scatterbrain Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 http://prototyperaptor.bandcamp.com/ The genre tags are all house etc Any tune in particular we should listen to? new james blake is dope bhaugblhaglbuh listne 2 it Yes! James Blake and the Hessle, Hemlock and R&S labels are where it's at for the more garage-y stuff. From all the 'wubwub' comments, I get the feeling that people have mostly been exposed to American and Canadian dubstep. Personally, I find the excessive mid-range wobble to be grating. If I were on the dancefloor and the DJ dropped a Datsik or Excision track, I'd walk right off... In terms of dubstep, my regular club night tends towards stuff like and this. (Though there's also good coverage of drum & bass/jungle, juke and techno) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vagrance Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 new james blake is dope bhaugblhaglbuh listne 2 it As much as I like Burial and plenty of "chill" dubstep as it were, I just can't get into James Blake. It reminds me of Eskmo, except instead of raw technicality and production there's just a lot of noise and "minimal" elements. Personal taste thing though, I totally get why people like him (the vocal line in "Wilhelm Scream" is killer) but I can't help but get the feeling that a lot of his stuff is more style than substance, and the substance that does exist could've been done better. As for positivity, Sukh Knight constantly impresses me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE3Kl-SVu9M). Its never complicated stuff, but he nails the vibe in between the reggae/rap side of dubstep and the more club oriented stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatterbrain Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 http://prototyperaptor.bandcamp.com/ Hrm, it's mostly tagged as house etc. I listened to the Zelda remix but wasn't impressed. Excessive wobble is excessive. new james blake is dope bhaugblhaglbuh listne 2 it Yes indeed! Gotta love James Blake! You might also like the other stuff on the Hessle and Hemlock labels. Judging from the 'wubwubwub' comments, it seems like most people here have been exposed to more American/Canadian dubstep (like Datsik and Excision). The excessive mid-range wobble ain't my cup of tea. My regular club night tends towards stuff like and , as well as a healthy dose of jungle/drum & bass, juke and techno.

Hy Bound Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I always go to Nero, Excision, Datsik, and Noisia (not really dubstep most of the time, but it scratches the itch). Nero mostly though. Prototype Raptor does fuckin sweet stuff too if you're looking for around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automaton is a TUUUNE! On a tangent: I saw Flying Lotus when he toured here last month - amazing. I've not heard of Doshy before, but that EP title is rather apt! Very much enjoying Sunset! I must look into the label it's on... I think the only other artist I've heard really combine dubstep and chiptunes is Quarta330. Pretty sure he uses LSDJ or something. A few other artists have hinted at it at times, but not embraced it quite so fully as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrototypeRaptor Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hey guys lets narrow electronic music to a set of specific stylistic choices and subgenres, and limit our exposure to music This, but the exact opposite - listen to a ton of music, form what you like, and go from there. Even if you hate listening to something, do it. It's good for you. Builds character. And I wouldn't say what I do is dubstep... it's influenced by it sure, but I'm not by any stretch of the imagination Noisia... but I do like the wobble from time to time. http://soundcloud.com/prototyperaptor/dont-close-your-eyes-preview so that's that. anyway, stuff to check out: Noisia Skrillex Uppermost (more house than dubstep, but he's just so GOOD) Porter Robinson (again, more house than dubstep, but he uses the wobble effectively) Cookie Monsta ( )Borgore (good for some laughs) Level 67 is downright disgusting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXas6IsICnE) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfVguoq7sXE&feature=related) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatterbrain Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hey guys lets narrow electronic music to a set of specific stylistic choices and subgenres, and limit our exposure to music No, we're just narrowing the scope of conversation, not our listening. My Last.fm is linked in my sig, take a look if you like. Not to mention the fact that there's plenty of difference between the artists mentioned in this thread. SPEAKING OF LORNhttp://soundcloud.com/lorn/ghosst WOO! This, but the exact opposite - listen to a ton of music, form what you like, and go from there. Even if you hate listening to something, do it. It's good for you. Builds character. And I wouldn't say what I do is dubstep... it's influenced by it sure, but I'm not by any stretch of the imagination Noisia... but I do like the wobble from time to time. http://soundcloud.com/prototyperaptor/dont-close-your-eyes-preview Agreed on that first point. Listen to things, understand and appreciate them for what they are - that doesn't mean you've gotta like them. That track is great! I haven't listened to much electro house/breaks in a while, but it seems like you've got it nailed! With the exception of Noisia, I don't really rate the acts that you listed. I've got a special place for Noisia, as they were my very first drum & bass gig- blew my freakin' mind! hehehe (Supports were d-Bridge and Phace - night was insane!)

Right there, I addressed the fact that it's been around for quite a while, and gave several examples of it throughout its development. (FTR, 'dubstep' only codified around 8-9 years ago, though yes, its roots do extend back 'more than a fucking decade'.) Yes, I'm tired of that kind of talk too, but that's not the kind of thing this thread was created for. Protip: Use Facebook's filtering options and hide those status updates. Quite simply, if you don't like it, don't post. Heck, don't even read the thread and keep the bitterness to yourself. A conversation for another time/thread is the uselessness of the term "electronica"... heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
