a few times and he is a top producer.
My favourite DJ is N-type though and I've seen him once.

Everything from its hardhitting basslines you want skank your cock off to all night, to the deep melodies of some of the more subtle tunes, the versatility of the sound and the fact that there are so many producers around the world trying to do their own thing with it.
