why must it always be evil journos twisting someones words. he might have said it exactly as printed.
because the standards for quoting in journalism are so low. Sure, Mala could have said that, but I wouldn't take the journo's word for it.

I find it ironic that people are STILL banging on about the difference in production quality between Dubstep and Grime... when to my ears they sound pretty similar quality-wise, I mean Dubstep is often more instrumentally filled out, but in terms of the engineering side of it, they are both generally slightly rough sounding (with a few exceptions in both genres- ie Wiley's productions appear to get slicker and slicker, whereas a lot of fruity-loop wobble-step is rough and ready, unpleasantly simplistic even...)
There still are plenty of people in the dubstep scene who rep grime and disprove that though: Plastician, MRK 1, Kode 9, Chef, Darkside, Wonder, Geeneus etc.
You're right about most of that list, but I haven't seen Geeneus play anything other than extremely bait dubstep records in ages now. Seriously, his sets at FWD are absolute snoozefests. If I want to watch someone play solid Benga records for an hour, I'd prefer to watch Benga do it - at least he might have some new ones.
I can only assume that Geeneus sold his garage soul at the crossroads in return for being the Founding Member and CEO of Dubstep Ltd. You would think a PAUG dj would know a 2step beat when he heard it. You would be wrong.

I wouldn't say this is true at all. In dubstep I think there is a massive focus on the physical side of production. I can't vouch for every single producer, but it's obvious that a big number work very hard themselves and with Jason at Transition to master the art of the science of sound.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that I think it is one of the main things that defines the current dubstep scene, the intense focus on the physicality of sound and how to properly translate feelings into vibrations via a weighty soundsystem.
noticed boomkat has skreamism vol 3 listed (out in a few weeks)...anyone heard it? any changes or same style?
will try and have a barefiles update for you later today. but it won't be the same as it was. that's all i can say for now.
Yeah you know why? This is what he's trying to do: you see what Roni Size tried to do with the jungle or drum 'n' bass scene, where it's theirs? That is what he's trying to do. They're looking at grime going 'nah, it's just kids going mad, forget about that, but dubstep is our thing. I'm Randall. I'm Grooverider'. But really no-one's no-one.
I love wiley's tracks, but with all respect, doesn't that say more about wiley than about geeneus? Not that I am an expert, but what was that again about him retiring from grime and then suddenly planning to turn up at Hatcha's show?
