I like most of his tracks. He created what you'd call brostep.. more popular dubstep.
For haters, what can one say, no any music can be called as it "has no soul", it's a matter of taste.

Yes, some people have taste. Some do not. If you think "dubstep" is anything more than repetitive drivel you are on a drug I have not found yet.

And yes, I love good techno, house, electronic, etc. and have since Brian Eno and the first Moog pieces (many of those are crap too, btw). I haven't heard a single piece of music labeled "dubstep" that wasn't just Casio keyboard grade nonsense.

Someone enlighten me...or at least tell me what drug makes this "music" palatable. 8P

Sounds like he's created pre-recorded sets in Ableton for his shows.

Um, what kind of a MORON has his entire career and life's work on PCs that he isn't backing up or mirroring 24/7?!!!!

Oh wait...he's an Apple user. He doesn't even know how his computer works...

What dubstep has become is repetitive drivel for white, middle class, fratboys to pretend to be "wylin out" to!

And yes, I DJ using 2 laptops. If one dies, I can DJ off one. But I would NEVER EVER dream of using set playlists - that is the lamest thing I ever heard.

Moreover, drop of a hat I can switch back to dual CD decks, and if I have th full setup, vinyl (but my selection would be crap). He is not a DJ, he is a uy who turns up and presses play on stuff he prepared at home. A producer?

Doesn't James Blake consider himself dubstep? He sings and plays his sets with instruments. So, nice way to be a condescending dick to everyone in this thread who enjoy this type of music (not sure if I'd count myself in them).



Regarding the genre, it's mostly defined by the bpm and prominent bass lines, so anything goes, really. It's just that the more aggressive version made it's way to the mainstream, and that's about it. You can call it "brostep" and be a hipster about it, but it's still dubstep. And if you can't see any value in it, doesn't mean no one else does. As I said, Skrillex makes loud, aggressive music that doesn't take itself too seriously. Not sure why anyone would have a problem with that.

Not my cup of tea at all.

That song in the video was truly awful.

While I may have sounded dickish, I'm honestly waiting to hear something/anything called "dubstep" that was any good. If I've missed out, enlighten me!

No electric guitar, no interest.

[+Lingwo]

Couple of tracks of his are ok but most of his stuff is just a noise.
Isn't dubstep just make as many loud sounds as possible in the shortest possible time and then repeat for 3-5 minutes.

And who are you to say what's tasteless or not ? That would be the question. Dude's "repetitive drivel" is bumping on international speakers making $$$, where's yours. Someone might hate to death what you listen to, would that entitle them to call your definition of music tasteless and even worse call you things for listening to it ?

I know respectable people that work on TV and are big death metal fans (that "music" featuring all sorts of pig growling) and they do not kill people, or plan to.

never heard of him, but honestly from his name i thought this topic was about some medicinal drug ha

[Septimus]

Very good for the most part, some crap but quite rare. Do like Korn feat. Skrillex.

That sounds more like Ambient than Dub


I do get a kick out of most that hate on Dub/Dubstep have no clue what it sounds like

[nik louch]

Limit to your love is an awesome song, but in NO NO NO Way is it dubstep. Who would ever say that?
