no need to apologise mate, whatever floats ur boat! this is an open forum, and if some of the above got you into dubstep than thats nothing but a good thing, so enjoy browsing some other suggestions people have put here and good luck!!

its lucky you put the disclaimer cos some people get RINSED by the purists/ elitists on here for liking the 'wrong type' of dubstep..

a top 5 is ridiculously hard obviously...

my stab at it would be-

Distance - Ill Kontent (Forthcoming Tectonic)
Truth - Juno (Aquatic Lab)
Kryptic Minds - Can't Sleep (Forthcoming Osiris)
Distance - Beyond (Chestplate)
Vaccine - Cascade Failure (Nonplus)

Awesome tune. Can't believe I forgot that one. Also The Way You Make Me Feel vocal mix was stunning as well.

now normally this would also go into my list any day, but can we really still call it dubstep?

^^ good question, you can ask that about a lot of stuff that is knocking around at the moment. I think probably still yes, but probably more fits into the whole future garage/ uk bass music monikers better...

a lot of people have called for Night Slugs to be label of the year, who whilst producing excellent records, isnt exactly dubstep as I know it. But I guess that is just the sound evolving, spreading its wings into more house/ techno/ UK funky influence...which is why a more generalised term as above might be more appropriate...
interesting point though really, as i am trying to get it al sorted out in my head too.

HDBCD006 : Darkstar - Under One Roof
HFT012 : George Fitzgerald - Weakness
IME022 : Kontext - Sattva
LODUBS10001 : Clubroot - Orbiting
LODUBS10002 : Clubroot - Solar Flare
medi31 : Benny Ill & J. King - Kosmic 78
NL006 : Stingray 313 - Sphere of influence
NS008 : Girl Unit - WUT
RED003 : DJG - Avoid The Noid (headhunter rmx)

SWAMP006 : Ramadanman - Fall Short

i've always been in favour of a very broad definition of dubstep, and i love the way that some labels and artists are really pushing the sound in new directions in 2010 (eg. Hessle Audio). but as for the above mentioned tune, despite the fact that it's one of the best tracks ive heard in ages in all possible genres, i'd say its still just that little too for from the dubstep 'template' (if such a thing even exists any more) for any dubstep to be recognisable in it any more. but then again, thats just my 2 cents.

I thought that those were all dubstep songs? Why isn't this considered dubstep? If it's not then what is it lol? I'm trying to educate myself, please enlighten me. How do I distinguish your definition of dubstep from what I posted? I honest to God thought what I posted is dubstep...I've only been listening to this for a few months, help me to evolve from a dubstep novice to someone who knows what they are talking about...
