The nu-metal/dubstep cross-over was brewing for a long time though wasn't it. I remember a post on here a few years back promoting The Truth (released some tunes on Deep Medi) and in the promo picture they looked like some nu-metal band.
I saw Jonathan Davis play at the Union Chapel once when I worked there, it would have been really funny if it hadn't been so depressing.
He did the whole gig sat in a huge gold throne in the middle of the stage
I wonder if Reynolds attitude to dubstep will change, given that its now such a hugely successful genre in America? I mean, from the little I've read about it Scrillex shows in America are attended by thousands of glow-stick waving, pilled up teenagers - it sounds like an American rebirth of rave thing. I mean, its 'importance' can't really be denied in terms of cultural influence/popularity. Of course, Reynolds has always seemed much more interested in wobble than in Digital Mystikz, Kode 9 etc.

I suppose this counts as some sort of endorsement

Haha. I noticed that, though first I thought it was Agent X.That's a pic of Dem 2
pretty sure reynolds is on record as saying he liked this kind of stuff because it's more faithful to the spirit of the 'nuum. which i don't really understand because i thought he classified nuum musics as more about a shared attitude than an aesthetic. what's the attitude of 'brostep'? impotent rage?
I think a lot of girls go now too (ironically more than at the beginning probably).I've never been to a dubstep gig in America but I've been led to believe that it's pretty much all aggressive moshpit music for angry young white males
can't find a source for this btw so i may have completely misrepresented his views
