can someone point me in the direction of some of the darker stuff.

ive been pickin up some bits recently like the mr.v and witty boy eps which no doubt are quality and have put some some much needed fun back into my recent purchases but id like to hear some more of the darker stuff. artists or labels wud be gud.

chafe

check out 2nd II none and LAS and Dexplicit (not that dark but certainly not cartoony)

for older bits there's narrows, dubchild, morph... other bits on Heavy Artillery

got some 2nd II None, EJ, LAS from Rossi B a year or 2 ago..
that side, the darker side, morph, narrows, wouldn't class that as niche, its just dark garage is it not?
balls to pidgeon-holing.. not a fan of the new cheap bassline, but give me the stuff mentioned above all day long..

Get the two Dub Melitia EP's on heatseeker, Fya Water 1 + 2

Olderwise morph is definitely the way, check Sirus and Harry Lime too.

Sinden et al making some heavy music, no sub often but it aint all bout that, some of it is slower in comparison to modern dubstep but I dont think it matters so much, depends on the set. can always play the dubstep slower, definitely makes a change from the trend of dj's to play it at + 500000000000000.

Yeah, I'm quite enjoying that sort of stuff at the moment, like you say it's not really subby but really good fun and got loads of those what-the-fuck twists which get me going. A lot of them aren't house headz originally though are they so I suppose that adds a new dimension to it

yea sorry TNT should clarify wasn't saying that older darker 4x4 stuff was niche at all. but its fukin banging innit !!!! wish it was a whole genre rather than a handful of producers

this rule applies 2 evryone, u included, not just ppl u think r dissin on u

wish there was somehwere to buy the old narrows etc tunes from, all i have them on is mixes

Sinden and Herve' are makin some big big tunes at the mo, got an aquasky remix by them thats incredible. Saw that "Beeper" was signed to Domino the other day too.

b4 i go off investigate sum more of this stuf, is the stuf mentioned above ALL 4x4? all the niche i heard in the past was.

but if theres sum more imaginitive beats being dropped then point me in the right direction, or otherwise save me the bother of searching; cant stand anything made 4x4 since about 1993

Picked up Dreams with Morph remix on the back for a fiver on discogs, not too bad imo.

This guy is from Sheffield and it says in his 'about me' section that he produces under the name of heavymen amongst others.

really liked those

the cartoony stuff puts me off but i didnt realise there was more to it, the soulful & dirty bits are really good
