Slightly too much wobble.
What I liked about 'old-school' (LOL) dubstep was the simplicity and the vibe.

Given the wobble though, 85-90BPM makes more sense than 70BPM, which sounds strange with highly energetic bass and lethargic beats.

Of course I'm biased as DnB was my first love, so...

That's what I mean by the older stuff.

The Bro-step/wobble, Boregore is the clownstep equivalent in the Dubstep scene.

I liked wobble, the first 100 times I heard it. The problem is it's too cliche. There are exceptions though. Like every time Noisia makes a dubstep tune. ;)

Word I feel ya, a lot of the cliche hip hop vocal samples (along with screechy sounds) randomly thrown in to dubstep gets really played out after a while, its so unoriginal. I like 2 or 3 of Borgore's songs, all his tunes on his album kinda sound the same though. Bro-step can be sick on the dance floor dont ya think? I LOVE dance floor tunes :). I hate it when DJ's play a set with the same old boring sound. In my opinion clown step is 100,000 times more worse then bro-step though, I cant hang with it at all :|. Barf to killer clown style drum and bass circus music. I hate hearing liquid funk at clubs too :| I feel weird dancing to it, maybe its too girly. I sound like such a hater right now, oops. Anyway on a more positive note- Im going out tonight :)!! Gonna see my man Bleed spin some heady dubstep tunes, TZR and Mar are throwing down too, looking forward to it! I will drink one for you guys...dude, I feel like I'm going off on an tangent right now, lol. Blah blah blah! Laters :).

I recognize that song from the 'sub focus' essential mix.

Here is a song from the Absolute MASTERS of Neurofunk: Noisia! They live in the same city as me so I've seen them about a thousand times live, never get's old.

And off course another favorite: Spor

Anyone remember these less well known Noisia tunes? 2005 was a great vintage.

It's funny how they managed to make made hoovers and amens sound completely fresh. The two minute dark ambient intro is neat too.

Noisia managing to make a gritty reese into a decent melody:
[youtube="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0Yvd6b1pU"]The Distance[/youtube]

And then there were all those Hustle Athletics and Drifter (loved the one which ripped off Debussy) tunes. Of course even with the release of their latest album, they're still getting shit for making too many non-DnB tunes, as if the DnB heads own them. LOL

Is anyone a fan of DJ Hidden? I think the ultra-dark stuff (or the metal equivalents) steps far too easily into the world of cheese. But his album "The Later After" steps oh so close without crossing the line.

(I wanted to post Straightjacket and 'As she laughed', but these were not on Youtube)

Or for something more chilled from an album I'm enjoying at the moment:

I'd really like to know what that string instrument is too...

Wow, you could well be right. I did expect it to be something from a central Asian country, given a few of the other songs on the album.

I haven't been able to find any youtube videos of anyone playing the lower notes on the regular sized instrument. But I found this performance of what appears to be an oversized gheychak.

I guess sooner or later someone was going to discuss acoustic instruments on this thread, that is merely the way of things on internet forums. ;)

The song I posted is the b-side from that EP, so yeah, I remember it.

This song's included in Panacea's Garagem Podcast Studio Mix.

Had a great weekend, it was my birthday yesterday as well. Mala was simply off the charts. Definitely a must-see if you get the chance. It's cool, cause he usually has slow and relaxing songs, but he sure as hell knows how to get some energy in the room.
