Presets on commerically avail synths have as long a history as samples so that point doesnt really run Both footwork and grime flip their palattes in quite unique ways, is the point, no matter how rinsed the sources. Feel free to not like it.

its a bit like complaining that grime uses cheap synth presets from fruity loops i.e. pointless

I like the lil jabba stuff but it sounds a bit too dubsteppy to me.

not really

Sorry for being bitchy. It's infectious. As a house fan, with little investment in the hardcore continuum, I'm not sure what all the handwringing about lack of innovation and producers taking over from DJing is about. For me things have rarely been so exciting.

:o:o:o Thats pretty stupid and typifies whats wrong with this place. If the statement is correct, does it really matter who says it? I know its mostly men in here, and when boys get together it gets competitive, but really, you lot seem so desperate to be down with the street. And really, were...

You populist Reynolds/Finney cheese drones are a right bunch of bitches aren't you. I just thought that bokbok quote was funny - surely not to be taken seriously.

No. He's a great DJ but his taste def isn't up everyone's street.

I haven't heard...

Before you lot get carried away, it should be said he played burial, older dubstep, grime, a couple of jackin bits, funky and a jungle track as well as the stuff discussed in this thread a DmZ. That's what he seems to do these days. I can see how that kind of Mix might not connect with some people.

What's with this Scottish obsession with this stuff?

??

yes, its true that I have to erase the word 'diplo' from my mind first but after that, i do musically enjoy most of it, authentic or not.

Ah, finally a thread I feel I can post in haha. I do find it pretty amusing how this stuff repulses people so much, even more so than brostep on dubstepforum which is ironic and hilarious. I was at DMZ on Saturday and I heard both styles in Kode9's set, some Lex Luger and that Usher...
