It's a bad sign when most of the new stuff that comes out is a remix of a pop tune, like the Ellie Goulding one above, or Skream's remix of La Roux. It's the beginning of a formula that ultimately ruins the scene.
Garage is kinda seen as a joke now, but in the early to mid nineties it was banging. Then came the cheesey pop remixes. And we all know what happened then.
I'm not trying to pretend that I know much about dubstep, 'cos I don't.

I have to agree and disagree here with you ukit. One one hand I am on the same page with the fact that the wob shit is nonsense. Easy to make, formulaic, and just boring as shit. It's one of the reasons I stopped listening to it (dubstep.fm, rinse etc), as it was just one shit song after another. After years of being involved with dubstep in seattle, where at one point it felt new and fun, and kids werent afraid to dance like no-one was watching, it was disappointing to see that the tunes people were screaming for rewinds and playing sounded so 1 dimensional it hurt. On the other hand, I still think there are some good stateside producers, although the sound is very different than uk yes? More hard edged, like the Shift, Rottun, and Trillbass shit. 12th Planet makes some funky stuff too, and is always well produced. Claw, now residing in NYC, has always been quality. There's good stuff out there, lots of bedroom producers. And although some of it sounds like uk rehash, most people are going to emulate the sound they like. It takes a while for people to carve out their own style.
- sry for the wall of text. Its late.egosmoke
- True...and it sounds like you know the underground scene stateside better than me maybeukit
- What I like about Borgore along w/ Raffertie, Reso, etc...is how it just goes completely over the topukit
- Whereas some of the harder stuff just sounds like slowed down techstep and plays it very safeukit
- Just my opinions though, your mileage may vary:)ukit
- Agreed. Although the face tear stuff like Borgore gets old fast too. Reso has always been great.egosmoke
- Some of the dnb sounding stuff I like, but not when its one drop with no changes.egosmoke
