Dubstepforum.com

Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm looking for some new electronic music to listen to! For the most part, I listen to progressive metal / djent such as Meshuggah, Katatonia, TesseracT, Periphery, Opeth, etc., you get the idea... What I like to hear in music is a lot of different layers and textures. With that said, I'm also a big fan of melody and polyrhythms. I was wondering if there is a type of dubstep / electronic that utilizes these elements in music (there HAS to be, right?!). A couple electronic artists I've heard (that are not dubstep at all) that I do enjoy are Solar Fields and Tycho.

On a semi-related note, the reason I came here to begin with is because I was at a local indie rock show the other night and in between the bands' sets, they played a dubstep song that I actually liked. It was structured like a typical indie rock song and had indie rock style female vocals. I wish I knew more, like a line of lyrics or something, but alas, I was too stoned to pay attention that well (didn't want to be there at all, was there to support a friend's band). If it helps at all, some "indie rock" bands I enjoy are Metric, Modest Mouse, The Naked and Famous, Cat Power, Kimbra, Regina Spektor, etc.

Anyhow, thanks in advance for your help - can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Post a song showing what you mean by dubstep, and I might be able to help.

To be honest, I'm totally new to dubstep, but I know for a fact that there's some out there that I would enjoy. I really dig the heaviness / brutality of the 'drops'.

sigh

try UKF.

OR, go through the "WHAT IS DUBSTEP? A guide to start with is here." thread thats sticky'd at the top of general.

So I Google'd UKF Forums and didn't find anything. I did read on a forum called IDM that UKF was closed due to spam/otherwise. Am I just not looking in the right place? Also, can I get a brief explanation as to how I'm in the wrong place for electronic music suggestions? Do you guys not listen to electronic?

Erm, we do. That would be why it's called dubstepforum. Just not at all the kind of "dubstep" that you're looking for.

well that was hard lol

Could you possibly be of any help at all, please? What exactly am I looking for? I just want to hear some new jams man.

Look, I'm not into the kind of shit you're looking for. Neither are the majority of people on this board. Sorry.

Don't see why you need a forum. I'm sure there's plenty of the music you're looking for on there.

Well, thanks for the website, I guess.

Hey way to be appreciative. I said you weren't going to find much help around here. Nev didn't have to find the site for you. I think you need to learn how to use google properly.

good luck finding pretty much ANY dance music using weird time signatures since it's mostly very DJ-oriented type of music and made for people to dance to

some "wonky" stuff is the closest u get but i don't think it's very much up your alley. some juke / footwork drum programming is also pretty "all over the place"
