We have an all dubstep monthly here that some cats are throwing just to capitalize on it. So shallow, so hollow, and so cold & devoid of emotion and soul. Give me some proper acid techno, banging Swedish techno, or funky/jazzy/techhouse/deephouse. Even D&B. Everyone knows that shit is designed to dance to all night... The fact that dubstep is what people picked up on in the American mainstream as a cross-over electronic genre is the reason so many of the older heads have all but given up on the local scene here.. Some of us are doing weirder shit now, because at least there is real passion and content and depth to it.
Nice 2-step Glice! Yeah a lot of those tunes are good. Again my complaint is really what had resulted from it now (brostep)

yeah you can't really compare dubstep to brostep... most dubstep (even nowadays) has soul and emotion - it's just the 1% of party stuff that is deprived of it, and for some reason it's the facet of the genre that became mainstream.
you should listen to rinse: 19 mixed by icicle (perhaps you already did!); in less than an hour, he manages to spin techno, dubstep and drum&bass and keep a good flow - all the tracks kinda have the same dark atmosphere so it helps -. impressive stuff - not really something I'd dance all night to though, but I have Funkystepz for that ahah

mind you, even though it's been a while since I last listened to one of their albums, i actually like Animal Collective as well - but do I want to have the same arguments over and over? no
