There are some good producers but more and more they are distancing themselves from the demands of the dubstep dancefloor, when was the last really good loefah or mala tune you heard, new one?
mms said:What seems to have happened is a crossover with the wishes and production values of another audience who have maybe come in from current d and b and techno
mms said:Development means producers and next generation of producers building on and contrast / add to what came before within the genre or contrasting with grime etc..
mms said:and course then there is the challenge of bringing them together as a scene, but i don't think it will be the same environment, space, club etc as dubstep at the moment. thats what i think might happen.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find much evidence of this mythical 'halfstep wobble orthodoxy' in recent line-ups at DMZ, Platform 1 or FWD, or on most SubFM radio shows, so it's hardly omnipresent. And then when a big wobbler does drop it's a lot of fun!
Good passionate defence there Ben.
Loefah got writers bloc then or what?
Not really sure to be honest.. I'd be very surprised if he isn't writing, but we certainly aren't hearing anything. It's a shame cos at DMZ he used to add something, whereas now I really would prefer just a Mala set. It's funny too because he has a big backlog of unreleased material from around 2005 (midnight, enconer, woman, norwood, crack bong remix etc) that would be great to hear out, but mostly he just plays his released stuff...
none of the tracks loefah and mala have put out recently have been new, the recent tracks on deep medi were made in '04 etc...

My post was directed at you for the most part but it became more like a diatribe against the foundations for most people's anti-dubstep rants.. sorry
If you're talking purely about releases, then you're not actually talking about the dubstep scene at all.
I'm talking about dubstep. Not what gets released but the music that's getting made now, and being heard now on radio and in raves. That's the real dubstep community, and that's the only yardstick for measuring the progression of the scene.
no arguments there, 2005 is my favourite period of dubstep history. but there's a lot of everything compared to that time.
maybe coki will do a record without that riffing line who knows
HAHAHA...
Judging by the contents of the package that popped through my letterbox this morning, it would appear that Pinch's album is finally finished...
Apparently the Pinch LP is wicked.
I find the anti-Coki sentiment a bit strange. I suppose he could do with being a bit more selective with what he releases, and he does have quite a few riffy tracks that are obviously based on the same template, but really is there any precident at all for that music? Maybe something you might hear deep in a live Shaka set, or some out there On-U bits but even then it's built on a different rhythmic foundation. It's really original and unique I think, and that's often where you get followers coming in.Don't forget, Coki made what is for my money the best dubstep record ever made - Mood Dub. Lush, transcendent deepness. True dub.
Pisses all over the Red Eye EP.
