dubstep around the globe ---- japan & u.s.a.





SINCE DUBSTEP is now a national institution, & it's only a matter of time before yr mother is wearing a t-shirt she bought from Peacocks with the word emblazoned in firey caps because she "really liked the font", or requesting Coki tracks in costa, it seems fit to have a trawl round the world (or in some cases, not at all) to have a look at what kind of bass has been broadswording dancefloors abroad. bare fia!

goth-trad is a favourite, taking his cues from skream and with generosity toward dub roots, as well as some neat programming and arpeggiated chip patterns. check "Itinerant Priest".

dj100mado (hyaku mado) is a promiser -- focusing on wirey leads & low subs a la Joker. very acidic in places. check "warp point" or "punish"

U.S.
A.

starkey is a well-known innovator of upbeat, vibrant, complex bass and willingness to incorporate other genres. do listen to "gutter music".

the widdler is possibly starkey's antithesis -- terribly, nightmarishly dark and sparse in "red rum", as well as the wubbishly awesome "froggy style".


more countries coming soon!
