Any dubsteppers around?
Know most of the Producers; need some DJ recs.

I just moved to the city and would be keen to get some live action, so I would also be interested in recommendations.

I think Subswara plays a monthly live show in the city.

Do you listen to Mary Anne Hobbs?

NYC I presume?
If so, Welcome!

Unfortunately I dont go out anymore, but I did do a rare outing with friends a couple of months back to see Skream live. It was great.

Some DJ's that I already listen to:
Benga (his production work is top notch too)
Skream
The Plastician
Youngsta
The Digital Mystics
Hatcha

Ive never heard anything by Mary but I literally just bought "Evangeline".

Thanks for the suggestions mentioned, I will check 'em out. My only experience with dubstep is Burial who is a dj in LDN. Dark and moody with that dubstep swagger. Or maybe the genre is 2 step, I really don't know the correct definition. Buts sounds good to me!

If youve just started, a MUST OWN is Benga's Diary of an Afro-Warrior.
Its excellent.
From there, move on to Skream...

Kwitel, Mary Anne Hobbs is (mostly) a DJ, she has a show on BBC Radio 1. She's played some really great stuff over the years. Linkage to her page with listen again to last show facility:

BBC - Radio 1 - Mary Anne Hobbs

Also, have a little search for 'Dubstep Warz', that was a special she did.

I don't feel that the albums with Mary Anne Hobbs' name on them does her mixes justice - her sets are much more versatile than 'her' CDs.

OT - Hunt for the single 'Dubversion/Mortal Bass' by Broken Note. Now THAT is some punishing dubstep.

Everything that I've heard that is classified as dubstep I've liked, but I haven't heard a whole lot.

I honestly don't know how to define it, so I'm never sure what exactly to look for (massive bass?)

For the sake of making a recommendation, albeit from a noob, I remember listening to an album by 2562 last year and liking it a lot, but I seem to have lost it in my HD crash. I don't remember what it was called.

SweetAdeline, if you want to get a huge resource of Dubstep, try Barefiles :: The first for Dubstep, Garage and Grime mixes .
That's where I get my daily fix of dubstep from

Just to name a few I really like:

YES

I am fairly new to this genre, but thoroughly enjoy what I have heard so far... mostly youtube stuff unfortunately. Not a whole lot of dubstep happening in Copenhagen...

Thanks for the great links xz123 !

Great to see some fans of dubstep here, in this sea of audiophile music lovers.

For ones who like their dubstep to be a bit over the top, I definitely recommend 16bit's Tokyo Set Menu Mix or this Ale Fillman vs. Aporia MIX

I love me a good thread revival.

Some of the new stuff ive been listening to lately:

Dj Youngsta-Dubstep Allstars Vol. 4 THIS IS AN EXCELLENT STARTER FOR NEWBIES AND A GREAT PROGRESSIVE SET OVERALL ("Blue Notez" has to be the most wicked track out now)
DJ Clever
Plastician
Digital Mystics

My dubstep tastes have been moving more towards the really slow, techy material, albeit with Reggae/DanceHall influences (hence my love for Benga).

Very exciting to watch this genre grow on a daily basis...

My HF-1's straight from an Onkyo receiver.
I need to feel the bass in my toes

Will have to look into her mixes; wasnt too into Evangeline.

The Bug - London Zoo - not dubstep per se, (hell, I don't know what really is), a-lot dancehall, dub..etc but part of the zeitgeist and friggin' dope. I'm completely, in love with that album right now.
