I just played MRL and a couple of old DMZ 12s last week for the first time in many years, was nice to remember a time when there was an interesting new sound brewing.

The Skream album's probably the best of the albums that came out of that scene. I liked the Horsepower LPs too.

I used to be a dick ( and I probably still am ) and liked to say that dubstep went downhill after the second Horsepower album / Hatcha - dubstep allstars vol 1 ( still a favourite ) / and that Skream mixtape he plastered birdsong all over

The Youngsta 'Dubstep Allstars' was maybe the peak of that early halfstep sound. That and his Rinse sets.

Imagine driving around in your car in the dead of night, switching to Rinse just as 'Haunted' rolls in for the first time ever. I'd probably have driven into the fucking river.

there was a website that posted mp3s of rinse shows before rinse started doing it (maybe before Soundcloud), can't remember what it was called...something dubs? anyway, I used to DL Skream Stella Sessions, have 15-20 burned to cd-r. there was one where it was his birthday, he had a bunch of people in teh studio and everyone was smashed, pretty funny.

the very first time i ever read the word "dubstep", in this forum, my eyes rolled 180⁰ round in their sockets and i thought, i can't wait for this to blow over

in other words i remember people saying feel it in your chest plate, you have to hear it on a big system etc fair enough but listening to it on my hi fi should make me want to seek it out on this big system and it doesn't

edit - and if i have to smoke 10 ganjas to get it itll never happen

not to mention people saying i was there at plastic people watching a while new genre be invented

bass sound built the pyramids

but i still keep giving it another go. i made it 25 minutes into the first set on this link and i heard 1. a man starting and stopping some old reggae records not sure why 2. mc trying and failing to whip up any sense of excitement, feel it in your chest plate, 3. plodding one note bass pulse, not even a bassline tbh, against po faced drum plod

it would have benefited greatly from being more lively, more imaginative, more hyper and basically being grime

music that is just there for the sake of it

The 'you have to hear it live' thing was a cliche but also true

As I've said before that's why it's kind of died off after the fact (at least in my social group) cos it's not really party music and nobody's got the funktion 1 soundsystem in their flat required
