fuck the purists Bassnectar is the shit. Seeing him next month i believe. WHO WANTS DRUGS lol
and i wish Skream came to the states more often

btw, isn't chipmusic inherently not cool and not trendy, simply cause it's nerdy? or is it ironically cool now?

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...

Most dubstep is boring though. Jahtari is not dubstep.

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.


massive monster monster fan, got the privelage of working with him a few times.

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. Anyway, whether you agree with my broad definition or not, here are some tracks that I really like. They may not be 100% polished but I will gladly pump them through a big PA any day of the week:

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 saw Ramadanman man DJ a while back. he was like giving it some over stuff that sounded like 2step gayrage from 10 years ago, but without basslines. it was pretty dull.

Yeah all that stuff. I know it's not dubstep in a typical sense, but it's derived from dubstep.That's what I meant by the whole diversity thing. From dubstep there have been all these new sounds that have began taking shape. I still listen to the more typical stuff tho.

Word up. That's the thing. I liked the days when the definition of dubstep was more loose. It came from dark garage kinda stuff, and half-step really only picked up around 2005, which sounds a bit like hiphop. It's kind of an amalgamation. Anywho, I'll have to take a listen to those tracks once 8bc is back up.
