What the fuk is going on with jumpup?

[Brutox]

this new style that is seemingly pissing everyone off (including myself) and is what the newer generation of dubstep listeners want, they don't care for the music or the deep heavy vibes that this genre was built around, they care for the "filth" and how wasted they can get...

Bang on, dubstep was made for moody bud heads..... but the ravey snort heads are taking over!

Stop being fucking snobs.

I like atmosphere at clubs, up here it's the big wobblers that get the crowd going.

here lies the rub. some people think atmosphere = jager bombz + chestbumping

some people think atmosphere = gabba

some people think atmosphere = a nice cup of tea + a good book

some people like cavernous bass + meditation

Doesn't really matter. You can't cater for everyones' tastes all the time.

I find most of the 'wobble/comedy/brostep/chainsaw' etc tunes get tired very easily as happened in dnb at the beginning of last decade. they're a bit like hollywood action films + energy drinks in the sense they get overkilled because they try to whack so much energy in from the outset, and therefore leave themselves nowhere to go. So you have to keep cranking the 'wobble/comedy/brostep/chainsaw' up and up and up til it just gets tired and has to go for a lie down. a bit like a small child.

anyway, i digress. enjoy your thing, whatever that might be.

I think what's really going on with "jumpup" is

a) people moaning (like joe muggs said)

b) lack of melody. a lot of people discount melody as an important factor of music. for me a tune can wibble and wobble and growl as much as it wants as long as it's melodic, the production's good and it packs a tonne of bassweight. It's this lack of melody which I think people don't count in the mid range sub-genre.

I mean take a look at joker's tunes, they don't wobble, but the one thing they do have is these unbelievably catchy hooks and beautful harmonies that weave in and out of each other.
And to take a tune by a mid-low range artist- look at DZ, another artist that know how to make melodies and nice little hooks.

Melody is key for me and I think a lor of people that listen to any sort of music!

>Melody is key

Wurd. Too many one note wobble tunes out there.

Not *toooo* much emphasis should be put on melody, otherwise we go into trance territory! Groove is just important. There's great use of melody in loads of new stuff atm, although not necessarily in the tearout sphere - perhaps because its not what that's about..

Yeah my point exactly all those tunes are wank and have heard them a hundred times before so clogging up this thread with all those youtube videos was a bit pointless

[truefiktion]

Oh and if you like Appleblim (which you must remember I do actually like) then you should check out Clubroot, just another level really.

[fassyman]

you cant just say "all those tunes are wank" and expect that to prove your point. cos there not

plus why listen to a track 100 times if its wank, now thats a bit pointless

dismissing Circling as wank invalidates any statement you make hereafter

Circling is one of the best pieces of production to come out of dubstep imo
