Sorry, didn't mean to sound snobbish, usually I hate when people try to break down genres and get all serious about music.
What I'm getting at is if you listen to producers from the London scene...from the early more purist ones like Pinch, Loefah, Kode9, etc...to the newer stuff that is taking in elements of techno or house...it seems like each artist offers a really unique, thought out sound. Ikonika kind of invented her own style, Burial did, Joker, etc etc
Versus, everytime I go to shows here that are dubstep all they wanna do is crank up the bass and loop a couple samples, like a variation on miami bass. Its like they never got past the most basic elements of it - wow, loud distorted bass! And it's sad if people think that is all there is to it because it's actually been a really interesting style of music over the past few years.
- Maybe it's like British people trying to make rap music:)ukit
