Classic Dubstep 2004-2007 - Vinyl Only Mix
Музыка
A vinyl only Dubstep mix I recorded containing a selection of classic tunes from the genre's early days. I wasn't really going for great blends or trying to build up the energy level. Think of this as mainly a showcase of some of my favorite tunes from an incredible time in music history.
Tracklist:
Skream - Midnight Request Line (Tempa - 2005)
Toasty - Like Sun (Hotflush Recordings - 2004)
Gatekeeper - Tomb (Skull Disco - 2006)
Loefah - Rufage (DMZ - 2006)
Distance - Empire (Hotflush Recordings - 2005)
Mala - Lean Forward (DMZ - 2007)
Cyrus - Bounty (Tectonic - 2006)
Loefah & Skream - 28g (Tectonic - 2005)
Loefah - The Goat Stare (DMZ - 2005)
Distance - Dark Crystal (Boka - 2005)
Shackleton - Blood On My Hands (Skull Disco - 2006)
Kromestar - Marz Attak (Deep Medi Musik - 2007)
Mala - Changes (Deep Medi Musik - 2007)
Digital Mystikz - Misty Winter (Soul Jazz - 2006)
Coki - The End (DMZ - 2007)
Mala - Forgive (Deep Medi Musik - 2007)
I'd love to make this more of a regular thing. What do you guys think?

I'm from the U.S. When I was a freshman in college, I became really good friends with a british exchange student. He showed us two things mainly: dubstep and how to roll spliffs. For that year and summer, 2009-2010, we smoked and listened to dubstep everywhere and all day. back then, like no americans knew what dubstep was AT ALL, we were the only ones at my school playing it. eventually a 'version' of 'dubstep' got to the u.s. and some american artists made a really different interpretation of it. anyway, i'm glad i had those two years of magic where we discovered an awesome music genre.

@@dopemopey i mean the sound lived on and evolved, and some of the brostep stuff wasn't actually that bad! its just sad it got lumped in with dubstep, and thus i guess people who were inclined maybe towards techno and dubtech and early jungle who'd have adored the real dubstep never were inclined to explore dubstep because its name got associated with something different, something that was fun definitely for adolescent me... but not dubstep. Im glad to be discovered this in my mid 20s as someone who lost the opportunity to be exposed to it in her teen years.
I'm a 39 year old woman.....I thought dubstep was just for young english rudeboys off their head on ketamine but finally decided I should listen before I judge..sensibly went straight to an old skool mix since I enjoy a lot of drum and bass the 90s/2000s and what can I say.. this is really fucking good!!! Deep, dark and atmospheric..... thanks for posting this!

I never understood how music genres are believed to be exclusively associated with a certain group or stereotype, isn't music taste very subjective and irrespective of drug activity or characteristics within society.

the thing is that most of the tunes played in the video are from the times you were 20-22, I'm 38 now, and listened to all those bangers almost from day one
I remember being on the bus going to work at 6am and this girl that looked like she slept past her alarm, was frantically doing her makeup heard the intro to request line, turned around and started dancing rocking back and forth like a mental patient in an insane asylum...... Turned around and widened her eyes at me touched my hand, grabbed her bag, sat next to me, reached across me, took my left earphone out to put in her left, then continued to do her makeup. We said not one word to each other and shared an entire scene and culture in silence. Her stop came then she left to go to work. Ive never seen her again since. There was no intimate connection we weren't about that vibe at all. It was just how it went. Exactly like that. Bless her soul. . . . Auckland City, New Zealand. 2007.
as someone who only ever heard the brostep side of dubstep, this is like way better, it flows smoother and does not feel like your getting hit in the head with a sledge hammer every second, its not about the heavy drop, its about the whole song

Yeah except the whole song is just boring. As a songwriter I cannot condone that anyone actually truly enjoys this, it's all to be accepted by the other hipsters and it was all started by one guy that dug it and everyone wanted to impress him by saying they dug it too. I don't believe anyone.

