a wonderful wooden reason
What's the real issue here? People have to hear stuff before they can be interested in it. And I think both MAH and Joe Nice (and many other DJs) have been playing stuff that's been sent to them unsolicited. Nothing to suggest that's not the case.There is nothing to suggest that original journeys will be accepted into the genre as it stands unless it is made by an established 'forefather' or cliquey nepotist insider nor that it will generate interest from the backasswards looking scene unless it gets played out by Ma Hobbes or Joe Nice with a follow up vinyl release
I know about cliquey, locked-off, stale scenes, but I really don't think that applies here. There's a hunger for good sounds wherever they come from.
I should let Blackdown speak for himself of course, but it seems to me he's saying the opposite? That your dubstep can't really be about London streets if you haven't been there. I grew up in London but I don't live there at the moment, so I wouldn't consider my music to about London now.Does it truly have to be about decaying london streets for it to be dubstep...
The article gives examples. Not enough? I think it's fair to voice concerns about the directions a music you care about might take as a whole. You don't have to listen to those concerns. If you can make wicked track using all of the mentioned 'dead-ends' then great! You might even inaugurate a new genre.and where's the evidence for well proven dead ends of dance music past ???
