yeah, no kidding...i subscribe via itunes, they went ages before making a new batch of sets available and when they did, they were going to take 3 hours to download, so i stopped it. couldn't get them to DL from the rinse site either.

this sicko cell track is cool but why do these guys always have to soften tracks that would be far better sparse? i dont need all those superfluous 'nice' background melody/atmospheric lines (or am i listening to some blend of it with another track?). its like with footcrab, which would have been much better if it didnt have all the twinkly synth sounds to give it 'depth' or 'extra layers' or whatever. anyway sicko cell just sounds like 80s R&B/electro. weird to think loefah is putting something like that out lol.

this ecletism in current state of bass music is great, but tbh i'm starting to miss focus.

loving Boddika's Boiler Room set. this electro sound is quite rational continuation for Loefah to push.

The nothern MC or the regular one? I cant stand the one who has a lispy/camp voice - he says so much drivel

I tried to listen to the Jamie XX mix but I had to turn it off as his chat was killing me,
he should try and MC properly or just stop chatting shit

This is what I miss about dubstep as it was when I got into it. The unity of sound, the 'hub' events (DMZ/FWD/Leeds), the tribalism of it even... I dunno, perhaps that stuff exists for this eclectic bass-music scene, I'm pretty out of touch.

I think it's great that people can play different stuff and there are a lot of good nights playing that kind of range of music but I wouldn't mind something as focussed as dubstep was appearing again. UK Funky I suppose?

The thing is the internet has changed everything. Eclecticism is almost simply natural for an audience which can now hear practically everything with a few clicks of a mouse.

yep. feel exactly the same.

even going to FWD now.. in many ways it's great that the line ups are so diverse.. but, in a weird way, there was also something nice about FWD a few years ago when you could go there kind of knowing what to expect

All about pride and egos
Dubstep nights now mean to me:

1. Most of the good shit will be funky/house strangely masquerading as dubstep
2. WWE-anthem esque boner wobble, during which all the 17-year-old white males take their shirts off
3. Hilariously precious reactionary anti-brostep dubstep: everyone in their late twenties start to enjoy themselves, one of the aforementioned shirtless kids shouts "play some dubstep", and the entire set sounds like a baby whale singing over a little girl's musical box.

Do not read this.
yea that host on the boiler room is shit.

Fwd has been good recently.. *edit the sound is definitely different though, just seems a bit loud now, no warmth.

Not sure if he's northern, there's one who just talks over the top of the music like Asbo on oneman sets but without any humour or likeability, then on that Swamp takeover there's one who actually tries to spit bars, but it's completely laughable, could even be the same bloke? I was trying to block it out so I didn't really notice an accent.

Agree with the sentiment (sometimes), but quite like some of the music, is it all that bad in your opinion? And does this attitude not also apply to no. 1?
