Wow, so it's finally happened. Just for those outside of the UK who aren't too familiar with ministry of sound, it's basically a club/record label combo that is well known over here for it's highly accessible and some might say commercialised dance music releases. Their compilations frequently make the tv adverts, billboards etc and span various electronic dance genres from Hed Kandi Funky House to Trance to shampoo commercial liquid dnb.

My intention here isn't to start another Dubstep buggering match, but for real could any of you guys invisage the Ministry of sound Breakcore smash hits compilation? What would it look like? And who would feature on it?

drop the lime.

Hah, yeah I saw a poster for this yesterday and considered the same thing; you could never imagine MoS releasing a breakcore compilation. Thank the amen gods that breakcore doesn't have the capability to be twisted and polished into something suitable for mass consumption by trend-followers.

I don't think this is a death knell for dubstep, but its credibility just took a knee in the bollocks.

I'm downloading this at the moment out of curiosity.. I'll give it a chance but if it's shit I'm coming back here to flame it.. If you never hear from me again then I'm a fag that likes Ministry Of Sound

I don't care to be honest! When I'm listening to Dubstep in my bedroom, I can feel it in my heart that I'm the only one and there is absolutely no one who relates to it as much as me.
Joking of course! The genre's constantly gone down hill, this was really predictable.
What I find funny is how it's driven a lot of its checked shirt, M-kat hoovering fan base away, due to the fact it's 'No longer underground'.

I dunno, when i'm out and about I still see a lot of trendy shirts and trucker caps. It's like i'm in Arizona with a bunch of Cambridge poshos. Dubstep talks to me.

dubstep stopped being dubstep like 2 years ago, especially after wonky showed up. now it's more like... i don't know, wobstep? brostep?
i wonder why it took so long though, i thought MOS were faster when it comes to trendy champagne music. (i like the MOS house-compilations though, and i'm gay for bassline)

remember dmz? remember the bug?pinch, toasty boy? ramadanman? i could go on with that for hours. THAT was dubstep. and even the nastier stuff like vex'd king cannibal or broken note still wasnt the fucking wobblefest we hear nowadays. excision? datsik? WHO THE FUCK ARE THOSE GUYS? why do their beats sound like copypasted shit with no attention to detail? why does it sound like slowed down faux-"hard" hiphop beats with farting robots on top of it? WHY HAS DUBSTEP TURNED INTO YOUTUBE-COMMENT COMPETITIONS?

seriously, fuck "dubstep".

So true, 2006 stuff was really good!
Dark sub bass driven, minimal music, but then it became about who can apply the most LFO to the Cutoff. I can't actually stand any of it anymore and as sad and pathetic as it is, the new stuff has really obscured my perception on the old stuff.

Also, I've heard alot of DJ's are just mixing it now because it's one of the easiest way's to get a local slot at clubs.

not only the dark stuff though, dont forget that ambience-laden stuff like hotflush records (especially toasty boy's "angel", still on heavy rotation here!) and the dubstep/techno-axis with guys like appleblim, scuba and the likes. that was really inventive stuff, with lots of love for little details! you really heard the effort put in it, with some tunes it took tons of listens to grasp every little detail.... i wouldnt have a problem with all that wobblefuckery if it weren't so damn cheap, i mean i'm by no means a producer ready to release a song yet but i always get the feeling with most dubstep songs that even *i* could've done it better!

Toasty was actually my favourite Dubstep producer, Like Sun is such a good track, he announced his was quitting producing Dubstep aswell, just as the scene went down hill, hopefully he's doing a new project, regardless off what it is, I bet it'll be sick...unless its Trance. But yeah fuck Dubstep.

i think its hilarious that there are all these haters of the new datsik/excision stuff. i know i'm a dumb american, but im honestly trying to understand how the hard "brostep" stuff is worse than the "true dubstep." I honestly couldnt give a shit about it until i heard datsik and excision, its not that the bug and ramadanman are bad, its just more minimal, just like how jungle was before harder shit like current value and tech itch and counterstrike came along.

i mean, i thought this was a forum for people who like harder forms of music. its not like excision or datsik are poorly produced or mixed (unlike boregore, who i cant stand) and its not like theyre that far removed from a lot of the "true dubstep." i think its mostly the new fanbase that the old brit snobs are getting mad at. as soon as college kids in the US like a form of music that makes it bad? come on, get your pretentious head out of your ass.

the same thing that happened to dnb is happening to dubstep now, except dubstep is more danceable. every music needs to grow and expand. there will always be room for the older, more minimal, less invasive forms of the music, just like how when zeppelin came along, plenty of people still listened to straight up old delta blues.
