Anybody familiar with this dubstep offshoot (distant? Paul Andrews?)? Downloaded a mix I found off of Philip Sherburne's blog, and it's certainly original. The music has a dubstep style beat, but with elements of chiptunes, crunk/hiphop, IDM, and splashy, watery effects. Jamie Vex'd, Zomby, Joker.. seem like some of the big names at the moment. Here's the mix, it's worth checking out, it's something original:

Wonky: pronunciation [wong-kee] –adjective, -ki•er, -ki•est.

1. British Slang.
a. shaky, groggy, or unsteady.
b. unreliable; not trustworthy.

2. Musical flavour - *not* a genre - transcending multiple scenes in summer 2008, characterised by an outbreak of unstable midrange synths.

Just to underline, "wonky" is not a genre. Kind of like how "minimal" isn't a genre. It's just a way to describe a certain approach to dubstep. Or techno, for that matter ("wonky techno" has been used for years to describe the stuff people like Cristian Vogel and Neil Landstrumm used to make).

did you use the word "wonky" as to describe the set being alternative, weird, or leftfield? wonky just happens to be used to describe a sound within dubstep, also known as "wobble" i think. still learning, anyone can correct me, but most tunes in this vid are wobble/wonky:

wonky is not wobble.

"Wobble" is a term used for dubstep tunes that use LFOs quite prominently, so that the bassline sounds like it "wobbles". Skream is perhaps best known for this:

ahh ok. wobble seems more dance floor friendly no?

Those tunes do indeed tend to get the biggest reaction, which is why dubstep nights often turn into boring competitions of who's got the biggest drop.

that's like '99 style trance the competition of scoring a bigger supersaw than the other one.

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

I can jam out to a bit of wonky dubstep but definitely don't prefer it and tend to get tired of it after about three or four tracks.

The word "wonky" always makes me think of clowns.
