So I was trying to fill in the "sounds like" section of the Pressing Issues myspace page and it got me thinking...

Now, I'm sure there are a number of threads here about how to describe dubstep but CEDE, Emcee Child and I were having a go today and came up with some gems...

CEDE: It just hurts... in the best way possible

Child: It sounds like your soul amplifed

Me: gut wrenching tears of joy

Collaboration:

child: a sonic painting of a sunset
ozeb: during an earthquake
child: after a night of eating chili
ozeb: lol
child: LOL



Now you have a go!

pure enthusiasm always works.

oh well, I thought it was funny.

Me: "Well, in the beginning there was garage and..."

Their eyes glaze over.

Me (spluttering): "Just... fucking... listen to it, OK?"

please don;'t say the word "convert" this isnt a cult

agreed. i don't defend this music, because if you don't get it the first time around, then you'll never get it.

When I took my mate to FWD he said
"Finally stoners have something to rave to!"

wow this thread didn't go in the direction I expected... I will never listen to CEDE again when he says "make a thread! It'll be fun!"

hahahahahahahaha

best shit ever!

If I read any of those cheesy one-liners you put forward it'd put me off even bothering to listen haha.

I agree that convert is not the best word for it. Its more like introduce or opening ones mind to dubstep.
When people ask me what dubstep is, i say, "its the classical music of our time".

There are certain types of people who would like dubstep.....
People who like reggae, ol skool jungle, jazz, "liquid" type D&B, anything melodic with soul basicly.

In January of this year, my m8 "Torrential" gave me the Rinse FM_-_Kode9_b2b_D1 mix from november of last year, thus introducing me to dubstep. I'll be honest, at first, i didnt get it. At that time, i was producing some ragga-jungle type ish, so it was kind of hard to switch the mental bpm's to compansate for the new bpm of 140-155.

I had kept the mix in my rotation of mixes on winamp and one day, it started playin while i was puffin some green. I just started groovin to it, feelin it and then Kode 9's: 9 Samurai came on....
My mouth hit the floor as i felt the energy of this music screaming threw my house. It was shaking the very foundation of this place and it left me in state. I felt my chi "inner strength" flowing with the basslines and i knew at that very moment, I had been bitten and infected with this virus called Dubstep.

I guess you just have to give someone a mix and tell them to keep it in their playlist. Who knows, they might contract the virus the same way i did.

I would also like to add that since i have been listening to dubstep, it has forever changed my life. When i used to be at work, I would listen to jungle all day and I was always workin very quickly but not to effeciently. My mind was stuck in the bpm range of 170-190+. Since i've been listening to dubstep in place of jungle at work, Ive gotten a promtion and have found that i can work much more efficently with my new mind frame of 140-155 bpms.

Massive respect to all those worldwide who have contracted and continue to manfacture the virus known as: DUBSTEP.

In what way? I would say the classical music of our time is probably classical music, which people do still make.

classical in the way its written, not all cramped and crazy. Take D1's choons for example......need i say more?

You're mixing "classical" with "modern" perhaps mate.

this is just the hardest damn question to answer everytime i meet up with another dub head i always ask him what dub step is and everyones answer is different

top me dubstep aint music its just a feeling.. that is brought about by differently good music...
