don't forget heavy as stone.... amazing tune that.
funny thing about the 'new dnb sound' ie. Dbridge and Instra:mental.. when dubstep was creeping westward in 2006 the dnb hedz called it 'slowed down dnb', 'too slow' etc ... and now drum n bass is little else than sped up dubstep.
im pretty sure dbridge & instramental weren't calling it slowed down dnb. i think they've been supporters for a while now.
id also hardly say it's the new dnb sound. there's probably 3-4 labels that are even releasing this stuff and i dont think too many big djs are even playing it.
and the half step dnb thing is nothing new at all...digital and amit have been doing it for a decade.
but back to dubstep...
that Lauren Pritchard Various Productions/Guido remix 10" is pretty damn good.
I got to see the Dub Police Scion tour in Minneapolis a couple nights ago and was pretty impressed. Matty G started off the night with some pretty solid classic selections, kalawanji, jah war remix, 50000 watts, shattered, etc. I was pretty suprised that The Others selection was fairly diverse and not all bangers, D1 was awesome started off with higher and then mixed in that old Benga dub (the one that got release on the 2x12" roots of dubstep ep) then plenty of his own productions, etc (Did not realize what big dude he was!) Caspa closed the night out playing exactly what you would think and I left once it turned to a mosh pit/pushing fight up front. the venue only held 250 and they had to turn away around 150+ ppl...pretty crazy considereing when i was doing shows here 3-4 years ago it was impossible to get mor then 15 ppl to show up : )
