View Full Version : Am I getting old, or is 'dubstep' just dire?
For some reason we have a USB stick with some sort of dubstep album on it and aside from the chase and status tracks (which just seem like a garage/anthem hybrid), its all just the same noise over and over again.... how the fook is the same overdriven synth classed as 'music'
Or have I just got old? :(
It sounds like it's been created on a Casio keyboard from the '80's lol
I suppose if your a teenager it's probably the dogs, personally I think it's crap lol
On the whole I agree with you, dubstep is pretty crap. I like a lot of the crossover DnB stuff though.
I also despise garage lol. I hated it when all of that DJ Luck and MC Neat, Pied Piper crap was out!
Some awesome dubstep imo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S35THmZD_E www.youtube.com/watch?v=85wgzj8hZyg www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cxgao2rYZw
Those are three of my favourites, and are generally an exception to the rule. lol

Not just you, I'm an avid listener of Liquid Drum and Bass. Dubstep is literally the same old shoite wobble bass rythm over various vocal track samples.
The fanbase then determine how good a song is by how "filthy" it is, by "filthy" see; most shrill/noisy/painful synth+bass noise the wobble bass track is.
Liquid DnD blows me away! Always been a fan of the chill out stuff, right from back when I would happily stick Robert Miles - Children album on, lights down and just blaze one out lulz. :)
I'm far more into that than the dirty/filthy/heavy stuff on the whole.
Just knocked up a sweet MP3 compilation about an hour ago. Would have been nice to have for yesterday evenings road trip, but oh well! lol
Have to say I lurve it! :d Its the only reason I wanna stick a ma-hoo-sive sub in the car.
Did anyone catch that dub step orchestra thing on radio 1 last night. tres good
But maybe im just a chav. lol

i actually tried to listen to that thing on radio 1 last night all about the origins of dubstep etc..... and it was going fine till some tw@t started playing the noise a fax makes when it rings your phone by mistake..... so i gave local radio a chance instead.......

Back in 00 to say 02 all I would rock dance wise was the early-mid 90's stuff as i hated what was about. The jungle evolved into DnB and 'dance' got *AWESOME

All I really listen to is stuff from the 90's, from dance to rock music, although there is some 60's-80's rock on my playlist too, but the majority of it is 90's dance.
I will be honest, I do like Nero-Guilt, mainly for the video but the song is quite good.
now i know modern culture is fooked.... bring back slade on top of the pops....

I wonder if I still have the Minidiscs I made with the 90's stuff on 'Real Dance Music 1-8' lol
Jeez all of those tracks are painful on the ears
It's just noise, how the fook does anyone dance to that ? :eek: :tard:
Saying that people will dance to anything with a gut full of MDNA

Doesn't bother me what people choose to listen to...its when they try 'educating' me about 'music'
Ok so not all my music is to everyones taste, but its seriously talented MUSICIANS playing instruments and creating a whole song from start to finish...and whats all this crap about a song 'being old' - proper music is timeless :mad:
PS I listen to most sorts of rock and metal
i might be getting a ministry of sound cd..... there is actually one of indie classics...
ohhh ahhh just a little bit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_gZ3eCFnaE&feature=related)
No....you're getting old lol
I was listening to Pete Tong and Judge jules on the Iplayer earlier and the kind of stuff they play hasnt really changed in 15 years, its excellent dance/trance/big room chooons.
I too tried to listen to the symphony thing last night and I just didnt get it.... yes the orchestra did well playing the tangable sounding parts of the tracks but the other stuff that I can only assume was stolen from Space Invaders just made it wrong.
The program after about the amen break was much better imo!
Or have I just got old? :(
Yes you have got OLD!
DUBSTEP IS FUKKIN BOLLOX!!!!

Crickets make a better noise
I quite like some of it...
An old school friend of mine Terry Lennard (DJ Hatcha for those in the know) had his own Garage/Drum & Bass Vinyl shop (Big Apple Records) in Croydon years ago and when the Garage scene started to die off, he got into making his own beats and Dubstep was created from a mix of Drum & Bass & Garage. His also just done a album compilation - 100% Pure Dubstep.
He now DJ's every tuesday night/wednesday morning Live on Kiss FM at 1am for an hour. Anyone who's into Dubstep, have a listen tonight...

I prefer my liquid a little more lively: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkQVrjQVdsU
And as far as dubstep goes, it's not to be confused with brostep imo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEuFTBG0Rbg)
To which I say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mwL6R-Z1e4 /end thread :)
not a fan of dubstep but I do like my bass heavy music...

