From a grandads (not sure if I count at only 35) point of view, the
Dubstep sound kind of passed me by because I couldn't hear a massive
amount of originality in there. Don't get me wrong, I like some of it
a lot but it got hyped up as 'the new sound' a few years ago. Kind of
reminds me of getting into drum and bass when it started and thinking
it was a totally original sound, nowadays I still love the early D&B
but I realise how massively influenced it was by Detroit techno.
Still, it's nice to know that some of the local youth (I live in
Croydon) are indoors making tracks instead of out muggin' old ladies ;)

Haha big up all Granddads in the House . .
Id be interested in any old timers take on Dubstep production, how far
back would the influences go ? Would they include Detriot strings ?
Would they include 80's northern bass ? i.e. waiting for Pauls
material
to drop, any clues Martin ?

Seen lots of discussions about the Dubstep to UK garage/2 step
link. But
I always link Dubstep with Sheffields bleep'n'bass from the late 80's
and the 90's Berlin dub sound. But then again im 41 not 21 : )
True enough Rav, but you'll get the thousand yard stare if you
mention it, granddad :)
The biggest influence of Dubstep is EL-B, he produced some of the
darkest UK garage for a long time.
