Dubstep is Dead

I thought i'd title this article 'Dubstep is Dead' purely to get your attention...but I'm starting to question that sinking feeling everytime another 'Wup Wup Wup' dirrrrty (extra r's intended) tune comes out, or the latest dull remix of the latest pop track hits every club and receives the same reaction of sweaty idiots on Mephadrone shouting "Yeah man this is sick/harsh/raw/big, it sounds just like Borgore......". I'm starting to wonder if this sinking feeling is me falling out of love with Dubstep...whether this is the end of my beautiful relationship with the genre, a relationship which gave me something new to dance to and not shut up about.



I don't think this is quite the end for me, or the genre. But i do think that something has to change. As dubstep gets bigger and more global, as it rightfully should, I think there's a need for evolution.

This evolution is already here, in the form of Appleblim records, Joy Orbison, Mount Kimbie, and all of the other producers and labels who are pushing forward musically and are already gaining recognition, most notably from Mary-Anne Hobbes. This new sound combines the 2-step and bass sounds of dubstep but twists and turns into something completely unrecognisable and different, and to be around when it's being produced is extremely exciting. For me anyway...

This sort of music has been around for a while, but I hope it's around for a while longer, even if what they're pushing forth into musically is fucking difficult for anybody to put into a genre.

If you want more from your dubstep and/or want me to shut up, you can check out this blog in the future, or simply cut out the middle man and look at these links

Geiom , Pearson Sound , Mount Kimbie , Joy Orbison , 2562 , Flying Lotus , Kode9
Enough Links.

Hopefully soon this sort of music is what all dubstep producers will see as the future and all the fake dirty gangsters can shut the fuck up. But as it's such a new genre, I think it'll be a while.
