Mad 10yrs today we played our first ever @SecretGardenHQโฆ.had to leave on the sat to play @KOKOLondon then back down to SGP to watch @ANDYC_ram close on Sunday. Good craic!
When Dubstep gained traction in the UK, it was moving, innovative, fluent. It allowed fans of different genres to connect, dance, garage, reggae, dnb, metal fans. Dubstep changed the face of how parties and festivals are programmed all over the world.
What I (O) meant by my earlier tweet was - yeah, we all (or should) know the musical origins of dubstep, garage, Apple records etc, but thereโs less focus on the real global impact that followed, the genres birthed, the subcultural shifts. Mindsets, fashion.
I grew up caning around in transit vans rinsing telepathy tape packs. If you listened to Dnb, you were welded to the sub culture. Fashion, social life, things were more tribal. You couldnโt wear jewellery to raves, esp coronet or anywhere in kings X.
Did everyone catch this one? Kind of snuck under the radar a bit but hey thatโs what happens when ur old and donโt understand computers anymore. @Clockvice murked it as always tho.
Generally Iโd say the music industry is a self absorbed; self destructive, narcissistic, cut throat, back stabbing den of cunts, but it can be fucking fun sometimes.
Pls pls if you have any footage of us chilling or playing or hanging in any of the hundreds of places weโve been together, please send them to us so we add them into memories. The next shows are about YOU ๐๐ธโค๏ธ๐ฅฐ
Going <to the thread, a more nuanced take from a producers POV takes into account the influence of the NukEm EP in the race to create the most original growl. Skrill being able (for whatever reasons) to create those crazy FM growls, at that time, led largely to his success.
The 2009-2014 UK/USA real dubstep peak period needs a documentary. Every doc Iโve seen so far generally comes from the fanโ last or anhwneral cultural impact POV. Thereโs so many crazies stories (good and bad) that shaped this world that have never been been addressed.
Any1 got any on road @barenolze picture/memories/anicdotes/memories? We wanna include as much nostalgia into the new tour ur as poss๐ If youโre active in video sync and fancy curating something special then pls hit up the DMs. Big props to all u dons in advance ๐ช๐ช
