Burial

[BrotherLovesDub]

btw, before i beat this dead horse anymore, please listen to that mix i posted. that mix to me touches on dubstep but it's not a "dubstep" mix in my mind.

that's as a musical style, not hip-hop as a culture

a lot of people disagree with you. what was hip-hop before the first hip-hop records were made? what was dubstep before you heard about it? i presume neither existed.

i know most of those tracks and they're fantastic. i've heard plenty of dubstep/techno crossover mixes and to me they sound like both. don't you think that is possible? the point is that dubstep itself is more than you think it is, not that everyone should realize Burial is more than dubstep (which is frankly obvious yet not mutually exclusive).

talking about where things are going is more interesting than talking about what things are not.

find me a mix as good or better than the one i posted. i love that sound.

yeah, no shit. i tend to want fewer genre titles. i prefer to call everything electronic music and then describe it from there w/r/t tempo, lyrics or not, and atmosphere. i'm not a huge fan of Minimal this, micro that, IDM, breakcore etc. Fewer genres is what we need. That's why i'd like to not shove Burial into what is fast becoming a very stale genre.


before hip hop there was gil scott heron and the Last Poets. it was called either jazz fusion or soul music.

dubstep before i heard of it...well, there was no time that i didn't know about it but we called it sublow or just instrumental grime.

ZOMG. how can it be labelled both Breakbeat and Dubstep if the dubstep scene is vibing off it? someone call Discogs Moderator Hotline!

dubstep heads are vibing off that too. no mention of dubstep. so is T++ dubstep? it mixes with Dubstep and dubstep heads are diggin it/buying it/mixing it. so does that make it dubstep?

i had a v. good dubstep v techno mix that i deleted to save space. blogariddims 24 and 26 are excellent (esp 26). that one you posted has the best tracklist i've seen in a while, though.

you're very contradictory. on the one hand you want to do away with genres, on the other you use them to prove your unclear points.
