I fucking hate those people... like 2 of them ever know whats up... I just ignore everything they say and download their mixes...

I like dubstep because it doesn't all sound the same to me... I can't just be like "oh, this is a noisia bassline"

and know exactly who produced it... I have to actually be like "whoa shit, this is siiiiiiiiiiiick!"

"who is this?"

THAT is why I like it. Producers are experimenting with frequencies that are making my body feel the music--thats what moves me.

DOA has become polluted by idiots! I spend far too much time trawling through the shit trying to find something worthwhile to actually read. Download the odd mix but that's about it (been a member for about 3 years and my post count hasn't cracked 30, just don't feel it's worth saying anything to a high proportion of haters, you will never win)

Sorry this is turning into a proper rant!

Been into dnb for about 10 years and really struggling to find stuff I like these days (soul:r, signature, d-bridge etc. anything that isn't noise are the exceptions)

Loving the purity of dubstep and the dedication to serious bass without filling tracks with noise.

Nice to start afresh on a forum that isn't dedicated to hating anything and everything.

Peace

I stay as far away from doa and drum n' bass arena as possible. I have the same arguments with a plethera of down syndrome Dn'B elitists in dallas at least once a week.

Some people think that after listening to one mix they know everything about dubstep.

Did you get the comment about " glorified two step " ?

Good lord.

I signed up on dubstepforum.com today, and I frequent DOA.

Not on some "I know what dubstep is" shit... I'm quick to say I'm new to this shit, and have only heard a handful of tunes/mixes... but I'm liking what I hear so far.

Glad to see a knowledgeable forum for the sound...

Narrow minded DnB heads are the worst

see, thats the beauty of doa - most of the posters are just, well, haters of anything older than 1999.
ive been a member since the site started and trust me, it used to be soo much better than it is now.
heres my break down of what doa it is now -

some silly website for a bunch of single guys trying to figure out why they cant get laid and why no girls like drum and bass.
standard really, it used to be a DnB forum.

i LOVE dubstep. ive bought more dubstep in the past 3 months than i have bought dnb in the last year. thats sad... i have a sick collection of dnb and used to spend 50+ a week easy when i was djing.

DOA used to be the shit. I was always on it, and their was some great people. Well one day their was a sticky thread about The Breezeblock Dub War, downloaded the set and never went on DOA again. LOL.

I had a hatcha mix from 2002 and some other stuff, but never knew what it was called, I thought it was just 2step/grime, but the breezeblock session did it for me.

DOA has lost some heads to dubstep belive. Im using a different name now, but I see people on here that were on DOA

our first DOA haterz thread...

...this must be some sort of milestone

pete_bubonic · Post by **pete_bubonic** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 10:06 am

People only ever cuss down DOA because they either got shot down themselves or can't get into it. DOA is still the sole best resource for Drum and Bass on the net. Whether you like DnB or not, the sheer number of heads providing quality information, sorting out parties, doing mixes and productions is staggering.

The Grid is the very best resource for dance music production on the net and is very open to Dubstep. People like Luke Envoy and Adam Elemental came out of DOA, Envoy's beat 'Gamma' was found out about in the Dubstep thread on the Grid!

Yes there are an amount of dickheads on DOA and yes they talk more shit because they aren't gonna get rocked in the face from behind a computer screen. But I have met and partied with more absolutely fucking sound people off DOA than anywhere else.

This thread looks just like the one DOA, hating without embracing.

intoccabile · Post by **intoccabile** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 10:54 am

A lot of DNB heads are on the defensive right now, because they feel that the supremacy of the dnb sound, of the sound they have been into for YEARS, of the sound they thought was superior to everything else, is under attack.

So when me or some other dudes on DOA start a thread about grime or dubstep, it's an occasion for people who know next to nothing about grime or dubstep to murk those genres by saying things such as " it's only glorified two-step ", " it's badly produced, soul less music " and such rubbish. Boyment galore. But to me, their words are meaningless, because like you say Bubonic, it seems they are hating without embracing. Very few people on DOA are in the know I find. A lot of people have a weird conception of what grime or dubstep is.

The Grid is an amazing production ressource.

But looking for a good post on the board is like being in a record shop and looking for a revolutionnary dnb track.

WHEN IT COMES TO DRUM AND BASS DOA IS FASTER THAN ANY SEARCH ENGINE ON THE WEB. YOU WANT TO FIND SOMETHING JUST POS UP AND YOU WILL GET TEN REPLYS IN 30 SECONDS.

THERE IS A LOT OF SHIT ON THERE BUT ITS GREAT FOR INFOMATION AND BRAKING SOME OF YOUR OWN STUFF.

auralassassin · Post by **auralassassin** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 1:09 pm

I dunno... I've been listening to Jungle since I was a little boy... not many Americans can say that, but I honestly can. I don't like any of the newer stuff. I like the sparse, spaced out beats from the older Metalheadz... etc..

but I have go to say, I have ALWAYS loved minimal techno, downtempo, idm, triphop, deep house, jazz, nu jazz, acid house...

because I believe in getting the point across with as little effort as possible. That's why I chose the moniker "Aural Assassin" because I believe that you can destroy a crowd with minimal effort--like a ninja.

I write poetry, I don't get all descriptive. I get to the point, I make you think in the brief time from A to B... anyone can drop a bomb and blow up a city... it takes a motherfuckin ninja to sneak into the city and cause an uprising.

THAT is why I like minimal styles of music. No point in being loud and abrasive... with dubstep it is almost entirely bass and barely audible sounds... so the production values are VERY high--quite simply, if the track isn't BANGIN, it's shit. You have to get all the goodness out of a few sparse sounds...

Dubstep is to Music as Haiku is to Poetry.

Not everyone understands it, not everyone can write it well... but it's not FOR everyone--only those who have the proper brain chemistry. It's an acquired taste--but once it hits you... WOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEE it hits you like a ton of bricks!

Yeah this is definate fact, but instead of people bitching about it on here, why not go over there and promote some knowledge. I try as much as I can and people are receptive. I did a mix promoting dubstep and grim and the definitions and it clocked 15 gigs of bandwidth in one month. You're simply not going to get that exposure on any other website in the world.

The Grid is an amazing production ressource.

The grid has not only produced some amazing producers, but is without a doubt the best resource for first/second hand knowledge and experience in production and working with synths/samplers and software.

Perhaps there are many people who feel thier passion, thier music threatened by dubstep, maybe that's why you get the negative response. But just look at Martin Blackdown's repsonses to Tech Itch and other DnB heads producing Dubstep. It's exactly the same fear response, that something new and different from what you're used is going fuck everything up. It's understandable, seeing something you have nutured from concept, taken over and influenced by people not of the same thinking as you. But everything will carry on moving forward, whether we all like it or not.
