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

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.

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

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!

Mate burned me off a Drum and bass Cd in 2008 & left me a cheeky Dubstep tune as the last tune. Rusko - Mr chips
So rusko got me into dubstep. Nevermind eh?

Skream - 0800 dub. Probably the first dubstep tune i'd heard.

Listened to Tempa's Roots of Dubstep compilation a lot back then aswell

Skream - Bahl Fwd
Loefah - System
DMZ - Molten

Need i say more...well that and the 'I <3 Dubstep' album

Generation Dubstep compilation definitely did it for me.

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.

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

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