Yeah, its been out for like a month.The_Crosby_Show;1204703 wrote:
I thought The Veldt just came out? What has he done that's been shit? His 4x4=12 album was great.
I thought 4x4=12 sucked for the most part. Nothing like his earlier stuff. He should stay far away from dubstep and chill it on the recycled electro...like Maths and that track he did w/ Wolfgang.

Can't watch right now but i'll check them out -a good dj is pretty impressive.
@crosby - yeah they're styles are way different, i could actually have the deadmou5 on in my house as background, i didn't mind it.

I'm known to dabble in some dubstep. It's not something I can listen to all day...but a few songs here and there is alright.

Is there a way to explain the definition of dubstep in layman's terms? I'm just not sure how to identify it.

Electronic music mixed with modulated bass, which is often amplified to the point that it's clipping. Occasional vocals.O-Trap;1204861 wrote:Is there a way to explain the definition of dubstep in layman's terms? I'm just not sure how to identify it.

Originated in England, usually 140bpm (beats per minute, the tempo), 2 step drum pattern, heavy bass breakdowns and sometimes wobble or distorted basslines.O-Trap;1204861 wrote:Is there a way to explain the definition of dubstep in layman's terms? I'm just not sure how to identify it.

I did, but much of it seemed difficult to put together. However, the definitions provided here offer a much better explanation.

Once you listen to it enough you'll notice the 1,2 pattern and the constant tempo.
That's what thing that bores me about it, the same speed. Makes it easy to mix though.

I love it. EDM is my favorite type of music right now. Although I can understand why people over 30 don't like it. It doesn't matter what decade it is; the older generation always seems to hate on the new music the younger generation gets into.
The best part about dubstep in particular is seeing it live. The atmosphere of concerts like Skrillex or Bassnectar are just nuts. I've never seen a crowd go more wild, especially when the "drop" comes. If you like to get your rage on, dubstep is where its at.
Coming from a current college student, I think it's amazing how much ground EDM (electronic dance music) has gained. My first couple years, all you would hear at parties and bars/clubs would be rap and top 40 stuff. Over the last year EDM seems to be more popular and you will hear more of that. It's definitely becoming the new music of the young generation.

Thank you internet and social media! I remember when I first got into trance (late 1999s). It was a task to find new DJs and tunes. I remember having to browse the overprice "imported" section of Sam Goody or Tower to find Tiesto's latest ISOS mix. Those were the days.
I didn't realize this many posters were into it. I like it all, but progressive and tech house are my favs. I need to get a mix recorded. I've been slacking bad.

Not sure what you are trying to argue here? I'm 23 myself, I still consider us part of the younger generation.The_Crosby_Show;1204967 wrote:I'm 21...
I also like all, not just dubstep. Right now I'm into the Dutch Hardstyle scene. I was very pumped that Q-dance brought their stuff to EDC this year. Hopefully this leads to events like Defqon.1 here in our country.It's growing faster than ever with no indication of dropping off.

I also like trance, house, progressive. And I also agree that EDM has not even hit the ceiling yet in terms of popularity. It's always been big in Europe, but these last two years its starting to come on in the US.

Festivals in general played a big part. WMC has always been around, but nothing like the scale that it is now. Now they are nationwide bringing in major cash.

I know a dude who says he's a dubstep DJ.
It pretty much proves my hypothesis that any dbag can get a best buy credit card, buy a Mac Book they can't afford, give themselves a gay name and say they're a DJ.

Despite being a joke in EDM, Guetta's song Imagine with Chris Brown sucks. If you just listen to Non Lyric version it's sick.

Not really into dubstep, but I have heard a couple of "dubstep" remixes of songs that are ok.

There's a difference between calling yourself a DJ and then going out and actually doing it for pay, but I'm sure you already knew that.Trueblue23;1205882 wrote:I know a dude who says he's a dubstep DJ.
