electronic Dubstep

quote James Blake

“When you talk to people from the UK, they say Canada and the US are all about noisy dubstep,” he said. “But I think that the only reason it’s like that is because Canada and the US haven’t really experienced good, deep dubstep on a big system. It was never introduced like that. So it’s really hard to get some of these big UK producers who started the genre over to the US, because kids have never heard of them.”

"I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers — who I can’t even be bothered naming — have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there’s this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It’s a million miles away from the ethos of it. It’s been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that’s not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I’m concerned."
