Isn't Skrillex from LA?
Wow looks like I was thinking a little to hard. He is, which is why I assume he's butt buddies with 12th Planet.

Also not sure how it is in the UK but I can only seem to find brosteppers here. Probably because of all these over the top raves that are basically a bro's dream.

It's hard to tell people I listen to dubstep without getting the "OMG NO WAY ME 2! I LOVE THE BAZZ WOBBELZ IN SWAGGA" response. But oh well, it makes it a little bit sweeter when I come across the rare dungeon head or someone similar. 8)

EDIT: For the record, I produce brostep but rarely listen to it (to avoid confusion if you listen to my sig and then read me bashing brosteppers :6: )

think he's made it bigtime coz he released a single on itunes via himself.
made his own merch to sell, but appears he's the only that wears it.
25 year old lad who gets extreme thrills over 12 year old screaming girls - bit weird.

edit - worst thing.


just actually properly read this thread - didn't realise that it kinda turned into famous people only... :?

My english teacher gave me a weird look when I mentioned that as the musical instrument I played. Like the wtf stare. I had to give her the 'wiki wiki' dj motion to confirm what i meant.

Morden - literally the most pointless place on the planet. Nothing but houses and corner shops.

The only thing to actually come from here is an indie band called Good Shoes who sum the whole place up in this song



Pretty crappy song but tells you lots about the place. Also that little stage in the park at the end of the video, they actually played a free gig there which was pretty cool...

That's how rubbish where i live is...

On the plus side, you never need to worry about falling asleep on the last tube home.