2010s "dubstep" was when dub collided with garage, resulting in leads and drops along with almost pop-like vocals. Eventually, the vocals began to disappear leaving only leads and growls which somehow turned into a bunch of alien machinery noises

@@bokenovskyjones If still interested look up Deep, Dark, and Dangerous. It's a label/collective ran by the duo Truth. It's got artists such as Distinct Motive, The Widdler, Khiva, Ternion Sound, Pushloop, and more who all contribute excellent Dubstep. Also listen to The Greys Ä, Roadsbeaf, B1t Crunch3r, and The Maker. There's plenty more than that, I use SoundCloud primarily if you follow them on there or look up similar you will find more.
This mix is still a banger. 2022.
I remember walking around the streets of Luanda, Angola in ‘06 kuduro, afro house and Dubstep was playing everywhere. Awesome times! Big up UK!

I love original dubstep sooooo much
This era of dubstep was just so revolutionary. It's dark, not too wobbly and was amazing to fry out to. Caspa, Rusko, Benga, Skream just phenominal music they released... love it man.
So at the ripe age of 45 I found a documentary about dubstep and thought what the hell, ill check it out. I always thought I hated dubstep but only just now found out I don’t like the new stuff. All the stuff I was listening to at the raves in early 2000’s that I thought was D-N-B and jungle was in part dubstep. Learn something new everyday. Fell in love with with the music all over again even in 2022. 👊🏽 Great mix man, love the tracks.

I don't know how I got her, I don't use KZread to listen to music, but man these bring me back. I managed to stumble my way into dubstep through Burial's Untrue back in high school when it first dropped. As an American diving head-first into the genre, it was hard to get anyone to listen to this wonderful genre with me, but man am I glad I found it.
Damn, dubstep went from sounding like a main menu theme (at least by listening to the first song) to being a drill repeated at different notes
You opened with Midnight Request Line. Yeah, I like you.

What a mix. Jumped in my car and fancied either some early dmz or middle years coki and this mix was suggested to me. Mate by toasty i was sold, great quality on the upload, made my car sub sing. Your mixing style isnt as hectic as hatcha or n-type but its as smooth as both of them; great selection and that empires is insane. Thanks for making my drive home that bit more nostalgic. Ps i feel like we were all part of something very very special.
Heavy mix, deep rollers, plenty of sublow tunage, smooth transitions. Keep these classic dub mixes coming!!!!
When you could still hear the dub in dubstep
Only just discovered this and now I feel bad for not having discovered it earlier
There's something satisfying about watching the vinyl artwork spin. Nice track selection.
I'm glad you made at least two mixes. I'm going to use them as a source to find more and make my own.
thank you so much for a good classic dubstep trip with this mix, some good classics it was indeed. Have a nice day :)
Such a good tracklist, good mixing, and the camera angle wasn't bad. Great mix
Solid, proper sounds. I'm sad I didnt discover the vid when initially posted. But since found, I've run it a least once a week :). Excellent work on the deck!

When u started with Skream, I clicked like. Simple as that, already knew it was going to be a big set.
Thankyou for inspiring me to go back through my own collection and get back in the mix.This is a great mix.I’m listening on a hot sunny day in the post industrial/industrial landscape of Ne England and this is a perfect soundtrack.Good good stuff keep it coming man👊

I would love to have a dig through your crates and get all jelly legged at how many golden plates you have. Big ups on the solid mix.
This should get more views & subs honestly...all the vinyl mixers deserve more respect. And this is coming from a guy who bangs his head on dubstep mixing (digitally). Just watch his hands and you'll understand why I'm saying what I'm saying ;) Anyway thanks for the vibes man
The best dubstep was from this time, great video!
But for my liking to game Barotrauma i would not have searched for the accordion remix video and would not have started search for similar good music ultimately resulting in finding this mix. Life is full of small happy moments and this is one of them :)
Great quality audio
