To be honest, if you keep making tunes as good as Hardfood and Mirage you can call them what you damn well please!


I have an idea of the sound I want to create in my head, but its more of a picture than a word, otherwise I'd probably try and describe it too.

badman! u see music aswell? hold tight all the people with the gift sometimes i don't make tunes by sound i make it by colour or the picture in my head u might think i'm crazy but its true

I don't think that's crazy at all. Keep doing what you're doin and it'll keep on movin in the right direction.

You are not alone.

Shards from page 7 wrote:I'm more interested in Quest's chromaesthesia, tbh. I know quite a few synaesthesiacs (myself for starters ) & it's always interesting to see how their unique perspective usually draws them into sonic fields of some description. There's also similarities in how they express themselves in writing, too.

For the record, I'm instinctively against the division of Dubstep at this point, I think it's far too early for that & I like the diversity of sound it currently enjoys. I'm also for more complex percussion & musicality, and as someone pointed out earlier, DJs develop their own styles- the style they play might be described, but another might play a lot of same tracks but with a different feel.

Nice and heated discussion here!

I was just reminded that i recently described a track as Mike Oldfieldstep on a danish forum. Since i actually like some choice cuts from Mike, it was meant positively. (...and yes, it was a Quest track....)

I hate white people.

2nd ... but I can feel what's said about the overusage or the same usage about wobbles (lfo basslines) in the starter post ... I think it's always bad to have certain fomulas to make tracks ... no boundaries no rules ...

my 2 cents

it's all gabber tho innit


back 2 tha roots

It's interesting to read this thread, because eventhough enough people are talking complete bollocks, some people have actually made crystal clear sense. Heny G is particular, the man has it bang on, why the fuck are you all kicking off about a name of a sub genre? or is it the fact that someone is pushing a subgenre (which there will always always be)? or is it the fact that someone is likening the evolution and progression of dnb (which it mirrors very closely, whether certain, more publically acknowledged heads on here agree or not)?

I find it quite funny that certain heads here are saying it's all dubstep when I can remember the exact posts and blog articles saying how seperate breakstep is from dubstep, that is has nothing to do with it. Double standards are okay I guess just so long as no-one says out loud how similar a LOT of aspects of dubstep (tunes and history) is to dnb.

IMO it's not names that make for segregated subgenre ghettos, it's DJs who only play certain sorts of tunes, clubs who only book DJs who only play certain sorts of tune, punters who only go to clubs who only book DJs who only play certain sorts of tune. AFAIK, junglists didn't think "hey, some journalists / scenewatchers have defined jump up as a subgenre, we'd better start a night called AWOL to play it..."

I sort of do. I can't actually 'see' it, but the way i imagine how I want a track to sound somehow always seems to associated with certain colours, and mixes of colours.

...

It's seperatism that ruined so many genres in the past, and actively caused the decline of the music. It's all connected man..

That's one way of looking at it, the other way is that It's not seperatism that's ruined music in the past mate, it's the music.

There is nothing intelligent about a chord progression. End of story.

What does that mean anyway? Please, you folks talk too much.
'Don't you dare call it Intelligent', i can call it whatever I want mate.

Everyone's talking about how 'they don't have a problem with sub-genres...but...' or 'I don't think this should be that blah' Do you think the Music REALLY gives a shit what you think? er.... no..... exactly..

Let's lock off this waste topic.

UFO over easy wrote:I'm not even talking about 'intelligent' here, a name that's just blatently offensive and innaccurate.

Ignoring the offensiveness and inaccuracy, to me it just makes the music sound self important and overly serious and basically boring (which I'm assuming isn't true of Quest's stuff). I mean, why not go the whole hog and call it 'librarystep' or 'nerdstep' or 'chartered accountantstep' or something?
