that actually the opposite of what i was trying to say, in other words people complaining about the naming of the rephlex comps kind of misses the point of how the instrumental side of the music is developing
thats forums for ya
Red Rooster said:I would class Plasticman as grime personally.
His sound is much more lively than dubstep (like grime) but it is just more interesting to listen to than most instrumental grime tracks.
However as a DJ i think he plays a lot more Wiley etc. than he does his own stuff so it will be interesting to hear him play @ FWD.
stelfox said:and whether you would or not doesn't make it correct. he isn't.
(this is not to deny that there's some crossover in the venn diagrams of dubstep, what plasticman and kode9 are doing and grime)
plasticman is also a fwd regular, so it's not as if this is some new development or anything.
Plasticman said:I think I'd class my stuff as grime. People can MC over it if they like, sometimes I make faster ones for the dancefloor but it's always a grime concept.
If we try to pigeon hole it too much it'll get silly.
The only reason my beats might sound more complicated to some people is because I add things at the end of the production that others might not add - just to give it a bit of an edge when played on it's own without mc's.
If I was making a beat specifically for vocals I'd strip it right down.
I think a lot of people will be surprised when the album drops next year.

Blackdown said:Forward is a club not a style of music.
People who play there play a variety of the darker garage hybrids.
yes dubstep gets played, and was broken there, but people also play breaks-, broken beat- and grime-influenced garage.
Plasticman's a grime DJ/producer, he's said so many times, and he's DJed at Forward for many years now.
if people are confused, why don't they come down and have a listen?
