[QUOTE=Bumrang;40824036]Holy shit what happened to Borgore? I mean his music was decent in the beginning and now it's just...bleh. And yeah Knife Party is just awful, they honestly hurt my ears. I mean just listen to this shit: [video=youtube;gcejLp72iCE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcejLp72iCE[/video] Speaking of awful dubstep artists[/QUOTE] A) that's electro house B) it's good
[QUOTE=Scot;40825428]A) that's electro house B) it's good[/QUOTE] Agree ^ Knife Party are decent. LRAD is pretty good by KP too. Dubstep is just for going past people in your car really loud for shits n giggles. Progressive/Electro/Techno House is the way forward
We should thank Skream for all the stuff he has given to the scene in the past 10 years, but still, such claims are really out of place, especially coming from the guy who's considered one of the genre's most important artist.
I didn't even know there was such a thing as good dubstep. [B]Edit:[/B] Don't know if I should stop living under this rock, here.
i personally can only stand a few techno/dub wise i like most of renard's serious music (aka when hes not as renard) [video=youtube;aL0Ljd2N-sE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL0Ljd2N-sE[/video] gets good at the 1 min mark.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;40825544]I didn't even know there was such a thing as good dubstep.[/QUOTE] There is good in every genre if you care enough to look.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;40825544]I didn't even know there was such a thing as good dubstep.[/QUOTE] , and there's this guy.
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;40825343]dubstep peaked in about 2010 before the americans got hold of it[/QUOTE] Personally I thought it peaked around the 2007/8 mark but it was starting to be commercialised even then. Some cracking stuff is still being released by the likes of My Nu Leng and many others. Skream is the only decent producer mentioned so far in this thread so far besides Burial, which is sad. What about Mala, Coki, Distance, Loefah, Jakes etc etc...?

It shows.
Anybody claiming Dubstep is dead is straight up wrong, there's still a steady flow of material being released from various labels and artists. All that is happening is that people are sort of getting wiser to the messy, obnoxious stuff that is designed to be as loud and as hard as possible. Trap is also starting to take up the attention of the ''EDM'' world.
My only concern is what's going to happen to his dubs
[QUOTE=Scot;40825586]Doesn't that guy make dozens of tracks a week? It shows.[/QUOTE] not for his serious albums, hence why renard is mostly fucking around with renard, but rarely releasing albums for the other labels. the one i posted was from may 2011.
[QUOTE=Doozle;40825594]My only concern is what's going to happen to his dubs[/QUOTE] Be great if they could be released someday!

And you just can't put Knife Party and awful in the same sentence.
[QUOTE=stomppah;40825633]Be great if they could be released someday![/QUOTE] Probably won't happen until he grows out of this bubblegum Garage/House thing. Or he just says ''fuck it'' and releases another Freeizm (which is highly unlikely).
[QUOTE=Valiantttt;40825313]Finally, I hated dubstep and even more when it was the shitty one that nobody could like. I did like the DnB from pendulum but never liked the skrillex dubstep things. And anything with metal sounds.[/QUOTE] Skrillex is only the tiniest part of dubstep though, most people listen to his brostep stuff and say they hate dubstep. Its not all about dial-up noises mixed with someone shitting in a blender, there's plenty of dubstep like this which people don't even class as dubstep anymore because perceptions of the genre have been changed so much by the more commercialized artists.

I liked dubstep then and I like dubstep now. IMO classics like Skream's Rutten, Rusko's Cockney Thug & Benga's Descending still sound far better than Skrillex, but I can really see that everyone IS making stuff like Skrillex, probably for easy commercial appeal and because the mainstream like that. Club-wise, it's really fucking awesome when DJs drop Dubstep of any kind. Only pretentious dick-heads go 'oh it's Knife Party, they're not [i]real[/i] dubstep' - who even gives a fuck anyway.
pretty much what dubstep turned into, "brostep" is nothing like what dubstep used to be, sorry to sound hipster but dubstep used to be so, so much better and nicer to listen to. some of my favourites being kromestar, JSL/RUF, mala, coki, Leofah, Plastician, DJ Hatcha some good mixtapes to listen to are Revelomatic's No Bull Halfstep, each disc is a little different, really good listen [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEuFTBG0Rbg[/URL][/media] [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=RentAhobO;40824924][video=youtube;ZN9cJvl-P4c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9cJvl-P4c[/video][/QUOTE] borgore is on the same level is skrillex, awful

Been to a lot dances in the past year. Seen some sick names play out. Never any brostep tho
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;40825783] [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEuFTBG0Rbg[/URL][/media][/quote] Valid. TBH I've never gone out and heard back-to-back dirty drops. It's always like one song here, then some chilled-er shit for a while, then bang, Doctor P's Tetris, Bass Cannon or something else by Flux Pavilion. I don't think it'd be too great just hearing drop-after-drop like that with no remission period. It'd be too energetic.
Dub step isn't a fad at all, nor is it fading away. I seriously don't understand how you can say that just because its not as prominent anymore - Rock isn't everywhere but that hasn't 'gone away' has it?
The whole "dubstep" debate really gets on my nerves. People don't seem to see the difference between dubstep (amazing artists - generally british- like mala, coki, benga, skream, hatcha, artwork, plastician/plasticman, etc) and what I like to call "post-dubstep" (american, commercialised dubstep by people like skrillex and borgore etc.) I like to think of them as two completely genres. To me this means that dubstep isn't dead at all, because there's still amazing artists coming out of the woodwork and making beautiful dubstep tracks. Like, have you guys ever listened to Plastician or any of the other dubstep dons on pirate radio stations like rinse.fm and kiss.fm? Post-dubstep, however, is an incredibly boring genre which - again, to [B]me[/B] - is incredibly saturated and just needs to hurry up and die. [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] And I'm not saying that post-dubstep is entirely dominated by Americans, it just seems to have been created and made popular by American musicians. There are a few British artists out there like Flux Pavillion and Feed Me. Knife Party, too. [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] Oh, and, Skream never said that dubstep was dead. It's just the writer of the article being sensationalist. He's simply saying that he's done with dubstep, and that he's moving onto other genres (he's been doing a huge amount of work popularising house and new disco tracks/artists).
A thread about Skream and this hasn't been posted yet? For shame. [video=youtube;D6pTSGvp7T8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6pTSGvp7T8[/video] "Bro-step" might be a dying fad but Dubstep has planted itself as a well respected and stable genre, at least in the somewhat more underground scenes. There's still a lot of strictly old-school Dubstep nights being thrown here and I live in a small city. Besides, one of the big growing scenes is the whole "Post-Dubstep/Future Bass" scene, which is often argued as a new sub-genre of Dubstep, or at least reminiscent of it.

I was just looking for something that was better than "brostep", I think it sounds a little stupid.

Obviously it was never a chart topper, but it really solidified the genre.
dubsteps definition of what it actually is has been fucked around way too much.
It had its moment when it first started to become popular, it was something new and different. I just think it all sounds a bit samey now all kind of going for the same skrillex-esque sound. I still like some stuff, but I'd rather lick piss off an electric fence than listen to most "brostep".
