All these tunes are 'available' thanks to boomnoise, deapoh et al. Only the best tracks get released so there isn't a backlog of half baked tracks as with other genres. I think that it is a good regulation on quality control. PS: Sorry for my poor English, I think sometimes I can't express what I want because of the language ![]() And yes, maybe he does it, but for the people who has been interested yet and following his work, the only thing he does is making the crowd lose interest on the track (at least that's what happens to me). Another problem comes when the dj/producer lets too much time deliberately to release a track, trying to build hype, as you say. The problem comes when a dj-set is only dubplate based, giving more significance to the unreleased status of the tune that to the tune itself. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the main reason for cutting dubplates was to use them in clashes, and I've never heard of a dubstep clash.īut I think the comparison with a rock band is not that right, in most underground electronic music the dj plays unreleased material to see the crowd's reaction (though not so excessively as in dubstep or D&B), I think that's not the problem. I dunno - maybe I'm way off the mark.Hurt me.īoomnoise wrote:i guess the problem lies in the fact that the commodification of music didn't really exist to such an extent in the music where the roots of dubplate culture can be found. Is this the label owners not sorting out details quick enough or Bleep being slack?Ĭhecked Dubstep allstars ages ago and it seems only are the tracks beginning to come out for the rest of the world to buy, play and mix. Between a rock and a dubplate album download#How easy is it to get your mitts on tracks - vinyl or otherwise? Could it be easier? Obviously financial constraints on the labels mean they don't want to risk over pressing a title (I've run a label in the past - I know how it works) but perhaps the public need to be engaged a bit more? How do you stop people grabbing shit of Soulseek or Limewire when they can't get it in the stores or download stores? Bleep are only offering very limited downloads - and no new shit is up there. Now I'm not saying dubstep is following but I've been speaking to a lot of people and though this healthy scene is emerging perhaps there needs to be more consideration for the punter here. Whilst that was great news for the big DJs (who you had to book to hear the freshest cuts - thus maintaining their status) I think as a DJ you got a bit frustrated. So, as a punter or bedroom DJ by the time you got your hands on the tracks to play out at your mate's bday party people were bored of 'em. Just when things were getting really interesting and we had the likes of Bukem on Kiss 100 you'd hear him and the other big cats playing tracks for sometimes up to a year before they saw the light of day. Maybe I'm wrong here but its reminding me of the drum and bass situation a few years ago (before d'n'b turned in to dance music for Mixmag readers and students) Anyone else think that tracks are taking too damn long to see general release? ![]()
