has anyone heard any of this before? i got my hands on sum about 3 weeks ago. and Friggin love it.. i never considered trying out the garage scene, since i heard alot of bad rep about it, but had seen the 'dubstep' name around a fair bit lately..
The freakin most chilled, travelling, grooving music beats! really refreshing and original.
if you havnt heard, try and get your hands on some, you may be surprised. anyone else feeling this sound?
Skream has an EM that i have been listening too lately. thier are also a few other pretty cool ones that are about if you know how to get them. |

| I heard a few sets around mid-2005 when it was just a little London scene. A guy on another forum was really hyping it up. I didn't like it then and I basically wrote it off. However, it's really grown since then and now seems to be one of the most upfront genres in electronic music, so I really should go back and listen to it again. It's fairly established now in the UK, although it's still largely unknown in the rest of the world. |

This song practically got me into dubstep few months ago. It's got so much of soul and emotion that I've had to search for more.
Any tunes from Burial are always a great choice, he's still my favourite dubstep artist and I would recommend pretty much everything he's released. He works anonymously, noone (well, almost noone) knows how old he is, how does he look like, he just makes his tunes in SoundForge (!) and lets the music speak. Definitely check out his last year's album self-titled debut and watch out for his second album coming out in November (it's got a thread in the CD/New Releases section).
Mala, Digital Mystikz, Loefah, Kode9, Pinch, Martyn, 2562 are also brilliant and definitely well worth checking out.
Labels: Tectonic, Tempa, Hyperdub, DMZ, Soul Jazz
This should keep you busy for a while. |

| I don't mind the stuff, but I vastly prefer the halcyon days of UK Garage to it... Burial is an absolutely ace producer (looking forward to his next album!), though, and by far my favorite dubstep artist. |

Shackleton, Peverelist, Milanese, Vex'd, Geiom, Distance, Horsepower Productions, Moving Ninja, Coki, Darqwan, Boxcutter, Blackdown...
Then there's a whole bunch of guys who produce more "jump-up" or party type tunes, straight-forward wobblers etc.: Skream, Benga, Rusko, Caspa, Kromestar, Cotti, Cluekid...
There's always cross-over, so you never know who's gonna come up with some wacked-out leftfield . |

Yeah, I would say it's pretty much the crossover track. It's the only song Burial's produced with help of a sequencer so the beats are maybe clearer and rhythm easier to grasp for an untrained ear. However, he said in this interview he abandoned using sequencer after finishing Unite and returned back to his good old Soundforge.
And there is the vocal... oh boy, that vocal. If you like this, listen to the Ghost Hardware EP released earlier this year. Also, check out Martyn - Broken... and you should be hooked :p |

El-B is by and large a UK Garage/2step-producer, not your archetype dubstep producer (with an exception of Ghost Rider EP).
He was, however, highly influential to the creation of the genre along with Horsepower. His Ghost-project with J Da Flex is definitely worth tracking down if you want to hear where dubstep came from, as hard as it might be to find at this point. |
