The thread has me more confused then ever.
I've kind of always thought/felt that the genre classifications were more for Jurnos/NME to hype something for three weeks and move on and that we (the djs/producers/listners) didn't give a shit about if some was genre X or Q or whatever silly title someone came up with. This thread is quite evident that this isn't the case?
And I think it's not too big a leap to say that most of this stuff, if played to people outside our circles, would just be considered house music (or techno) all these classifications do is bring divisive attitudes when in reality we should just be putting them all together and creating what we want, and not by some dividing genre lines, but by what we actually like and enjoy. I thought that was the point?
I really don't care where anyone is from. But that's probably because I'm stuck in the middle of america and I kind of have to have that attitude. If I was from South London, I guess I'd have to claim my ends as some kind of point of reference if nothing more then the historical context.
All I got is Prince, Bob Dylan, and RSE. and i dont like any of that shit ; )
Sully's 'Track Side/ Duk St Dub' was one of the most underrated dubstep singles of the last year in my opinion, surprised it didn't get more attention
AGREED!
duke st dub is soooooo good! when that vocal fully kicks in with the bassline it's pretty damn near perfect imo.
