The more underground "our" style dubstep goes the better IMO. I wish the more commercialised dubstep could be more easily seperated from the old sounds. End of the day its all dubstep and it always will be a collaboration of the deep and bro-step styles and we should all accept that. If we like it, we listen to it, if we dont then we dont continue to listen to it and look more into the producers work.

I would say Skrillex represents a "part" of dubstep but not dubstep as a whole, he helps show the variety of producing skills that goes into making dubstep tunes not just how low they can get the sub bass, which dont get me wrong, I love, and Im not saying any song by Loefah or Distance for example which has just low sub bass and a kick-snare combination shows any less producing talent than lots of different sounds by Skrillex. Basically its all to do with how each producer uses sounds to produce tunes that we love, some more than others.

I also agree with what someone said earlier about how Skrillex appears to be improving, not gonna lie, i would love to see him collab with people like Flux, cos then he might tone the high pitch messy madness down but still keep that cool electro sound he makes along with some cool rhythms with the help from some more elite producers.

Im gonna get in the shower now and have a wank....

I had a VIDEO interview scheduled with Skrillex, which has been re-scheduled....PLEASE dont shoot me down yet..... - perhaps consider what a great discussion would have been. Arguably the biggest "dubstep" artist of today by popularity - and to ask him directly, his views and comparison's to the UK sound....to then discuss the sound that GetDarker is passionate about....and perhaps more importantly, where he views the 'genre' is heading.

As this was re-scheduled; we we're offered this video exclusively (almost as an apology) for the late re-arrangement.

We took two views:
1. GetDarker does't include anything of Skrillex, yet he's a major part of 2011's dubstep (irrespective of your views, agreement - its a Fact)...
2. Eager viewers wanting to see the exclusive video; will be forced to trip over other content, generally our UK side.
(perhaps to our pureist fans, it was a bad move - but i still stand by it).

Reading comments of "selling-out" I find very dissappointing; we could have sold out years ago, and again very recently. We haven't. We continue to remain 100% independent. And posting ONE article (in 9 years) which isnt well-received isn't a bad track record.

For those who know me persoanlly, or our regular viewers - are well aware of mine and the teams area's of dubstep that we're passionate about...and I can assure you we will CONTINUE to push this area.

A valid and professional response, fair play to you mate

There are so many morons in this world, and most of them think they own dubstep, seemingly.
