Dubstep/Beats Thread

[Liu Kang]

I like both Dubstep and Brostep honestly and can dig some Mount Kimbie or Scuba as well as some Skism or some Datsik. But where do you draw the line ?
Is this when the half time feel is too exagerated and the song is basically a 70bpm track with too much emphasis on the kicks and snares ?
James Blake's Limit to your love : is this dubstep for yall and why (or why not) ?

James Blake's Limit to your love : is this dubstep for yall and why (or why not) ?

limit to your love is a perfect example of dubstep


dubstep conceptually doesn't have many constraints...its just sub bass driven music set at a tempo of 138-140bpm thats made for big soundsystems...the skys the limit with that and there are many examples of people pushing those boundaries and messing with bpms etc...tbh in the beginning there were no 'rules' as to how to make dubstep, and there still really isn't to some extent


but look don't get me wrong...there is good tearout around, kromestar and coki are two of my favourite producers

its more a case of good music vs bad music...that's all. Brostep 98% of the time is poorly made and lacks any structure/melodies/rhythm etc and the music being posted that others including myself protested at being posted was just bad music. Simple as. It's just poorly made.

And another thing in case people get it twisted, these two 'tearout' tracks below are as about as good as any other tracks are about as good as any other type of dubstep track. That's why me and frush were talking about quality. Not no 'tearout', just good music

man i could go on and on but what i'm getting at is that all these songs sound completely different from one another...but they all have a thread that links them. They're good pieces of music

 

[aRoMaN21]

It's not about 'not having an open ear,' it's honestly about all that shyt that you're posting being simple. Bad. If you listen to the drums of this bullshyt you posted - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJkjh1IH4Fg

...there's no texture to it at all. We heard shyt like that in 2007 and called it horrible back then, too. There's nothing new being brought to someone using VSTs to appeal to folks who just recognize that distorted bassline.

That's all that i'll say about it.

wow. Simple? Who gives a FUKKK. Its MUSIC. period.
give a little props for someone turning BEETHOVEN into that mix..
Get a clue yaga, please.

dubstep = dub + 2 step in general. boudaries have been stretchded... but brostep never has any dub, and might have a wee bit of 2 step/half step. the bass is mainly midranged shyt, and not low.

Whats a good blog/site to stay up on the newest dubstep? I like to workout to it.

Bass Clef album's out, Brackles album, too (don't know how to say it, but Brackles' shyt is a little strange? It's all upbeat pop-type shyt which is cool & fine, but it's not exactly what i was expecting after playing a gang of his twelves for years and shyt). Those dudes Black Orange Juice have a dope EP out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL29NN8UB80). Funky tip. The A is like 0:35 to 1:30 on this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsL8n17z94M "Back of My Car." Dun Dun is like my favorite twelve this year, though. When that Bass starts hitting in like the first minute or whatever it's curtains, lol. Love that shyt.

 

[Majestyx]

kicked it with one half of truth last night. cool man and he dropped mad dubs. that like a bird vip is tough. made him rewind a few tings.
