Classic Dubstep 2004-2007 - Vinyl Only Mix

[@WalksandSuch]

I'm from the U.S. When I was a freshman in college, I became really good friends with a british exchange student. He showed us two things mainly: dubstep and how to roll spliffs. For that year and summer, 2009-2010, we smoked and listened to dubstep everywhere and all day. back then, like no americans knew what dubstep was AT ALL, we were the only ones at my school playing it. eventually a 'version' of 'dubstep' got to the u.s. and some american artists made a really different interpretation of it. anyway, i'm glad i had those two years of magic where we discovered an awesome music genre.

[@davidperry4013]

I first heard of dubstep in 2009

I was buying dubstep vinyl from UK in 2007. Am american.

[@dopemopey]

I got into british dubstep in 2007 through a drum n bass forum. I'm an American as well, and I hate that Americans killed this sound.

[@fruitylerlups530]

@@dopemopey i mean the sound lived on and evolved, and some of the brostep stuff wasn't actually that bad! its just sad it got lumped in with dubstep, and thus i guess people who were inclined maybe towards techno and dubtech and early jungle who'd have adored the real dubstep never were inclined to explore dubstep because its name got associated with something different, something that was fun definitely for adolescent me... but not dubstep. Im glad to be discovered this in my mid 20s as someone who lost the opportunity to be exposed to it in her teen years.

[@ellieg7160]

I'm a 39 year old woman.....I thought dubstep was just for young english rudeboys off their head on ketamine but finally decided I should listen before I judge..sensibly went straight to an old skool mix since I enjoy a lot of drum and bass the 90s/2000s and what can I say.. this is really fucking good!!! Deep, dark and atmospheric..... thanks for posting this!

[@Luna-zw2fd]

I never understood how music genres are believed to be exclusively associated with a certain group or stereotype, isn't music taste very subjective and irrespective of drug activity or characteristics within society. I am a 30 year old woman now, this was my youth and still resonates with my soul, not to sound cheesy

as someone who only ever heard the brostep side of dubstep, this is like way better, it flows smoother and does not feel like your getting hit in the head with a sledge hammer every second, its not about the heavy drop, its about the whole song

[@k.c.simonsen2]

Yeah except the whole song is just boring. As a songwriter I cannot condone that anyone actually truly enjoys this, it's all to be accepted by the other hipsters and it was all started by one guy that dug it and everyone wanted to impress him by saying they dug it too. I don't believe anyone.

[@kandinskaya1925]

from the times when dubstep sounded more like dub and less like a machinegun.. call me old and nostalgic but i find really horrifying the direction the genre has evolved in.

[@gelatinous6915]

I agree. The drops for new dubstep sound like somebody put a hyper and a compresser on a fax machine. Eew

[@gelatinous6915]

2010s "dubstep" was when dub collided with garage, resulting in leads and drops along with almost pop-like vocals. Eventually, the vocals began to disappear leaving only leads and growls which somehow turned into a bunch of alien machinery noises

[@sueken22able]

Short statement: I love old and energy of the new dub however old is fuxking gold🤙🏾

[@LiamTems]

@the styx code that's true, but it's not an excessive amount, the rattattattattaa type, this is a few single rounds, it doesn't have it's own bassline when they "fire off", it is just a small effect in the song... :)

[@53Strat]

There is a whole new hybrid deep dubstep scene with fits so perfectly with the classic deep dubstep vibe. I hopped straight to it when I discovered that type of sound.

[@TheDJPCol]

It's got artists such as Distinct Motive, The Widdler, Khiva, Ternion Sound, Pushloop, and more who all contribute excellent Dubstep. Also listen to The Greys Ä, Roadsbeaf, B1t Crunch3r, and The Maker. There's plenty more than that, I use SoundCloud primarily if you follow them on there or look up similar you will find more.

I remember being on the bus going to work at 6am and this girl that looked like she slept past her alarm, was frantically doing her makeup heard the intro to request line, turned around and started dancing rocking back and forth like a mental patient in an insane asylum...... Turned around and widened her eyes at me touched my hand, grabbed her bag, sat next to me, reached across me, took my left earphone out to put in her left, then continued to do her makeup. We said not one word to each other and shared an entire scene and culture in silence. Her stop came then she left to go to work. Ive never seen her again since. There was no intimate connection we weren't about that vibe at all. It was just how it went. Exactly like that. Bless her soul. . . . Auckland City, New Zealand. 2007.

So at the ripe age of 45 I found a documentary about dubstep and thought what the hell, ill check it out. I always thought I hated dubstep but only just now found out I don’t like the new stuff. All the stuff I was listening to at the raves in early 2000’s that I thought was D-N-B and jungle was in part dubstep. Learn something new everyday. Fell in love with with the music all over again even in 2022. 👊🏽 Great mix man, love the tracks.

[@maryma333]

this style never went away its still going strong, just underground now like it always has been. The US pop dubstep just clouded the view...

[@kyleg4d]

Oh to have been living in London in the 2000's to experience this music evolution. Surely one of the last sounds to have been developed with true locality, before the internet made all music world wide. Grateful to the internet that I was able to hear this music in the mid-late 2000's, but imagine being there when it was all unfolding. Top mix too, mate!

London had grime emerging at the same time too. Dubstep was often referred to as 'south London grime.' there was a real crossover around 04/05

Most of the people here already had their fill of "new dubstep" when it when it came onto the scene, which is absolutely fine. Not everyone gets into the same stuff at the same time, I don't have room to shit on anyone that is just getting into something I knew a lot about ten years ago. My problem is when people want to act like none of this ever happened, or when people refuse to dig deeper into where their sounds came from for whatever reason. It's akin to willful ignorance and running entirely off of vibes and nothing else

I honestly don't understand why people are getting their hate boner about brostep and riddim. I listen to both this and excision, depending on my mood. I also listen to jazz and on the other side I enjoy hardstyle (if it is well produced). Just because one genre was hyped and the other was not, doesn't mean it is dead at all. No, for me it's the opposite. I really like underground genres. Hype isn't always good for a genre. The more hype the more commercial it gets. Classic dubstep is still existent today, artists like Commodo or Loefah are still making great stuff so why are people hating modern "dubstep"?
