He's got Mala releasing his music for ffs, how is that having no respect or support.

yeah definitely. he also regularly plays at Dub Police nights, so it's not like he only gets love from a one part of the scene. seems a bit weird really. i've chatted to Quest a few times and he's never remotely struck me as someone who would have bit of a tantrum (if that is what's happened.. as Blackdown says, no-one knows the whole picture i suppose..)

anyway, on a more positive note, anyone know if Smooth Skin will see a release?? think it's my favourite quest tune so far

Id say a load of students heckled him on Saturday night because he didnt have that ' when I look at you ' tune . And he just had a sore head yesterday, blowing off steam .

can i just say......
i cannot truly leave, i can leave the lifestyle, the idiots, the scene but my music cannot leave it will be here forever. some of the comments on this thread are ridiculous as some of u have never even spoken to me and don't have a clue who i am as a person.
i'm not doing this because of bookings because i have bookings, its not because of lack of fame because i care not for fame. my reasons are personal and are to do with who i am as a person. Every song i have made has been sincere and from the heart and based on my feelings of life and my enjoyment of the music i am in. Lately i feel i all of that has gone from my music due to politics, disrespectful comments not just towards me but some of my peers, and an overall lack of respect for integrity and sincerity. We are now based in a scene based on hype, the media has got involved and we are all pandaring to them. All of these things has changed me as a person and has begun to affect my music, the love i felt and the emotional attachment i had has now gone. without those things i cannot function as a producer, i could choose to sit and make music that has no meaning but that just isn't who i am. anybody that knows me could tell u that i have been depressed for months, smooth skin was the first thing i made in ages that i felt was who i am so that sound is what i wish to persue among others. i am not saying i will never come back or that i don't appreciate every experience i have had, i just need to sort things out for myself musically, maybe gain a new perspective and a thicker skin.

out to all my brothers and sisters who have isnpired me along the way and made me the producer i am today, i will love u for life!!

don't see this as the end..... it is just the beggining :)

p.s i am continuing to do bookings because i have dates that already been arranged and i am a man of my word not because i see this as some sort of cash cow.( the things some people say on this forum astounds me everyday)

So basically I am still none the wiser, is he having a pop at wobble? Journalists? Not quite sure? Still an odd thing to post up on shitbook/doorstopforum. I might try it to give myself an ego boost.

Sounds like he's just spending too much time and energy thinking about the other stuff that being involved in the music industry brings into your life, and feels it's affecting his music too much. Could be many things triggering it, either significant or petty. Doesn't really matter.

Fair enough - it's good to step back and make changes if you're unhappy, but (similar to Domu's exit from music) I think these types of decisions are probably best left private.

That is fair enough init. Mind you Id save that emo for when something actually happens that forces you to stop making beats, but thats just me, he has made some sick tunes come to think of it.

Never been much of a fan of Quest, but really like Smooth Skin. I hadn't heard it before, but I've kept listening to it since I saw your post.

based on the non-140 bpm tunes i've heard and this latest statement, i think he's just going to ditch 140, thus leaving behind all the "dubstep" hype and wiping the slate clean a bit

i suspect other antisocial crew will be doing this too

can't blame them really, i know if i was a producer that's what i'd be doing right now

Really feeling the Loefah mix on the Autonomic podcast



I've definitely felt more open to dubstep in the last few weeks. Not going on dubstepforum every day has probably got something to do with it.

Was listening to Mala tunes the other day off the hype around 'Return II Space' and absolutely loving every one. I kinda hate the little riff on 'eyez', the sub is huge though.

Also saw 2562 the other night on a pretty good system - he killed it.

Loads of those techno-y dubstep tunes that sound a bit dull and dry on a home system really come alive when they're juddering through your body and you've drunk a lot of rum.

yeah definitely.

i tried sticking with DSF but it's just impossible.

i don't think ANYONE who joined in 05/06 or even 07 posts there anymore. apart from skream.

i still like going to nights tho. and doing incredible superstar dj bedroom mixes with my impeccable record collection. ;)
