so far the worst thing about these so-called 'clowny' tunes is the people that moan about them.
even the wobbliest track by The Others/Caspa/whoeva is still funky as fuck, most dnb wobblers are just 180bpm twatcore with absolutely zero soul. At 140 bpm theres alot of room to breathe and there always will be.......

is that THE Batfink???
if so - hello
and yeah wobble at 180 bpm really is a joke at times...however slow the same thing down to 145bpm and it works,which is what a lot of dubstep guys seem to be doing with their productions and getting huge acolade for.
But like you say, the tune flows better in the 140's than at 180something bpm's.
Anyway,I'm off to put on the Boxcutter album for the 154th time today.

"Built for boundaries" ... says it all.
Horses for courses.
Most of the big tunes on rotation, mortals such as I cant even get hold of so .... not sure I agree.

But hearing a certain bootleg of a certain jungle anthem getting a rewind at DMZ on Saturday didn't really make me jump with joy.
No worries, I'm not getting all elitist on you, this is enough for now.
what was this bootleg, just for my peace of mind?...

i wasn't there but i guess he means goldfingers terrorist remix, which i quite like actually, its not groundbreaking but its got a nice roll to it and is a nice reference point for the less jaded junglists in the crowd.
oh and imo it was people moaning about wobble and dividing the scene which damaged dnb, not the wobble itself
it doesnt pay to talk too much about wobble, as even the word wobble written out too many times devalues the sentence with its daftness, much like the word pudding.

tunes might be getting clowny but it seems there's also alot of overly moody dubstep that doesn't say anything...
at least the clowny ones are cheerful
and i dont think dubstep will ever shit the bed like dnb did

lol u people talk about dubstep too much.. but yeh, some dubstep is losing it's depth. It's gettin all in ur face and obvious, this is kinda good for rowdy dancefloors though. Personally i prefer a deeper perspective but horses for courses.
Peace

yeah, on a dubstep forum too!
whatever's next?
as a side note, the term 'clownstep' is one of the most ridiculous music terms ever created and it's usage should be banned.

haha innit, please llow we don't get that problem dnb got that made everyone ridicule it whereby it got subdivided into about 30 subgenres all with equally reidiculous names eg. "DARKJUMPUPJUNGLEBREAKCORESTAMPER"
but yes i myself happen to be one of those disullusioned jungle heads (albeit a very latecomer to jungle) who got into dubstep somehow or another, although it wasn't out of looking purposefully for something new, it just sorta happened

so tired of the "wobble killed drum and bass" story... seems more like a selfconscious, divided scene did more damage than a small substyle of said genre.... that and bad company
