Always nice to see Prancehall laying into the slovenly dubstep massive with their filthy hoodies and red stripe dispensing armpits haha
Agree with the article, though. I talked about something similar on my blog a few months ago...
''It seems to me that there's a great deal of dubstep (not all of it - see Silkie/Quest/TRG etc.) now which has less in common with UK garage than with DNB/techno/hip-hop, which is fine, but that garage-connection seems strong in Funky, and perhaps some sort of Funky/dubstep hybrid will emerge in 2009 that will help strengthen dubstep's ties to its musical roots in two-step and latterly 'tribal' percussion. [L.D has also just remixed 'Do You Mind' and you can't forget D1, whose 'Oingy Boingy' bridges the gap nicely]''
I was really reminded of how intensely rhythmic dubstep was when I saw Youngsta at FWD@the End - the Loefah/Skream/D1 tunes he was playing were so stripped down but so full of syncopation, percussion, and pauses. If you're hearing that stuff on a loud enough system you can dance to it with every part of your beautiful, pink, moist and naked body.
You won't end up pulling, though, unless you count 'pulling yourself off into your hand me down Vans while your mum cooks you eggs', of course.
