I'm living in San Antonio. Just got in touch with Bob Grommit up in Austin this week, he has been having a tuesday night dubstep/dnb session up there. Said he might be looking for a venue just for dubstep. I'm doing the same here in S.A. Looking for a venue for a dub monthly, getting close to locking it down, which i'm excited about the folks certainly seem up for it.
I don't know if I've been stoned for the past year or what, but was listening back to an old Youngsta set as he was playing Ancient Memories, I was thinking how great the track was etc... then realized has this track been released? and if so how did I miss it. I know the remix is not out, but did the original ever surface anywhere?

the balance between space and dancing is definitely an interesting one. sure velvet rooms was 'garage' but then back then everything was 'garage' even Pay As U Go Cartel ft Slimzee and Maxwell D live at Forward>>.
Burial's forthcoming LP on Hyperdub should be interesting if you like dubstep with emotive depth and old-school garage swing.
re: dancing? What *is* dancing like at dubstep nights? Speaking as someone who only knows anything garage/2-step-y from downloading radio sets etc., and for whom most dancing has involved top 40 hip hop and dancehall and reggaeton, it's a little bit hard to see how dubstep dancing might work...

its interesting when youngsta takes it from half step to a "normal" garage rhythm - all of a sudden the space starts getting filled with percussion. that seems to get the dancefloor going.

yeah what's great right now is that there's 4/4, halfstep, more conventional kick-snare-kick-snare rhythms and all shades in between. not many scenes have such rhythmic diversity. i'm really enjoying it.
but the way each of them add or take from the sense of momentum is interesting. i wrote about the different takes on this here.

At Dub War 4 I watched Joe Nice drop Conference,
the place went nuts, I was to busy doing my little skank
to really notice that the guys at the front of the stage were bouncing.
It all depends on the energy of the night and the DJ.

it's good to know these gems aren't going to disappear into the acetate ether!
