NEW DUBSTEP/GRIME MIXES!!!

Tune at 36ish minutes on the first mix is niiiice - understated and stuff.

However I just know that if I were to go to a night to hear that kind of thing, I'd hear two tunes I liked and they would have MC's going 'raa raa raa raa' over the top of them

fwd isn't too bad for that ..... the mcs are pretty low key and the sound system is amazing .. its the night after technicality tho ..

Definitely check FWD out. Go on a night when Hatcha or Youngsta are playing :)

just listened to the first mix, it's some crackin' stuff!! i thought it actually lived up to the hype. i kept getting flashbacks of being in 1996 and listening to tapes of coldcut and aphex twin and other assorted mid-'90s electronica that my friend hooked me up with, not so much in the drums and bass, but more in the atmosphere and the dry production.

if i were to make music like that, where would i find an audience for it?

A few London based labels I think - but they have a decent worldwide audience.

Have a look around duplate.net at some of the labels on there, like soulja, tempa and texture.

People you'd want to get stuff to would be DJ/producers like Hatcha, Youngsta, Mark One, Plasticman, Slaughter Mob, Oris Jay...

I got the second mix the other day... I thought the first twenty minutes of so were great, especially the tune that comes in around 10 minutes and the one that comes in around 13 minutes with the rhodes chords. But after that I began to drift off. The beat work was nice but hardly special, and aside from that it was all wobbley two note basslines (which worked quite well when there was more going on in the tune than just beats and bass) and none of the tunes had anything that distinguished them from the last. Definately the genre has potential, and the tunes I liked I really liked, so I'll go and check out more stuff for sure.

It's basically everything I liked about Roll Deep style grime with none of the annoying MC-led stripped down stuff.

ok, if you want a history of the beginning of uk garage, through to how the grime & dubstep scenes came about from it, it's all explained in this video interview from plasticman who was on the first grime compilation. it's a long interview and gives a nice little history lesson. i really enjoyed watching it, i recommend you check it out. enjoy!

'Red'

Round Sound!

Yeh Red E.P. Is nice. My fav on there is "Rank". I prefer the more recent releases tbh. The Loefah EP is great, all about "Life Dub" on that release.

You know I heard that Big Apple Records the shop has closed down :o Random or what ;/

rank ruuuuuuuuuuules.

red got me at first but the bass in rank is so badass.

i can't wait to check out these mixes...

Good good, as long as you have 10 tunes ready for me by the end of the week you will keep me happy.

i like the first mix a little better...

Ok here's another Dubstep mix, from the U.S. this time, recorded live from Sonar (I think).

Lots of dubstep dubplate business, as well as a few breaky things.

Enjoy...
