Dubstep purism is a weird one, though - it's all about complaining about people not changing the sound enough rather than about changing it too much. The general whinge isn't that people are are bastardizing the genre to fit their own style, it's that they're abandoning their own ideas and influences and making something that sounds exactly like 15 million other boring dark halfstep tunes but with better production values.

Yeah I guess so, when you put it like that, it does come across as odd. But I think it is something with a bit of a tradition to it, cf the eternal criticism of 'bandwagon jumpers', people 'cashing in' and so forth, where the complaint usually seems to be that people are rushing to make a very basic, unimaginative copy of a pre-existing template in order to benefit from a currently popular sound.
Usually I'm not much of a one for purism, and I'm certainly not qualified to act as a dubstep 'head', but I would have to say that most stuff I've heard from Rusko and Caspa so far is crap. Rubber Chicken was ok though I guess.

They've done loads of good stuff, it just gets really wearing after 7 or 8 in a row.
i think that snoop track is alright, bit better than the original, the big bass, the chorus and the hindi vocals sound good. diplo though.. hmm.
well i was basing my reflections on an 'all things considered' perspective

saw Quest dj last night, i'd forgotten what an utterly unstoppable dj he is! once the crowd started moving he took us so many places, technically flawless but more importantly the sequencing and timing was too much, had me losing it in a way that i haven't to straight dubstep for a while. pure vibes. so much love for Anti Social, they are doing it in a big way

definitely recommend having a listen to hatcha's last kissfm show with jay 5ive and quest, some sick tunes on there including this really militant but rolling new mala thing

Sick. Will have to make sure I reach.
What's he gonna do though if he needs a piss?
i've not found a set from radio that i enjoy anywhere close to as much as i have when i've seen them out... definitely benefits a great deal from the vibe of a dancefloor and big sound