I'd love to know how they manage to pinpoint an evolution in musical genre to a single town in a single country.
Seems the yanks and europe dont 'have' dubstep yet.... so should atleast be something the eeediots of the Uk came up with while cocking about with Reason lol.
I can make dubstep noises with some badly setup stuff in that
I can make dubstep noises with some trapped wind and a tambourine
:thumb:
As for brostep, what the ****? lol brostep, makes me laugh every time
I still dont get how its a mix of garage and drum n bass.
Garage was good,some drum n bass is ok for 10mins then it gets boring,dubstep is just garbage.
Honestly,i can only say i dont like a single dubstep track ive heard yet,and i like most types of music.

it is a bit interesting this has been brought up; as ive spent what must be a year or two unable to decide if i like dubstep or not - i do like some tracks; have downloaded say 5 or 6 dubstep tracks during those 18 or so months.. not many really is it.. I think theyre just the more 'pop-ish' dubstep rather than the dark repeatative stuff..
One does have to be in the right mood for them though; i went to a 'dubstep' themed night at our local nightclub few months back n kinda hated it..
Does also have to be said, decent amps, speakers, subs and recorded quality is a must.

The yanks are the reason it's all deep and wobbly tear your face off stuff now (See "Rusko's thoughts on brostep") and it's huge in Canada.
Actually its East Yorkshire now............
which is why i haven't done it......:roll: :roll:
i agree with the dub-step..isnt my taste either altho do play an odd track here and there due to being a dj.
being an east london boy,garage and jungle was,and still is my main music aswell as d'n'b.
when i do club nights/partys i still get asked for all the old skool club classics or old skool garage tracks..
everyone has different taste,born in different places,different era's..
musics there to enjoy..and i make the most of it

But to answer your initial question Stuart, yes, you are getting old. In fact, you were old when I first met you all those years ago :p

Commercial dance music follows the substances used on the "club scene"
Proper old skool dance music as we know it (90's) as an example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlHcJYFf7Pk) followed a strict pattern of uplifting vocals the occasional piano riff and a nice solid bouncy bass line. "House" music if you will. This seemingly teemed up with the "euphoric" and "loved up feeling" MDMA (The Base for all Ecstasy tablets) and similar provided.
The club scene followed this path for a couple of decades till the early 00's
This was when commonly used drugs such as Ketamin and GB and more dark and dirty drugs hit the club scene. This was when you got your First Commercial Borderline Dub Step Tracks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-hjN5hXTM8) and that stemmed the downfall into a bass heavy dirty no need to dance just stand and vibrate era of clubbing.
I see dubstep as an evolution of miaow miaow (the latest UK drug craze)
It's a shame really, But Stu let me re assure you, your not old, It's just the drug taking clubbing youths are now on chemicals that inhibit the ability to dance or communicate.
Instead of ripping their shirt off and bouncing around dancing for hours to uplifting music hugging everybody (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1yABzXVkMw).
The Human Traffic days are over my friend! :( (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2hIxHKd_c)
**edit, I do by no means promote the use of illegal substances, This is merely an observation as an ex DJ of how the music of night clubs shifted***
This conversation was had by many DJ's I used to hang around with and was the turning point of the demise of many a good DJ that worked in nightclubs where substance abuse was prolific and often unable to be controlled by the in house security or the police. I for one hung up my headphones when the music I enjoyed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Xtvj_JVSM) from a consistent non chemical perspective was no longer as impacting and "roof raising" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JepU8E_7Ac&feature=related) to the crowds as the repetitive durge that is currently played in many nightclubs and only getting worse. Remember peeps the music in the charts is what is played in the clubs beforehand.
90's dance music was awesome. We put some mid 90 ministry of sound anthems on at work a few weeks ago...simply brilliant.
I too have no idea what " dubstep " is, is it a VW thing?
Mind you I still play tapes of old skool rave and early trance.
As I maintain, late 90's and very very early 00's was the peak imho.
Although been listening to Pete Tong and Jules a lot on the iplayer and the 'new' music they are playing still has the 'proper' feeling it used to :) thank feck!!

dubstep is music for children of the hollyoaks era, mainly morons. most drum an bass has it roots from early hip hop an dub, then dubstep came along an nicked some drums and made a horrid bassline to ruin our ears an dissrupt our brains

i always thought they were from the dordogne, as that is the noise they make when twanged....
