am I one of a very few people who is actually appreciating Drum and Bass/Dubstep for what it actually is!?
The amount of times that i've come across a dnb tune (or a dubstep tune) on Youtube that's got about a hundred comments just saying "boring" or "what a pile of crap, i could do better in my sleep whilst shitting" (or whatever bullshit) pisses me off. There are loads of talented producers out there, signed or otherwise, that are making music that, whether i like it or not, i can apreciate. A perfect example:
PENDULUM. (BARE WITH ME BEFORE YOU SHUT DOWN AND STOP READING!)
Ok... I'm not a MASSIVE fan and they may have sold out a bit and they may be making music that isn't great now, but fucking hell... Bacteria Remix... that is one of the most hectic tunes ever! I have to hold back from dropping that in EVERY set i play and it still manages to creep in somehow!
Their first album was awsome. a bit mainstream but tbh... i havent heard anything with a level of production that manages to bring that same level of excitement! (whether the tunes are good or not, even though i like them anyway, is another matter)
There are some people around at the moment that are so fucking pretentious it pisses me off! pretending they know something about drum and bass just because they have heard of chase and status and then taking the piss out of anything that doesnt come near "end credits." (which i do like btw)
All the same argument for dubstep. Just replace Pendulum with Benga or Skream and you have the same argument!
Anyway... rant over...
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
