I think it is fair game to use the term brostep in a balanced argument. It is a pejorative that has achieved melioration/amelioration these days in the same way that 'grime' was originally a diss to dark/rudeboy/kid garage and then adopted by the upstarts. Loads of people, especially in the US...

I also think this is another key point. What made UK Garage so strong for so long was the DJs like DJ EZ who were putting different types of rhythm together. UK Garage for a long while was essentially 135bpm bass music. These guys were mixing Dem 2 with 138 Trek, Dooms Night, So Solid, Saved...

I thought the Blackdown's Pitchfork article was decent and I'm glad someone is joining the dots between these factions because if some of them awaken/get over themselves we might actually begin to feel some sort of semblance of a scene. If that happens then we may well find we can get the best...

I kind of think a scene is always in trouble when it begins to question itself or begins any introspection or begins to suffer an identity crisis. Obviously good things can come out of the back of this like new forms/change of guard/etc. Probably lots of people on here have contempt for the...

Things I miss about a scene (alot of this I didn't know I missed this till it stopped happening and I'm not being facetious.) 1. Everyone battering the same dubplates. -It creates those all encompassing anthems a whole lot easier -Knowing that you would almost certainly hear a certain...

I'm glad this is happening. I'm gonna make some eskifunk dirt bag shit and send it over.

In the good old days funky would have been another sub-genre that would have slotted into the eclectic makeup of UKG. Breakbeat garage, vocal 2-step, grimey garage, dark 4x4, dubstep... funky. A boy can only dream.

Dem 2 are epic but such a tiny tiny discography. I'm not gonna vote on the basis of one tune surely?

rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread...

For a long time Reynolds was considered the main voice of rave criticism. He is certainly wrote the rule book on it, and that credit will always stay with him. His opinion is still valid, just less so in my eyes due his lack of immersion in the scene today. You need to consider the context of...

Yeah agreed I have this argument with mates down the pub... 1000 shit soundcloud tunes = 100 high stack of shit white label tunes It is up to the good selectah to be the filter. The signal to noise ratio in bass music is certainly strong enough to gain something from. Reynolds view is...

Yeah Reynolds seems to have cherry-picked the negative shots to buffer his argument. This is what happens when you live on the moon and have never been to Night Slugz or a Oneman or Jackmaster live set.

This has probably been mentioned before but the Logan forced meme jpegs are getting funnier and funnier. Look at the bottom of the page. (This probably pertains to the 'slander' part of the post title.) http://memegenerator.net/Scumbag-Logan I know this sort of shit is harsh and one way but...

Let's face it, house music people hate garage music. They always have and always will. Pick up a copy of Mixmag in 2000 and besides the uk garage reviews page the word garage was a hugely dirty one. It doesn't help that bass music has been converging over the last 2 years. It seems as muso...

I agree that the programming and mixdowns are not there yet but the levels are definitely on the up and I will take good ideas with feeling over an insipid pseudo-techno tune any day of the week. Plus acts like Dark Sky are getting the beats and grooves tight and the execution and creativity...

Thing is with that Original Face tune the ideas are headfucky and all over the place... just like grime in it's early days. That tune moves it on from anything after Hyph Mngo but injects a huge amount of energy into the mix which is what young producers like Original Face do best. My problem...

Ed Sheeran has had majors/publishers sniffing about for months yeah, but not a pound was spent by Atlantic to get that EP into the itunes chart. Accepted he used a few big names help it get there but when ever has that ever been the case in the record industry before? Tempah had virtually no...
