Festivals aren't raves, burning man and a few concerts isn't a big rave scene. In London there are huge clubs that have huge dubstep nights every weekend, there are illegal warehouse raves and squat raves every weekend, smaller club nights that play dubstep everynight, the scene is the music and visa versa, dubstep is mostly a 18-25 year old thing y'all can't even go to a club til your 21!

LA as a city is about as conducive to a rave scene as Dubai, everything shuts at 2! Like I said I feel the west coast/american style is more geared to personal listening, the hip hop influences you described is part of that, from your point of view it makes it better because that makes it better to listen at home or in the car or more chilled out concerts etc but in context of what dubstep is about here I don't think many people do or would like it.

Lorin actually just did an extended EU tour

I could only imagine the shit they have set up over the big pond. I saw the Outlook lineup this year and would have LOVED to attend.

Over here our tradition (over 40 years now THANKYOU Dead, We love you Jerry!!) has been to go on tour. And so when electronic started coming around, we just brought it along with us!! :p ESPECIALLY Dubstep... Deadheads don't have much of a fondness for electronic, but they will wiggle some tail when Lorin comes on.

It just sort of naturally integrated into the infrastructure of events already occurring...almost re-fueled it. Provided some electric.

It's all bad ass really. Either way you look at it, you see that Dubstep has officially made it's presence known...and is not going anywhere in a hurry.

Speaking of the UK, anybody up here on D*monoid?

If not, ye should be. Plenty of dank US Dubstep on that UK website.

Just got EOTO's Miami White Room set off there, kicks ASSS! I think it's considered Holy Kimoto to be exact...cuz they played with Steve Kimock and Kyle Hollingsworth.

I have never seen such an orgy of good ass musicians bless our presence with FUCKIN' AMAZING Dubstep, these two combined with various other artists and producers make up something like 15 different Dubstep conglomerations, and about 10 more of other side projects...

Holy Kimoto White Room Miami set...its out there....and it gnarls the mind. Go fetch.

Major Lazer - Pon De Floor

Dunno if this is bass, but I saw these guys at Ultrafest after Bassnectar, and I must admit the live performance is impressive. Only thing the Marley brothers showed up for. Damian was walkin' around and Kymani was dancin' with his girl...it was really cool actually.

DeadMau5 came on main stage after....BUT EVERYONE LEFT!!! Lol. No wonder, no stage presence to speak of....and the music is even worse...maybe that's why he has to wear a big mouse head, which he wasn't that evening. I'm not sorry if anybody likes him....If you rat poor Rusko out for smoking a blunt backstage, you deserve to have people make fun of your music.
Take your treble loving ass elsewhere, this is the BASSheadz thread.

Jungle Riddim Productions

These guys came in from Cali for a little warehouse-and-camp-rave down here in the FLA called TouchBass...they have some Jungle djs and some Dubstep ones.

It was the first time I had seen anyone BOUNCE the needle on turntables. If you haven't seen it, seek it out. Talk about crazy BASS BWOMPS. The kick from the bass actually keeps the needle bouncing if you can believe that. True soundsystem culture.

Speaking of turntablism... Mix Master Mike, I saw him spin live when I saw the Beastie Boys. Fresh. He was BENDING records while they were on the turntable, and flinging records in his sneeze guard.

Or Dj Qbert....badass Turntablist. Wave Twisters.
