my issue with dungeon is that it sounds like what a lot of it is: dnb producers trying to make dubstep

the first dungeon and black box realeases were very good, although that this is an unpopular opinion atm is funny that when you look at old mixes in soundcloud of this people that blame dungeo, all of them had dungeon mixes

If anything skrillex is influenced by neuro D&B.

I like quite a bit of dungeon, I also like quite a bit of neuro, don't really care if the general consensus is that it's stale, I find those sounds appealing

+ yeah SP should make more tunes.
Fuck all rigs i've heard his tunes played on do them justice tho.
Hearing this one at FWD was a bit embarassing for Plastic People

For real, there was a lot of sick stuff. Looking through my discogs, got releases like:
Lurka - Tempted
Biome - Space
Benton - Skeptics/Thermo Stellar
Benton - Sinners/Necromancy
DJ Madd - Dub Marine
N-Type & Cyrus - Dark Frequency
DJ Madd - Blank Space EP
Commodo & Lurka - Airtight/Gassin
All black box/box clever I think.

Funny how bods that act like they don't care about or are above genre names are often the ones found discussing them...

Because people know what it is. Same with any genre. Pretty much all genre names are fucking ridiculous.

i guess but at the end of the day its just dubstep with more mid range and reverb than the old stuff, dont feel like it warrants a new term. seems like a lot of ppl just throw it around as a derogatory term for tunes theyre not feelin anyways

I've never understood the rally against genre names myself. They serve a quite useful purpose and the whole 'stagnating creativity' thing is beyond me tbh.

Yeah, it's defo being misused (Tunes I like = Not Dungeon. Tunes I don't like = Dungeon), but if I said "What sort of music does Artist XYZ make?" and you said "Dungeon", I'd have a good idea of what you meant. And it's not really an entire new genre, more just a sub-genre of dubstep. Hard to describe something just by saying dubstep, cos it could be like Hyph Mngo, Triple Six, Shackleton, etc.
