Seen both live!

I have to agree with you Canadian filth is amazing

 

[Zerkerfist]

>old fashioned dubstep
>Canadian Filth

pick one

I said "ol' fashioned Canadian filth", not "Old fashioned dubstep" and "Canadian filth." It was an expression, and what I was saying was that there is nothing better than some "Good old Canadian filth" in regards to some of the grimy ass artists we have here, to put it in layman's terms for those of you who have a hard time grasping that concept.

Derpppp. Think before posting next time.

 

[auron is emo]

Butch Clancy has some of the best remixes in dubstep I have ever heard. J-Rabbit is another good one, but hard to find on anything other than Soundcloud.

if you say Skrillex is mainstream... and then praise UKF's channel.. you're stupid.

UKF's tracks are decent at best. rarely any bangers. very generic tracks.

a good channel, which i highly recomend, is Epic Network Records.

Their music is more underground but very dope. they also upload other sub genres of EDM. (Dubstep/Electro/House) <-- majority



try these:
Zomboy
Porter Robinson
Datsik
Excision
Flux Pavilion
Bare Noize
Noisia
Downlink


**My iPod is 100% full. 99% are EDM tracks; you asked for dubstep so i listed the titles of artists/dj's/producers/WHATEVER.

HONESTLY: The best and my FAVORITE dubstep songs are singles off of the channel i mentioned above.

i would give you direct links but i'm at work haha :3 blocked on my comp...

hope i helped; enjoy the tunes!

TL;DR - Check out Epic Network Records on youtube for great Dubstep music along with other EDM.

He knows what he's talking about:

Flux Pavillion - Easily the best in my eyes
Zomboy - has some nice stuff
Cookie Monsta - Check out Riot or his prrvious stuff.
Datsik - well he's sick.
Bare Noise
Noisa
Modestep - Band is pretty good.
Knife Party - You know why i chose this.
Nero
Gemini
Skream - Roots of Dubstep. Not mainstream so you may not like.
Benga - Smack your bitch up.

That should be good to get you started.

I absolutely hate when someone says "Oh, I don't listen to _____, they're mainstream.."

Why does it matter if they're mainstream or not? If their music is good, who the fuck cares?

Also, Modestep actually IS a Dubstep BAND(I know it's been posted already), a pretty great one at that. Check out Sunlight. Great song with a great video.


UKFDubstep isn't too well with giving out great tracks.. I'm beginning to think they just post any Dubstep song by a famous producer once it's released..

If you want a good Dubstep channel, try InspectorDubplate, IEMDubstep, & VitalDubstep. They have some good stuff.

Anyway, on topic.

I'm a fan of ALL Dubstep, but I'm more into the more melodic tunes.. not the full-on bass & wobbles such as Excision & sometimes Datsik. Excision's "X Rated" is still one of my favorite tracks today.

If you're looking for the heavy bass/no melody artists, I really wouldn't be able to help you; I know a few but it's not my favorite.

As for my type of Dubstep, check out:
Borgore
SKisM
Porter Robinson(He only has one Dubstep song that I've heard(The State), but it's pretty good & I'm sure he'll make more)
Kill The Noise(Greatest drums & glitchy patterns I've ever heard)
Delta Heavy
Flux Pavilion
Doctor P
Noisia
Gemini(I prefer his Electro House, but some of his remixes are great)
Knife Party(Not EXACTLY Dubstep, but very very close, and very very great music)
Skrillex(Not exactly Dubstep, but close & really good(although he tends to make most of his tracks sound the same))
Caspa
Bar9
Cookie Monsta
Kill Sonik
Roksonix
12th Planet
Bare Noize
Boyz Noize
Nero
Flinch

Can't believe no one mentioned Borgore...


Those are some that just popped up in my head with a bit of reference to my library. But definitely check those out.

Also, if you aren't close-minded about EDM(Like I used to be), check out some Moombahton. It's similar to Dubstep, but slowed down.

Check out Dillon Francis or Alvin Risk.

Yeah I get what you mean but generally what I mean is that people where I live still bang on about fucking skrillex, he only has so many tracks that are decent, after hearing them a few times they get boring/annoying fast. I need some variety.

If you're looking for the heavy bass/no melody artists, I really wouldn't be able to help you; I know a few but it's not my favorite.

Yeah I'm into more of the articulate tracks, not just straight drops and that. They should accentuate the track, not be the focus of it.
