Dubstep future?

by homiee • 20 Mar 2010, 16:50 • Journals
i'm getting the feeling dubstep will blow itself up in a few years/months, i mean tracks are getting heavier and heavier with just the focus on basslines and trying to be as filthy as possible. Also it's getting too much mainstream imo :(

what do you guys think?

i've never understood music like dubstep :ll:l it really sounds so annoying :/

I'm 100% procent sure there won't be any dubstep anymore in 1/2 years.

it just has no future for me at all.. tracks are almost all sounding the same

hope soon dubstep will die and neuro will go up up up because its just much more diverse and well theyre actually just good;.

without any jokes dubstep is the fastest and most progressive genre atm. dont pretend you know any about it if you dont.

maybe fact is i havent seen a intesting dnb review anywere.

How you mean review? imo you just have to explore all genres of dnb by just looking up some stuff like spor, encode&davip, jubei, loxy, dbridge

yes but thats a >dnb< forum, im talking about musicmagazines, who just report modern music, but not bound to any genre.

progressive? not really

i like it though.

Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 17:17
burial, joy orbison, zomby, darkstar, gold panda, actress, joker all doing unique stuff connected to dubstep. dont really know a genre with more progression atm.

fredd 20 Mar 2010, 17:26
i listened to some of the tracks you posted, in my sense of the definition, they're hardly even dubstep. more dub than dubstep really.
Parent
▼
Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 17:29
yes but if everything sounds like |dubstep| there wouldnt be any progression, they all have elements influenced from the dubstep scene.
Parent

fredd 20 Mar 2010, 17:32
i'm not too into the dubstep scene, so i wouldn't know

i like a few select artists like datsik and southbound hangers though
Parent

Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 17:37
thats the dubstep i dont like:P
Parent

FeedMe 20 Mar 2010, 17:39
really? I have respect for DatsiK cuz he's a decent producer and has releases on my favorite label (liftedmusic) but he just ruined Apex' song

If it evolves into more stuff like THIS then I'm happy with it. Actually what I like in dubstep is thoes heavy basslines that totally move your brain, so this kind of evolution is fine with me.
▼
Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 17:01
thats bullshit. dubstep evolving in venetian snares...
Parent
▼
TheDuck 20 Mar 2010, 17:03
The fact this song is made by VSnares is barely relevant in here. I just wanted to point out that I actually like the fact dubstep is getting heavier and darker, cause this shows how much potential it has when it comes to attracting listeners of heavy or even extreme music(like me).

Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 17:08
ah ok, but its not getting harder.
Parent

FeedMe 20 Mar 2010, 17:02
no no venetian snares are unique and are just perfect at what theyre doing

seeing them live after a few (10+) beers is just amazing
Parent
▼
TheDuck 20 Mar 2010, 17:04
Well you must've been severely drunk, cause Venetian Snares is actually just one guy.

FeedMe 20 Mar 2010, 17:06
I know :o but the name of the band is in multiple so thats why I said are i guess

last sentence sounds pretty stupid now haha

i think you missed everything;

wobble and hardsounding dubstep is mainstream, but the underground stuff is just awesome.

No, not rly...
The definition of mainstream dubstep is benga skream etc But I get what youre saying; people are starting to dig the rougher sound more and more - especially the ones that are new to the genre.

Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 18:03
yes, so the mainstream sound is hard & wobble wobble... like rusko caspa & benga.
Parent
▼
repjeee 20 Mar 2010, 18:40
Oh boy... you consider caspa, rusko or benga hard? Listen to shit like Shekel/c99 and get the word 'hard' redefined.
Parent
▼
Steven Seagal 20 Mar 2010, 18:47
can i have my own oppinion? compared to what i like benga caspa and rusko are hard.

dubstep has never been as diverse as now.. just the most tear-out tunes get the most attention cause they'll make the crowd move on the dancefloor.

saying dubstep will die just like that within a few months is plain ignorant. you can dislike a genre but it won't dissappear all of a sudden while it's more popular than ever now.

but yeh some are going mainstream, which is not always bad

wait 5 years and it will be known.

lol dubstep is not getting monotome. It is evolving. Dont think you know mala? joker etc. theyre making new ways of dubstep that NOT only about the bassline. Saying dubstep is dead in a year is the same as saying all dance music is dead in a year.
