Everything Dissensus-y released in 2009?

Hi All,

I'm working on a project which involves compiling Spotify playlists of the dubstep/bass music/"breakbeat continuum"-ish music from 2009, by month, and I'm wondering if there are any resources we're missing that would make the job easier. Some things we've tried:

1) thinking about it and googling our fave artists - we were both listening to a lot of it at the time
2) looking at yearly best-ofs and dj charts at the time: Bleep, Juno, Boomkat, Pitchfork, whatever.

In practice it means a lot of Untold/Hot Flush/James Blake, which is fine, they're great, but it's not the full picture. Also it's often hard to know what month things were released.

What would be ideal would be weekly New Release newsletters from Bleep, Juno (just the dubstep-related sections), Boomkat or the like and we could just go through all 52 weeks in a few hours, like the nerds that we are.

Does anybody have any suggestions for finding this kind of info? Sadly I've long since deleted those emails from my inbox....

Thanks!
Matthew

You tried emailing Bleep, Juno and Boomkat? They might have them archived. You could also look through the news and review sections of Resident Advisor and cross-reference the dates with Discogs.

I actually did a search to find the rolling dubstep thread for you to trawl, and theres 10 pages of threads with dubstep in the title! 😱

This is, I think, all the (original era) uk funky available on Spotify fwiw - nowhere near definitive of course cos so much never came out or made it to streaming - 7hrs 19 mins long

2009 was probably the year dissensus turned on dubstep and it became a dirty word, and then all the dubstep fans left. 2010 maybe.

Was 2009 also around the time when dubstepforum shut down and suddenly about 50 of em turned up here for a while until it opened again?

I hadn't emailed them - I figured they'd ignore it - but probably worth a try. RA reviews I hadn't thought of but that's a really good suggestion.
