Unfortunately, "hard and edgy" seems seems to be the requirement for
dubstep now.
However, I would recommend Benga's new album on Tempa, which is not
stuck in the aforementioned rut! He actually changes up the styles,
rhythms and moods. The album is really fun to listen and dance to and it
veers close enough to 2Step
I just picked up the Caspa and Rusko mix (Fabriclive37) and it is
enjoyable, as long as I don't scrutinize the tracks too much. Good to
dance to, not necessarily to sit and listen to. In some ways it has
that raw, early rave feel, where the squeeches and squelches manage to
work in a mix, but the tracks themselves probably wouldn't stand up if
you had to listen to them in their entirety.
I would consider Burial dubstep. His first album was like 2Step for
Goths. His second album was like dubstep for haunted ravers. He's soft
and hard and edgy and turgid and moist and chill and so much more...
I too have been "on dubstep's jock" (to quote Tom) somewhat lately, in
spite of myself.

So what defines dubstep? Hard and edgy? Firm and moist? Turgid?
Burial isn't really dubstep - it's too wet and soft

Weren't you raving about the last Burial album a few months back?
Wouldn't people call that dubstep?. Not that it matters, I think.
When it comes to 'dubstep' I do not like it more or less than any other
music - I just like good music. When you say you don't like dubstep, do
you have a particular sound or artist in mind? Or do you literally not
think much of a whole tranche of music much of which you won't have
heard? ;)
Personally, I can't get enough of Elemental & 3D - Blob at the moment.
Love it.

i still cant be less impressed with dubstep. it annoys me to no end
how much people are on its jock.
