What got you into dubstep?

[robsteppin]

Sub Dub Leeds, went to a drum n bass night and found irration steppas in the main room unbelievable bass!

[samiam]

For me it was musical progression, I first got into Hardcore around '90, then into Jungle 92/93, then Drum'n'Bass, then UK Garage, then into the darker side of Garage, El-b, Zinc, Zed Bias, J Sweet, Sticky then... BOOM!! Dubstep happened, I can proudly say I was there from the humble beginings.

[choc-ice]

yeh i would go for musical progression too. but the first time i properly experienced it was when my older brother took me to dmz 3rd birthday. it was weird how i instantly connected with the whole vibe, never experienced that with any other music before.

skream!

skream!

Skream as in the artist or Skream! as in the album/EP thing?

[RatRaceProducing]

Well i was into the uk garage and drum n bass/jungle scene anyway, few bits of dubstep was coming through this scene and also through the grime scence. Huge benga track was released on a UK garage CD and hammered on 1XTRA that i'd heard before and they informed me this was dubstep. so the search began.

I dont follow any particular genre but gotta admit dubstep has taken the front seat at present!

!Peace!

[joeki]

Amalgamation of Industrial acts such as Scorn. Grime like DJ Wonder. UK Garage sounds from El-B. But the breakthrough were the first couple of DMZ releases, mainly in 05.

I spent a lot of time trying to find the bassiest dance music possible, I was having a brief love affair with Electro House, then Nu Skool Breaks (which I still love) and then one day at the students union the DJ played a few dubstep tracks (remixy stuff like klaxons skream remix and in for the kill) and I thought "At last, found it!"

and it's been getting better and better every day since

Similar story. It had been a search to find the right sound.
