I love me some dubstep. Right up there with DnB as my favorite genre of techno electronic music.

Any other dubstep lovers out there?

please tell me you're joking, or just an electronic music n00b.

techno is a distinct genre of music...Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Surgeon, Hawtin, Cari Lekebusch, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Kenny Larkin, Carl Craig, Frankie Bones, Matthew Dear, Ricardo Villalobos, Heiko Laux, Sutekh, Stewart Walker, Joey Beltram, Daniel Bell...(names for days)..

that's techno.

d'n'b is d'n'b, dubstep is dubstep.

starting to warm up to some, and considering making some music. i made a bassline in Cubase 5 using Albino.
I just hate ragga mc's and wailing divas (wtf's up with that?). f all that

good shit

here's how they hold it down for the lone star, five1deuce

I always thought "techno" was just the first unecassary sub-genre division of house music. Whereas house used more live samples, pianos, vocals, sax etc, techno was the same but all made up from synth components. Either way it's all house to me.

Dubstep has something about it that switches me on. It grooves very nicely and has some wicked textures but there's a bit too much of a grime feeling in it for myself. I'm sure there's folk out there making good stuff but most of what I hear sounds angry.

Same with DnB, I prefer the more interesting tuneful stuff, which last I heard was now called "liquid funk".... damn subgenres!

WRONG

Err.. sorry what am I looking at? It's about a documentary right?

I understand there's a whole techno scene out there where they have music labelled techno in all styles, minimal/funky/hard techno and so forth. It's just I've always used the literal sense of how the term was first coined as shortened version of the word "technology". Under that kind of understanding all electronic music could be called techno, though I do associate the term with 4 on the floor beats aka house music

It all started with Jack.

yeah

dubstep isn't in there, since it basically became relevant yesterday.

Oh, I get you now.

Psy trance isn't there either... them's my beats and a good 20 years old... still not relevant? Well we'll try harder.

trance isn't in there?
should be

I meant dubstep, which initially emerged on the scene in '01.

btw... Jack's house was on the other side of the lake from Detroit Tech City. the warehouse on the pier (detroit) was throwing parties at the same time house was pumping from Chicago clubs, perhaps even earlier.

where as house pays homage to disco, techno got its 4/4 inspiration from Kraftwerk's Computer World and Trans Europe Express.

... then new york came up with the paradiso garage. People don't talk about that one much though

Around here (detroit/windsor) we refer to all electronic music as techno, it may be wrong, but its pretty much just commonly accpeted slang now adays. Guess I should have said electronica or something. My bad.

And I love the grime.

I'm not really big into anything that sounds like it was inspired by cough syrup. I do love hip-hop though; Mos Def, Flobots, Wu-Tang, etc.

Yeah... dillinja wrote a tune about you:

What's good dubstep then?

I listen to Dubstep.fm every now and then, but it's very rare that I hear something that's "the greatest music in the world" as it's starting to be known by younger folk in the uk. Sounds like DnB + Ketamine

Well, I like grime a lot more than most people so my definition of good dubstep is my own view.

DatsiK, is well, sick. If he's too filthy for you, check out Tes La Rok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFoi1TfdW4Y&feature=related) , and maybe some Benga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMR5K2QWfJk) or Skream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XkHzFIWqEc). Tes La Rok is much more refined then most of the dubstep I listen to. The way I normally find good dubstep (because very few people I know have ever heard of it) is to go on last.fm or pandora.com and put DatsiK in, you should get some good leads to find more. Those are just the most popular artists from my understanding of it.

BTW, <3 Dillinja

i like the grime too, but i'm more into wonk/street bass, as it evolved from dilla-esque hip-hop and idm.
Flylo, Nosaj thing, dabrye, etc.

that's "screw music", chopped'n'screwed hip-hop; pitched down with delay on the downbeat.
(some tx dubstep now sounds like that).

Dubsteps boring! Dont like it at all YAWN! Its like slow dnb never really going anywhere, ive heard some dnb djs mix one or two tracks in a set and its ok but a whole set of that would have me snoring. Dnb and banging techno,140-150bpm is where its at!

i can tolerate about 5 mins of dubstep
but wailing divas just really piss me off,
and raggas should seriously stfu.


"'ere me now, come bleh blub whekjlf sihgfkoh ...WEYYOOH!"
*bang*

*ragga drops*
