Serious - a lot of dubstep producers seem to have been raised in quite a
hermetic environment with limited influences - it's only now that
they've been made aware of other genres and the sound has converged with
other genres in some instances - Benga's latest material is very techno

Are you messing with me or are you serious?  I would assume that a guy
in the music producing industry would have seen at least one copy of
Sheet One or Musik.  Just my opinion.  I wasn't listening to dance music
when Sheet One came out, but I saw it in the stores and thought 'wow,
someone used a sheet of blotter as a cd cover.  Then, there was the
whole arrest of the kid that had the cd in his car when he was pulled
over in Arizona.  *shrug

RE: (313) what's in a name (was:venting/Something Simple, Miami)

2008-03-31 Thread Toby Frith
Most of the 1st wave of dubstep producers were centred around one shop, Big 
Apple Records in Croydon. They sold techno, and were closely associated with 
London techno night Lost, but it was UK garage that sold the most, and that's 
the big influence.

The thought that they're all fans of Basic Channel and Chain Reaction is 
misguided.

Re: (313) what's in a name (was:venting/Something Simple, Miami)

2008-03-31 Thread Ciaran Walsh
I agree with all this.  A couple of years back I wasted a bit of time
over at dubstepforum.com and the unwillingness of many posters back
then to listen beyond their genre was both laughable and depressing.
Two years on with all the cross-pollination that has occurred, those
ultra-partisan view seem especially absurd.  During one particularly
virulent thread where people were getting stuck into techno from all
angles, I got curious and PM'd one very big-name producer/dj within
the dubstep scene (who shall remain anonymous as the correspondence
was private), who was participating enthusiastically within the
thread, to ask whether he'd ever listened to any of the techno that
was being so noisily disparaged.  I even offered to lend him my copies
of a couple of techno cds that i though might be of interest,
especially from the perspective of different bass sounds.  He
responded almost straightaway (NB. I've had to edit this slightly to
protect the producer's identity):

2008-03-31 Thread robin


I was gong to reply to this earlier but was going to say that most of  
these producer's idea of techno is more Timbaland than Juan Atkins.


I'd have guessed at some DB, UK Garage and people like Dre/Timbaland/ 
Premier as influences to UK Dubstep producers.


Just a guess mind, but over here (UK) most young people view techno as  
of German original and most certainly not a music of black origin, as  
the MOBO awards neatly illustrate.

i personally generally get turned off by made up names that are in no
way referential to the artist. like a gimmick. although i guess record
sleeves or label names are gimmicks too.

In the actual drum n' bass scene, i totally agree with you.
But in dubstep, if you listen closely, putting the formulaic  
parachuters aside, you'll find influences of dub (of course) techno,  
oriental progressions, jazz, soul, various types of tribal  
percussions, dancehall and hip-hop.
If what you're really saying is that the majority of style followers  
take influences only of that style itself, i agree. It happens in all  
styles, including techno and house.
Due to their popularization as club music, the number of generic,  
functional and unexpressive tunes we can find, comming from techno  
and house areas, are like the number of grains of sand in a beach.

Re: (313) what's in a name (was:venting/Something Simple, Miami)

2008-03-28 Thread Kowalsky
Techno is one among many influences in the dubstep sound. I would not  
call the influence of techno second hand. Well it's an influence,  
not a copy/paste thing. Influences are not supposed to be identical,  
mimetic. Are supposed to be filtered, processed, and, sometimes,  
yes, distorted. I don't really know what techno should be. I know  
something concerning to what techno was, and is. Because it's surely  
more than i know of it.
I don't know if dubstep producers get their techno flavour from  
american or european techno. Probabaly from the european (minimal?)  
techno and from the uk hardcore techno and rave culture passing on  
seamlessly over and over. I don't think they took influences directly  
from the roots of detroit techno - most of these producers are kids.  
But the techno flavour is there, anyway. Blended in a dub modus  
operandi. Just listen to Geiom's Overnight Biscuits or to Digital  
Mysticz's Neverland.

Techno/electronic artists aren't known for their imagination - it's
always been a bugbear of mine - too many techno artists give 
themselves

predictable sci-fi name and track titles

We often can see producers, moved by trendy approaches, do bad music.  
This same trendy superficiality often results in choosing trendy names.
But it's not always true. It's just common. We have great wonderful  
records in not very well done or graphically interesting covers.  
Sometimes because the artist really don't care about it. It turns to  
be a secondary thing. Ok.
A good artist may imprint the same capabilities that makes him do  
good music in the making of a graphically interesting cover, or in  
choosing a non-stupid-trendy pseudonym. As i said, after agreeing  
with you, sometimes.

It's perfectly possible to qualify in the large majority of  
sequenced music producers of today.

What is ridiculous is your arrogance and your lack of argumentation.

No.
But sometimes the same reason that makes the music sound good  
is  the reason that makes the producer NOT choose a stupid name.
