OK, so redneck is pejorative term connoting backwardness in USA but roughneck, though it started the same, is now part of rudeboy/raggamuffin/slack posturing in JA and can be positive...?
Edit - Totally wrong thread - sorry!

About halfway in and really enjoying it, despite recently wondering if deep is another word for boring... Some of this stuff (presumably the remixes by T++, Dettmann etc.) seems much more on the techno side of things rather than on the dubstep side. But it's all interesting and has a vibe about it... the Mount Kimbie tune is a bit mad on the low-down too.

i can't see how it can be anyone else. liquid dancehall, strange fruit, the lie, rumours and revelations, bubble bobble, mu5h, everything on the hyperdub ep, and a full-length album. fuck off.
yeah. like if digidesign and electric sea came out maybe he'd be up there. i heard something quite promising regarding a joker album deal, but it might just be hearsay so i'm saying nothing.
it's been such a good year for (relatively) new producers though. zomby, rustie, joker, ikonika, mike slott, flylo, starkey album, gemmy... i think toddla t is fucking amazing too- i can see his album next year being unreal. maniac has made some great tunes this year too.

I think it's a measure of what a good year it's been is that, despite buying rather a lot of dubstep this year, I haven't bought any Zomby. And he's one of the best producers of the year! Admittedly I've bought far too many old El B and grime record this year, but even so... there's been a LOAD of really really REALLY good records this year. Like 99-era 2step - loads of superb, mixable records from loads of producers.
(But maybe not many actually GREAT records?)
Yup.
I've bought less this year for sure but its made up for by the next wave of people whose stuff i've been sent which blows me away.
plus 'polka dot'!!!! who's heard this?

Good to see someone else with strong feelings for Electric Sea. My every reply to a Joker thread on dsf is basically ''When is Electric Sea coming out?'' (or ''Are you really funny like wot a joker is?'')
I think its true that while a lot of good records have come out this year, there haven't been that many great ones. On the other hand perhaps its just a matter of dubstep releases reaching saturation point - so even the great tunes are somewhat... weakened by association.
Obviously a great year for Martyn and Anti Social too.
i think it's being (female) vocaled Corps. or maybe that was Early Morning. one of the two.
Like Zomby, Joker's had an insane year: Gully Brook Lane, Holly Brook Park, Snake Eater, Do It, There She Goes, Digidesign, Dead End, Early Morning, Electric Sea, Play Doe... r u dumble?

Is that really the case? Or is it just that there's a great deal of good stuff coming out now - and the good stuff is coming out more from a semi-coherent bunch of producers and less from isolated individuals and small labels - and so less of it sticks out as being one great record in a sea of dross? Compared to 2007, for instance, I think it might take another year or so to really settle on what this year's absolute classics were...
