And I agree with hurlingdervish on the variety of dubstep... take DMZ, Skream, then Clouds, then Starkey, then Mount Kimbie, then The Bug - you're all over the place. The newer Hyperdub wonky stuff is killing it right now - Zomby, Ikonika, Joker, etc. A wide variety of sounds. I don't like the Chase and Status, Caspa, and such sound - "the wobble yob" music as Blackdown calls it, but the majority of the stuff on Tempa, Deep Medi, and Hyperdub is really good music.

HD...does burial use sidechaining? joking...

I like "dogs shelter"...and "archangel" is cool too.

...i didnt follow any "new" genres when i heard about burial...i was like.."dubstep?"..."whut the hell is that..?"...

I dont know anybody who uses the word wonkey, except the fucking nme....

WHY ALL THE UK HATE lol!!!

caffiene makes me want to get in heated debates.

no uk hate here, just a bunch of wankers (haha) on the dubstep forums think americans are going to throw britney spears into the mix or something

and then eat cheeseburgers and bomb iran! USA #1

yeah it seems to be a moderately controversial name, but there are some pretty solid music journalists that use it - I think it's a pretty lame name, but I like the guys that are lumped into that category.

Anyways, I am one American that loves UK electronic music!

DOWN WITH GORDON BROWN.

Can someone name their 5 top dubstep artist and five top songs? I'm behind the curve on this shit and need to know what it is.

Edit:

Ok. I typed dubstep into youtube and checked the first video. I've been to clubs before playing this stuff. Seems more a variant of house without the four to the floor kick, but I don't know shit except that people who are into this kind of stuff do lots of cocaine.

White no(i)se music?

hmm never met anyone into this that does cocaine

http://www.box.net/shared/u0xp8t9po1

its more electro but it does have some wobbles and it was all hardware
with only a little be of editing in ableton at the end to pitch shift

This sounds kind of Mount Kimbie'ish. Pretty cool.
