I passionately hate the stuff Scuba is doing with live guitar and bass, I can't think of a less promising direction for dubstep to go in. Obviously I can't confess these sentiments on Dubstepforum or I'd get banned for life.
madness, cant say i can even begin to fathom that comparison! please go on...
I think Scuba is dubstep's R&S.
Yes. Errr, work, I'm afraid.er, well shouldn't it be Hot Flush = R & S
which makes Paul Rose the Renaat Vandepapeliere of dubstep, then?
please expand, Paul...
I am determined to see dubstep as being as much a modern variant of reggae
how can this actually be possible, given there are next to no cultural links/connections between the dubstep scene and reggae?
You're joking aren't you?how can this actually be possible, given there are next to no cultural links/connections between the dubstep scene and reggae?
It comes from both. "We just wanted to put on the biggest jungle dance around... everything I know about reggae is from jungle"... But historically, the link from reggae to acid house and this to ardkore et al is direct.It wants to be seen as coming from that lineage, rather than from E-culture etc, surely.
Or Coki, who's made a lot of dancehall.Ask Loefah about it next time he's spinning at Bash...
i can see the heritage but going back that far you could connect pretty much any UK dance music to the reggae scene.
