It kind of is, call it braindance if it bothers you so much.

Okay.

Who ever mentioned that's what it's intended for?

Great ammount of irony right there.

Originally posted by Meat187 I'd appreciate some hints at more danceable / partyable stuff.

me too. but this thread is about one particular track that apparently deserves a whole thread devoted to it for discussion on how great it is. there is another thread further down titled "dubstep anyone?", (maybe page 2?) that has 3 suggestions from me that i have tested and verified myself they indeed make people dance. the people i had over at my house came up and were very intrigued and wanted to know the artist, where i found it, etc.

i kind of dont want to talk about dubstep on this forum though, i fear the same fate that happened to minimal house/techno will happen to dubstep: a flood of newcomers that will saturate the genre with crap. but theres really nothing you can do, people are going to discover a genre no matter what in this internet age, and especially faster because of the internet. underground music doesnt exist anymore and never will again! because as soon as a scene evolves it gets exploited via youtube and within weeks its on radio1 !! its mankind's constant hunger for new sounds. in fact i think its already too late for dubstep, its already been cheesified, loads of cheesy girly UK garage-esque style vocals and bubble gum pop sound type dubstep tunes all over the place now.

Are you sure that those tunes aren't just Garage in itself and your classification of Dubstep is wrong?

This is the type of dubstep I like more:

Btw, my favorite dubstep artists are Skream, Benga and Burial.

I don't know what tracks he's talking about, but there's quite a bit of 2step styled tunes flying about right now. See: http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/s...ack=SUBWAY005EP (Vinyl 1, track 01 and Vinyl 2, track 02)

I love 2step, and I wish more people were doing that and not shit, generic jump-up wobble.

I've heard barely any 2-step in my life and I like it so far.
Don't know why haven't I given it more attention.

Ah got ya,

Still don't see where the original poster is coming from, surely its not immoral for a genre to sometimes go back to its roots.

That whole show was superb. Got anything else to recommend?

See if you can track down a copy of MJ Cole's Essential Mix from the year 2000... some good stuff. Back in the day, MJ Cole was the shit in the world of UK Garage.
