Re: Burial
 

is any song with 2step rhythms, spooky atmosphere and basslines stolen from Rave/DnB considered Dubstep?

i'd say Burial is more of an Ambient Techno producer than anything else on this new album.

i've heard Techno DJ's play the theme song from Star Wars, does that make the theme from Star Wars a techno song?

i've heard dubstep dj's play Basic Channel (see the above mix), does that make Basic Channel Dubstep?

and no, i don't consider Horsepower to be dubstep. an influence on dubstep, and perhaps proto-dubstep, but not dubstep.

Re: Burial
 

you're the one stuck with music mag terms. you want to just place him in the dubstep section and move on. this music is more than dubstep. it has the same reference points as some dubstep but it's not dubstep in my book.

Re: Burial
 

i'm not sure what part of this is not getting through. those things combined, and more, are considered dubstep if a) the dubstep scene vibes off it; and b) there is no b. i like how you're trying to spin that as a narrow-minded definition, but it's actually the opposite.

Re: Burial
 

that is really silly and pretentious.

Re: Burial
 

oh my god.

do you see what you just did in that post?

1. you accuse me of having a dubstep box.

2. you create your own idea of a dubstep box that Burial doesn't belong in.

please give some thought to yourself k thx bye.

Re: Burial
 

ok, now define hip-hop.

rhyming lyrics to a beat. appx. 70-100 bpm.

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