Ok, I know this is a tricky one to answer because we all like many types of music...

However I can say that I started off with Hip-hop, moved to grime then moved to dubstep, so you could say I am a hip-hop dubstepper...

I also know there are people comin into dubstep from D&B, techno, dance etc etc, but what was/is your main musical background as a producer (or music lover) before you became involved with dubstep?

Bit of everything? I mean I was bought up in a pretty weird time..

I was quater-jungle quater-britpop quater-80/90s pop quater-hiphop.


My taste in music has always been quite broad...I take my main inspration from my tunes from Triphop and Rock but everything kinda melds together and what happens in my beats is that I get quite a contrast in everything I do.

I'd say my "main" music has been Brit-Rock/pop/indie though, its always been there in my life and it still is to this day.

Something like that, though i never left any of those genres.

And i like to experiment.

For me its dnb. Been listening to it for years and wanted to broaden my horizons a bit so started listening to dubstep and more experimental tunes. I make more dubstep tunes now than dnb which is weird for me.

Good idea for a poll, but you should include an option for classical music or Jazz. I learnt about the more traditional music styles before I ever got into rock or electronic music.

i was bought up on classic rock, pop, dance

Where the fuck is the breakcore option mate?

how old where u went u started listening to that?

i didnt no about till i was at least 15-16

I only started making music when 15 because I remembered in school when we had to make music on a program called Magix Music Maker and present our songs to the class. Me and my mates would add as many layers as we could including lots of these terribly corny vocal loops.

What we would end up with is what I could only describe as trip-hop acid jazz spliced with heavy metal. So for the first 2 years I had no clue about making music and would drag as many loops in as I could to make songs for shits and giggles.

But after that it was Drum & Bass for half a year then onto Dubstep.

where the fuck is reggae? where the fuck is dub? shit poll mate

oh and aren't techno, grime, hip hop, trance and drum and bass all 'dance'?

where the fuck is disco

was heavily interested in music at a young age, 8-9 i always aksed for tapes cds for x-mas and stuffm a mix of popular stuff but gravitated twords old school hip hop and rnb. then into my early teens and teens i was 100% all about the hip hop and rap, lots of eastcoast, lots and lots of westcoast, soem early southern like rap-alot and ugk and then i was into the backpacker sound for a bit. Then went raving and fell in love with dnb (2000) about 2002 i just stopped listening to anything else and got really into dnb exclusivly then 2 years ago i started to realize that was dumb and opened my ears to hip hop and and other electronic music then it hit me dubstep was pretty much the perfect combo of the types of sounds and rtyhms that i had always been into and the sounds i had been into for the last 6 years or so.

now im about 90% dubstep,making listening mixing etc. and about 10% dnb and hardly ever ever listen to hip hop even though i still consider it my third favorite music.

'Got any jungle in guy?'

Before that, mainly old skool hip-hop and rock tbf.

late 60's and early 70's music. Rock, disco, soul, funk, etc.

im going to make you a song.

I started mixing old skool Techno 91/92 and early rave from Belguim/Holland.

Since then I went on to get into Hardcore TEchno and Doom.

Yeah with lots of hip-hop, dance, d&b, grime & shit as the intro, then the voice comes "where the fuck is the breakcore?!" and you unleash your most devastating breaks.

hardstyle, hardcore techno/gabber, d&b, trance, pretty much anything..

but hardstyle was my first taste of electronic music

ok how do you edit the poll to add classical, jazz, breakcore, jungle and indie
