yes, but i have other things to do than talking about it... talking about the records i consider excellent/mindblowing/totally awesome, for instance

That was a totally mindblowing response, tre bien, tres magnifiques

I know, I know. But that's real, actually. I don't really like talking about music I do not enjoy (okay, I talk shit about The Mars Volta all the time but hey, it's mostly for fun), because I do not have a lot of things to say about them, and other people may enjoy them. Among 2010 albums I listened to, for instance, I found those Clipd Beaks, Mux Mool, MGMT (okay I hated the first one) records boring, and I was quite disappointed by Mi Ami's new one (though it may just be because I haven't listened to it enough). But I don't really feel like opening a thread about each of them to say "Yeah, I found them really boring". I prefer by far talking about things that actually excite me, that I want to share with other people.

Zomby - Spliff Dub (Rustie Remix) feels like a colony of 8-bit acid ants creeping their way into my ears up to my brain and slowly parasitizing every single nerve to induce euphoria

Okay it's not technically dubstep, but it definitely has dubstep elements, and this track is killing me right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F35lFyHfQk

Skream & Benga at Dour Festival on saturday was so awesome I nearly cried. Seriously.

5 Years Of Hyperdub, a 2 CD compilation, is a great introduction to the style, I feel.

no doubt

so many classics

That 5 years of hyperdub is one of the best compilations I've heard in yonks. This is all.

Yeah, it's simply perfect. There's no bad track on it, and most are fucking classics.

CMYK by James Blake is haunting me right now. Sooo good. Somewhere between Mount Kimbie, Burial and Scuba, I guess. Awesome track.

I know, right? It's unbelievable. It's the perfect compilation. Every listen yields new surprises. Right now I'm just fucking losing it to Darkstar's "Aidy's Girl is a Computer" and Zomby's "tarantula".

Been really into Zomby lately, period. Always catches me off guard..

I know there has been a few artists mentioned already.
But I just got this compilation and it rocks. Are there any albums from specific artists on here that are especially great? I have most of Zomby's stuff. And I got the new Ikonika. Anything else thats "must have"?

Everything King Midas Sound.

Also, Eskmo, Eprom, jazzsteppa, and durben are all really doing there thing right now.

Also, Flying Lotus' new shit is off the chaiiiiin.

Shackleton's mix for Mary Anne Hobbs show last night was maaaaaaaaad stuff. Hallucinatory waves. Incredible. Get it!

I really dn't know shit about dubset. I have a Burial album. I have a Field album. (That's dubstep right?) that's about it. I should check a compilation. Becuz I find the bulk of music really boring these days. I'd say there's been less than a dozen albums released this year that I even like.

is dubstep still in existence...shit that must be 18 months now is it????

It's more in existence than ever. Also, it has existed for nearly 10 years now, not 18 months...

Burial is indeed dubstep, but The Field is minimal techno (though he's really ace!). And yes, you should really get into dubstep, cause the amount of amazing records being released in that style is incredible (though there's also a fair load of crap - producers that believe that kicking some aggressive wobble and messing with the rhythm of it is enough to make a great tune.).
