On the dubstep note:
Newfag dubstep sucks (mainly almost everything that comes after Datsik) I give you that.
But most of the first dubstep tracks are fucking sick (like 2005-2007)
Those artists (like early skream, digital mystikz, d1, bass clef, early n-type, loefah, early caspa, l-wizz, mrk1, scuba, shackleton, etc) did some pretty awesome things to dub, and explored the bass aspect of dub some more.
What I mean is, dub has a pretty standard bass (like the key feature in the music), but (original) dubstep tried to give that bass a bit more depth.
Examples:
Skream - Glamma
Digital Mystikz - I Wait
D1 - Wear The Crown
Bass Clef - Clapton Deep (don't youtube this shit, I don't know why but it's not the right version of the song, just download the entire album: 'a smile is a curve that straightens most things' (best album name ever, no?), you wont be disappointed)
N-Type - Envy
Loefah - Horror Show
Caspa - Rubber Chicken (first true wobble ever in the dubstep scene, and still one of the most epic ones)
L-Wizz - Girl Of Codeine City
MRK1- Slope
Scuba - Subaquecous
Shackleton - From Deep
... (if you want some more, just pm me)
I bolded the ones that are really listenworthy imo, and I just listened to scuba for the first time in a long time and forgot how fucking epic he is. Talk about spheric music.
This is the kind of dubstep I fell in love with early 2006, and the reason why I still keep listening today, to discover those gems between most of this newfagrubbish.
Also bear in mind that most of these tracks are meant to be played in mixes, so you'll rarely (if ever) hear the full version of the songs. That's what makes dubstep parties one of the most versatile musicparties I've ever went to.
But then again, ur american (amirite?), and 99.9% of american dubstep sucks.
Edit/ omg I just listened to that 'epic dubstep' song you posted, and you made me lol rly hard.
Makes me think of something I read somewhere. At a given point in the history of dubstep (enter Datsik, faggot canadian) there was a schism (epic song by tool): most of the artist jumped on the bandwagon of 'angry dubstep' (the one you like so much) cause, well lets face it, a lot of ppl are angry atm... But some kept true to the original mindset of dubstep, explore the bass in all its aspects.
The fact you classify 'angry dubstep' as the only good dubstep kinda says enough about ur personality (but then again, saying everyone who disagrees with u is wrong, kinda does as well...)
