this is a tune for driving
it seems like such a high proportion of DSF members are from the US these days... like at least half the board.
is dubstep big in america now? do college kids rave to it etc?

YUP.
when i was first playing it out a few years ago i was lucky to get 20 ppl to show up. there's a crew in my town doing lots of shows (like 3-4 month) and they get 300-400+ ppl to show up easily. 90% of the kids in attendence are 18-21 years old.
and a majority of the headliners are the likes of rusko, datsik, excision, borgore, cookie monsta, etc, etc.
it's pretty confusing to watch all these kids going apeshit to music they really dont know that much about. and they go nuts to anything as long as it's half step tearout nonsense. you play anything that isn't and the crowd instantly goes dead.
luckily someone else is bringin Kode9 & Flying Lotus here this saturday, and I'm seriously excited for that.

anyway yeah, weird that all those guys are big in america. i never really got the sense that "breaking america" was a goal for UK producers in the same way it is for traditional bands etc.. maybe it is tho?
really?
sounds like a tune for turning off as soon as it comes on
yeah that's kind of the impression i got from briefly reading DSF.
is d&b big in america at all? was uk garage?
no direspect, cos i know there were plenty of north americans on dubstep from early, but i could never really understand why anyone would be into dubstep/grime etc if they weren't from UK. or actually from london. actually forget it, i'm just being a london snob..
