Listened to Steal Drums by The Martin Brothers and never again imagined that anyone could put steel drums into a track and make it sound so damn good. What a class tune. Cheers Jamie XX
@sf18th That's the issue... most fans these days expect artists to repeat the work that made them popular until they fade away from whatever scene they inhabited. Unfortunately that's expected when there's a growing socio-emotional disconnect between people these days.
when you say "In a world of 'electronic' music..." do you suggest that there is no evolution at all in that world. I always considered 'electronic' to be as broad as 'rock' in the amount of sub-genres that they each contain.
Why is there a huge boring debate on why this needs to be put in a genre. It's been created to be listened to, not placed in a box. I couldn't care less, it could be "pop" and I would still have it on repeat.
@wetmyselftwice i think some people just can't see that it's a massive crossover track, combining elements of a fair few dance/alt genres. or theyre just getting pissy about which ones they are. my favourite part of the track has to be the breaking up xylophone sound
This is whatever we're going to call post-dubstep. 130bmp, featherpost, next dub, whatever. That's what this is if you give a shit about things like names and movements.
Dubstep bassline and sub bass, 2step beat, with some extra percussion. Fits the definition of dubstep pretty well IMO, although jaime xx is more often considered a "future garage" artist.
3. 2-step beats are more common to garage/future garage than dubstep, which more often than not (but not exclusively) uses a halftime beat. Moreso, dubstep is ALWAYS around 140bpm, this track is 127bpm.
So no, it DOES NOT "fit the definition of dubstep" at all.
At the core this is more garage n 2step like a lot of his other stuff. A lot of folk call it dubstep as it was dubstep that introduced em to these beats and the chopped up vocs.. but garage did it first. I dunno why people are so obsessed with pigeon-holing. If you like this check out more future garage stuff... Dubstep has already been commercially destroyed as everything is eventually.
@schizoidchimp shut the fuck up, there's lots of dubstep subgenres, dubstep isn't only 140BPM, you can make a 90BPM song and be dubstep, just because it has the dubstep essence
@weheartdubstep every 90bpm tune i've heard that noobs come and describe as "dubstep" has been breakbeat tunes with bass. why don't you post the name of that "90bpm dubstep tune" from loefah for me to hear, n00b, and btw just because it's loefah doesn't mean it's dubstep, in fact he's been on a house ting for a while now. so quit bitching and arguing, you don't have a fucking clue kid....
@JsRf13 it isn't dubstep at all but what would you expect? it has bass and people read about him on dubstep blogs, and they don't really know what "dubstep" is so for them this is "dubstep"
@JsRf13 no, a lot of dubstep has those characteristics but that's not what makes a tune "dubstep". there's a lot of dubstep without either. this tune isn't dubstep though
I met Jamie and the xx at Glastonbury this year, they were sooooo cool. this song is SO much more than incredible - fuck deadmaus and the rest of shitstep...
Why the fuck don't you people just stop arguing about what genre it is? I could not give a flying fuck whether it's Dubstep, Shitstep or whatever else. Simply enjoy the most beautiful beats in your life you'll ever perhaps hear.
The lyrics are actually:
I fell better when I,
I do feel better when I,
I feel better when I have you near me
Listen to the song with in-ear headphones and you'll see for yourself! :3
