Or mean just a track with nice wobbles? (But this is way too good to be called Brostep)
this is a real nice track.
but for the rest of the stuff i guess i didn't know what the hell i was asking for. no doubt nice wobbles all around but harsh. id rather listen to industrial and power electronics.

Yeah you probably didn't know what you were asking for
98% of Brostep is retarded noises that give me a headache but sometimes the wobbles somehow stick in my head like that Crispy Rolls track.

Whatever the reasons why people like it, that stuff is still dubstep. It's probably closer to the original deep, trippy, dubby sounds of the genre than the diluted mid-range wobble-shite that people associate with the term these days.
he was commenting on my love of Shackleton et al fyi. it makes sense what he says. the kinda stuff i like aligns itself with genres i already like, like dub techno, idm, the soulful 2-step garage that came in 98-99, and the stuff on Skulldisco and Mala - Alicia falls resonates with the sounds in those genres. i'm predisposed to like that specific stuff cuz of previous listening. Especially if you take stuff like Groove Chronicles that started the wobble wobble:
sounds alot like 2-step garage. alot of the guys into dubstep (ie brostep) like it cuz of its harshness, its difference from the smoother stuff. one guy i was talking to said, "i like music so dirty that it's like fingering your little sister and finding your daddy's wedding ring" . and these are the same guys who hate "that techno shit" but love electrohouse.

you can just filter out all of the highs and most of the mids and mix it with a nice tool and get the track of your dreams
im considering doing this

Yeah... but I don't get why this is being said. What is Ted playing devil's advocate against? Here's what happened in this thread:
Osterzone: "How does that sound like dubstep at all?"
You: "you have never heard of the Peverelist? or Shackleton? or Skulldisco (their label)? check it out. this is where the real nice sound of dubstep is coming out of. the wobbly stuff is just a scratch on the surface."
Ted: "Allow me to play devil's advocate here in saying that usually these artists appeal to people who already have a predisposition to tech house and techno."
I don't get it. Where has this discussion about why we like certain styles come from? It's self-evident that people who want filthy music will go for one sub-style of dubstep, people who want spacey stuff will go for another, people who want soulful stuff will go somewhere else etc.

nahhh. this is not the chain of events. Woony posted in response to my dislike of everything else Mala ever made except "Alicia". Ted said my like of dubstep aint teh truestep. it has been influenced. i agreed.
edit: btw, this is one of dem influences:

Those three posts I just repeated where quoting each other in that exact order. Ted didn't quote anything you said about Mala or anything you said to Woony.
breakfast does not lead to lunch. tings are not as chronologically linked as they may seem
The quote by Mr. Promo referred to the "techy sound" that i like:
"the dubstep i like is more techy, like some of the stuff released on Skulldisco. Mala - Alicia just reminded me of old 2-step garage like Groove Chronicles, had that same loungin jazzy vibe."
anyway, the thread seems done, but anyone have example of dubstep that sound like the Skulldisco stuff? (more techy is better, more intricate percussion is better, more ambient is better)

Since you mentioned idm, you could check out Defrag and especially Funckarma. Funcken brothers are idm->dubstep converts, but they detained clicks, pops, glitches and other idm elements in their music.

Try a guy called Kuoyah. Got two of his promos in my inbox last month out of nowhere.
