Check out the dubstep comp's on Planet Mu and Soul Jazz record's. Also, the Rinsefm mix cd's are pretty decent.

thanks jimbrim. i was gonna list all those folks and take charge as the american with the best knowledge of dubstep artists, but now i don't have anyone to list.

just thanks.

[jimbrim]

Sorry val! you could of mentioned Scuba, but now you've missed you're chance.

Are there any american dubstep artists?

[ZEROpumpkins]

Heard Skream on the radio this morning. Brilliant!

there were some sites that you could download old rinse fm sets from, not sure if they're still up though, will check when not at work. the radio sets are the best things in my opinion, n-type always has hilarious weird chat, and also you can get one off stuff, like when wiley was guest MC on kode9's show

i haven't heard of any, but i wouldn't be surprised if they started popping up.

then again, that'd be like an american grime artist. i don't know if that's possible outside the scope of the uk.

[cellscape]

I do like Pinch.

I agree...
skream
benga
distance
and of course buril are my favourites.

What's the best reviewed dubstep record, besides Burial's full lengths?

[davenotdead]

Quarta330 does 'gameboy dubstep'. its hot. 8-bit/chiptunes/whatever with dub inclinations.

[uhler]

what the hell is dubstep?

[Derek]

Personally I've always thought dubstep wasn't really worth the praise.

this is true for EVERY "genre" in music. Artists in each "genre" may be worth the praise, though.

[demonrail666]

Skream are about the only ones i tend to listen to consistently.

Skream's 'Skreamizm' series gained a lot of praise and popularity over the years, so they're probably a good introduction to the genre.

I've been listening to Goth-Trad a lot recently.

lol, some of the biggest tunes ever made are by american artists like matty g for example, not to mention how many killers have come from sweden and finland

as far as american grime, of course it can't really exist because grime is a ripoff of american genres hiphop and garage, and dubstep is a sub genre of garage...and garage started in new york and chicago, so what i'm getting at basically is that the ukcentric attitude is ridiculous and you clearly haven't been following the scene because there's been plenty of non uk artists making hits for years

[nicfit]

and the second full length by burial is lame. hah.
And even if it's not dubstep Robert Logan's Cognessence is great.
