Bassnectar Explains Dubstep (in under 3 minutes)

***I have swapped the original audio of Bassnectar talking for the most random audio I could find. Unfortunately the copyright holder of the original audio will not allow this video to use it. Considering I contacted them right at the start and offered them any revenue from this video, and this video served as a giant ad for their content, I find this silly and counterproductive. But they apparently want to stifle even non-commercial creative collaboration (I never made a cent from this video) and resorted to threatening to sue me, so this is the result. Sorry***

Bassnectar laying out the dubstep musical family tree.
My first try making kinetic typography (with some help from prezi).

Lorin (Bassnectar) has said he liked the video, but also added this comment: "This was recorded off the cuff back in 2007. If it was today i'd be more clear about certain points. Also I disagree with some of what i said here, but mostly the main point is that Tempo, Beat Structure, and Sound Design all play a part in defining what a genre is. That said, these days the term "dubstep" seems to mean different things to different people. Id rather not even define 'dubstep' - too inflammatory."

1) Mute this video and remove the apology by kdynamic. Skip to 0:07

2) Open another tab and load the original interview on Youtube. Skip to 1:03 /watch?v=BFLe3MEDwv4

3) Prof.. I mean, enjoy.

Why? Bassnectar wouldn't be the copyright holder for that interview but it would be the interviewers. Don't go blaming the wrong people now.

[Uriel Salas]

It depends who's idea was to make the interview, people pay to be interviewed as well.

I redid the audiopart

Let's see if it stays that way.

Threatening to sue for something like this is so old school. These days synergy is king. I would jump for joy if someone advanced something I made by creating a video like this for free. All I would ask for is credit for my part and maybe a link to the original... Some people just don't get it. What a missed opportunity.

may i know where to find this song?

[Thygnus]

And just pause/play this video whenever it gets out of sync :)

[Thygnus]

Just mute this video, pause it at 00:07. Then click this link : /watch?v=BFLe3MEDwv4&t=1m03s and hit play on this video again, watching this one and listening to the other :

BOOM the original is back !

[Wade Beesley]

Sucky. That's C3 for you!

[danieltulalian]

So dubstep is slower and that's what giving it the heavy feeling?
