Not sure if any of you particularly care about the current Dubstep counter-movement. ???
But thought you might enjoy this complete bootleg (which I can deal with in this case!) remix of William Fitzsimmons by a well known remixer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQXhBY5hl1Q |

Sorry Simon - dubstep is not for me!

Conversely, I love Dubstep, but have no interest in Fitzsimmons.

Now that was interesting, and it gave my HD650s a good old work out in the bass frequencies. There is something very much to like about the remix, but I am not sure it would tranlate to well onto the speaker based system.
Thank you for the link Simon. |

Names enough to put me off, the sounds confirm it.

Agree any artist's name that contains vs. is unlikely to find its way in to my collection, as I immediately associate it with rap. |

Good to see we're all open minded

Why that comment? Lack of help I assume a negative one. The "dissenters" have said they (we) have listened and said "no not for me".Should we have to listen to every track before we make up our minds?  |

Having listened. Just different minded; very. |

No, we shouyldn't have to listen to every track to make up our minds. However, a comment such as 'vs. is unlikely to find its way in to my collection, as I immediately associate it with rap' does suggest an unwillingness to try a specific genre, suggesting close-mindedness. I enjoy the What Are You Listening To? thread, and have found some music I love from there, after trawling through pages and pages of Genesis/Pink Floyd, and happily leaving people to it. |

Well it certainly divides opinion!
The musical snob in me says I shouldn't like dubstep. Perhaps the more minimal stuff (like the Fitzsimmons remix) could have been made by any kid with a laptop. (the fact its a good Fitz song helps) But the remixers spearheading the genres commercial representation such as Rusko, Caspa and Nero I think are very clever indeed! And certainly deserve to be there. I find it fascinating! You've got major labels breaking bands and making them look independent off the success of remixes that diffuse through midnight radio into the mainstream. Its working for them, and in most cases, the remixes are far more interesting than the radio edits! The rise of Ellie Goulding is a perfect example. I feel that Dubstep, love it or hate it musically, is a breath of fresh air commercially! |

Forgive me but, if you love it then it may well be a breath of fresh air. If hated then it must be rather foul air, or at least a little pungent. |

Someone say the mighty word Dubstep...... OK so that was some of the more commercial edge of Dubstep but if you're up for a much deeper vibe check out the masters of the genre.

yes, musically! but its also a great marketing tool for those how have nothing to do with dubstep! it'll help music we might like, reach our ears (even if we don't like the remixes!)- dubstep has become so 'cool' that its brought remix culture back with it. Aside from subjectivity of the music itself! In my eyes, all exposure to new music is great, whether or not we decide we like it or not. And thanks Whizzkid. Thats a great lesson in grassroots Dubstep!!! I like the minimal stuff, but am most excited about the bigger productions that are following them. Its going to have a huge effect on pop production in the next two years. |
