The other side of the Spectrum

Yo guys, Its Nite here. I noticed that Mr. Brown just recently put up some filthy dubstep for you guys. Ahh the heavy bass, that filthy wobble, it just pumps you up, no? Well today im going to present to you another side to dubstep, most of you have never heard before.

We're going with some clean dubstep.

The band I'm presenting today is a UK Dubstep/Showtune producer named Pangaea, relatively old compared to the newer generation of dubstep producers out there. When making their dubstep, they take it to its very core,cleans up all the filth,and sends out a purified ambient type of dubstep very unique and different to the dubstep we usually associate with today.

Don't get mad though. The lack of filth pangaea brings is made up with their creative style and smooth tone. Its definitely chiller than Rusko or Caspa, but its just as good(if not, better, in my opinion)

Anyways, here are some of Pangaea's tracks:









Let me know what you guys think of them in the comments section.
Peace, Nite

Om Nom Nom...

Hi there,

Today I'm going to introduce you to Cookie Monsta...



This UK DUBstepper's tunes are so heavy, turning your bass all the way up causes trembles measuring 7 on the Richter Scale.

They give me all the necessary elements DUB should have, it is...

Wobbly:

Enjoy,

Simian Mobile Disco

Hey.

Okay guys, what happened? Out of the original big 4 acts that represent 'the golden age' of electro (That is to say, Justice, SMD, Digitalism and MSTRKRFT, between the years of 2005 - 2007), Simian Mobile Disco had so much potential. They had a great album, their live show was indeed live (read: not DJing) and their DJ mixes were fantastic.

So when I heard this -

Well.

Seriously though. This is just really fucking galling. Look, I wasn't crazy about Temporary Pleasure, but I did like it. It wasn't packed with exclusively brilliant tracks like Attack Decay Sustain Release was, but it most definitely had moments. But, just read the totally childish and woefully outdated writeup on the Boomkat website (which I pray to God is their own copy and not SMD's), because, um

-

"For the Boys Noize types there's 'Aspic' on the A-side with climactic rave synths and acid house beats."

"Beating out a proper minimalist tattoo with maximalist dub chamber FX making for a striking cut that should find a wide audience. Impressive!"

For the Boys Noize types? Climactic rave synths? First of all, what constitutes the abuse of the word 'rave' might be a topic for a whole different post, but let's get serious. Second of all, fuck off with your 'climactic rave synths'. Seriously.

Oh, that last quoted part was in reference to your desire for something a little darker.

Which is apparently minimal techno.

Anyway, here are the before and after examples.

Impressive!

Kraftwerk

Hey Everybody.

Taking things for granted. We've all done it. Some things are so ubiquitous and integral to our day to day lives, that it's depressingly easy to forget they're even there. Kraftwerk are like this. So much music - pop , electronic, dance, hip hop - owes so much to Kraftwerk.

So, if you haven't heard these:

You have a lot of explaining to do.
