It's all dubstep. I hate the way everyone puts a label on a track if it's not the norm.
From memory, dubstep is an experimental type of music. Shouldn't that entail the artists to experiment with what ever they want?
Whether it's hard, deep, party... It's all dubstep. Stop being haters.

I call bulshit on that one bruv, the ones who held this music up and still do are the people that produce and spin it and the behind the scenes people that make shit happen, as for roots and culture you sound ridiculous because the roots and culture of this music were based on being open minded and pushing something forward.
Actually we are both wrong, everything goes hand in hand, both sets of people hold up everything. But every music has a foundation and please just because some it's new and different does'nt mean it's pushing things forward.

Like I said change for the sake of change does'nt always equal a good thing. And it has nothing to do with being not open minded. I get so tired of that nonsense cop out.

hmm I play a serious diverse selection whenever i play. i can also say im one of the only ones here in the scene pushing such a diverse sound and keeping a culture.

i know there are lots of people who play chainsaw or whatever you guys call it, but a huge way to keep people interested in a set is to keep each track different. i just played a fashion show on friday, great soundsystem. started with burial's fostercare, then went into kryptic mind's dissolved, then gemmy's rainbow road, then nero's fresh bc remix of hypercaine.... you get the idea. people were having it so bad! it becomes so entirely boring when its just tear out after tear out, and thats for any genre. trust, people will get tired of it, just keep it fresh is all i say. if you are seeing a trend like dnb's path went, keep it up to play out more diverse music.

i want to list the MASSIVE amounts of unbelievable tunes that were released this year... but i wont because i think if you all sit and think about it you will look in your crate and see the gems and the incredible variety this genre has given us this year. if you think its becoming overwhelmingly tear out, and the brolitariat is taking over, then i dunno... stop supporting the nights.

I know plenty of "bros". and they like my mixes, it doesn't bother me. Most of them party really hard and appreciate a phat baseline. Your argument is valid, although, I haven't ever heard a track that is "the hardest". It would literally have to make infants faces swell up and explode like a vigorously shaken up can of blood soda...

Does anyone else see the irony of the fact that the biggest moaners on this board about this subject are people that have very little involvment in the music other than standing on the sidelines. It seems that the biggest blasts of negativity comes from the hobbyists.


Is it that some people feel threatened by the new guard, it's only evolution of sound after all, change is good no? Or is that only relevant in politics now?
These people who you call "moaners" are the ones who held up this music, are the ones who supported this music when it was'nt fashionable. Brought tunes, went to the nights when it was'nt the cool thing to do. And these people are a little upset and frustrated that the music they love is being stripped of it's roots and culture and being taken into a direction that's the opposite of what this music was all about in the first place.

Change for the sake of change isn't always a good thing.
very well put

its that simple
but it's regressing and becoming less expermimental...it's going down as seckle said the doomed paths that d&b already went down

the tracks being criticized have become the norm...so the statement doesnt work

ATTENTION PLEASE! all we people that agree with the original first post are saying is that we're tired of hearing sets with the same kinds of tunes over and over. you dont watch a horror movie and expect to see a movie with scene after scene displaying guts and gore; a good horror movie builds up the suspense and tension, has a resolve, and a climax. not some cut/slash/kill scene after scene - this would only start to degrade the impact of the intensity. likewise, you don't eat the same foods every single day. you would get so sick of that food after a week or two that you wouldn't want it for months or maybe even years.

this is no different than what the argument here is. all were asking for is djs to spend a little more time in learning how to craft and perform sets with dynamics, putting some thought into it, and creating a varied set. selecting banger after banger is an easy way out, as you are guaranteed a decent reaction right off the bat. but what you people aren't understanding is that halfway into the set... or after seeing sets like this night after night, the novelty wears thin and the tunes that used to be "bangers" are now just decent. then decent soon becomes boring and dull because of such prolonged exposure to this stagnant movement i like to call brostep.

also i believe many of the people getting so defensive in this thread are probably huge richie august fans, so we shouldn't really care what they have to say anyways.

What does "meditate on bassweight" mean anyway? Everyone here says it but I have yet to see someone sitting on top of the subs in a lotus position Om'ing it up. Is that because of the midrange wobbles?
