Fair enough mate, it's not for everyone but in saying that, one of the great things about dubstep is the sheer variety on offer (something I don't think a lot of people realise).Originally Posted by Hursticon
LOL, you don't want to hear what I think of the Pop industry then.
So a lot of Metal Heads like it do they? - Wow... I truly cannot understand why.
Well I've given it a listen dude and I've got to tell you that I'll stick with my 3 favourite Drum Machines:
I just don't get it, it's been played to death on Triple J of all stations (Oh how that station has plummeted since I last listened to radio... in '99) and much like Scott Pilgrim - It seems like this type of music is catered for today's ADHD generation.
Some artists focus on a very sub heavy sound, whereas others prefer the mid-frequency insanity like Skrillex, and then you'll get artists like Burial who create highly atmospheric works positively drenched in reverb. As a whole, the dubstep genre is all about experimentation and really makes its mark with otherwordly sounds generated by layering multiple bass lines, drum hits and then heavy use of effects such as delays, reverb, distortion, eq and so on. Not since IDM has a genre been so open for interepretation, and I absolutely love it.
I'm loving the chilled out dubstep tracks of Soundcloud artist Sphinxes at the moment, take a listen to this track - I bet you wouldn't imagine it was dubstep eh?
