Dubstep Is Dead

somejerk - dubstep is dead mix (dubstepisdead.com) by somejerk

Just wanted to share this mix with you all. What caught my eye was the title of the mix as well as the description that came along with it:

"Dubstep is dead." I really could not think of a more ridiculous yet true statement to pronounce. At a time where the genre’s style is oozing into just about every facet of commercial music, it’s undeniable influence is permeating the ears of the unknowing, yet there is debate as to the future, and current state, of the most interesting and revolutionary genre in dance music since jungle. Not that long ago, the “dub” element of dubstep was prominent; echos and delays paid tribute to the old days of blowing marijuana smoke into a microphone, getting the music high and, by proxy, the listener. Enjoying the space in between sounds, the effects and vibes that dub lovers lusted were eventually found in most forms of electronic music, and the DJ/sound system culture provided the template for selectors to come. Nowadays, anything that is at or near 140 BPM and has sub bass is considered to be “dubstep” and rarely utilizes the same use of space, bass and place. Where snares and voices would echo and reverb, distorted synths stab, and heavy drums pound, leaving barely any room for the listener to think. This is, I believe, a reflection of our times. Immersed in over-stimulation from the various forms of media that used to entertain us and now imprison us, we are subjected to a barrage of frequencies that confuse and numb us. The only escape, for some of us, is music, and I believe that this is what holds us all together, as an international community and as friends, and regardless of the sounds being played, the sound will continue to grow, evolve and piss off more people that “just don’t like it” or get it. Until a few months pass, and they too, will go from hater, to supporter, to attempting to capitalize on it. This is mix is by no means the headstone on the tomb of our beloved dubstep music, but I chose the tracks that were used for very particular reasons – I want people to understand, embrace and love the different strands of music that have stemmed from dubstep, and to understand that it is simply a permutation of bass music.

I agree and disagree. I can relate to the sentiments that some of the elements of what dubstep used to be is now fading away. But I also see that without any progression and developments we wouldn't have even gotten to what is now known as dubstep. I think this sentiment has been more evident in the hip-hop scene where its fans have divided into various camps representing hip-hop's multiple styles and subgenres. This is all useless at the end of the day, so just sit back, chill, and enjoy the tunes.

EaseYourMind X SLNGBNGrs

So yeah you will probably get sick of all the Blu posts I've been posting lately but I cant help it. Blu preformed the new song from the album NoYork, called EaseYourMind, in Portland. Eventhough its preformed by the band this melodic jazzy tune is produced by no other than Exile. To make this post more interesting I've just found that a new song as well has been leaked few hours ago. This one though is produced by DIBIA$E. Enjoy
