Damn, you guys are cynical. I've heard some pretty diverse dubstep n the past few years. You do have to look for it tho. It's not all wubwubwubwub. Anyhow I like that ??? Guy. Someone posted a good one here a while ago too...Anyone like ikonica? She's does some good fake bit, some not so good.

I really like Monster! Monster!, I actually bought the physical copy of his latest single, and I don't do that often. That being said, dubstep is not my cup of tea and I do not listen to it regularly.

Yep, Bassnectar puts on the best shows.  I like is stuff way more than "real" dubstep.  I saw him at a couple of All Goods, and his was the only decent show at one of them, unless you are into listening to surviving members of the Grateful Dead.

Bassnectar is real dubstep. There's just a backlash against mid-range basslines. I like the shit out of Nero. More often though I listen to stuff like on Hotflush. Anyway...

liiike Mount Kimbie Scuba and Ramadanman? i wouldn't call them dubstep myself but i love their sound. i guess if you had to you could say it was 'clean' dubstep or something stupid like that. Nero had some great tunes, pretty much the only trance flavored music i would ever listen to.

Ah Cartoon Bomb, i have friends who go to All Good like every year, never went myself, was never into the whole acoustic stoner jam band scene. Bassnectar is very awesome though, his music doesn't exactly fit into any one category which is nice.

I've been scouring 8bc for chiptune dubstep tracks for a while and I've come across a handful of gems amongst some uninspired i-can-has-wubwub. As far as non-chip dubstep goes I find that it's talented producers from outside the dubstep scene who do the stuff that interests me the most... Like Cardopusher who started as a breakcore guy or people like Doshy who was making more clubby electronic tracks... and some of the squee / wonky / bassline / brokenbeat / insert flavor-of-the-month sub-genre name here people like pixelord, slugabed, robot koch, neil landstrumm, eprom etc. I also HIGHLY recommend checking out NastyNasty or NitGrit on soundcloud.

In my mind all this stuff is dubstep - It's just progressed beyond the initial template and or cross pollinated with other genres like most of my favourite music does.
