Not long ago, dubstep generally consisted of dignified, subbed-out productions that would nebulously emerge from UK producers, pop up on Mary Anne Hobbs’ radio show, and then be subsequently ignored by the general populace. Then, suddenly, it was everywhere. Blasting across subway aisles as tinny ringtones. Lurking in the productions of pop beasts like Britney. Filling massive arenas with people who want nothing more than to sweat and maybe see a dot onstage move his hands every four minutes. ‘Fuuuuuck youuuu, Skrillex!’ became the battle cry of those who remember a world without wobble.
I really have to say the music is completely different if you are listening loud and on a good system. This is the way of listening. It’s dedicated to Fabric, a present to this soundsystem.
