Came across a little gem while doing something centered around dubstep. I was looking up BPM (beat per minute) categories for different genres of music, and came across a Wikipedia article that mentioned this guy Skream so, I threw a couple jams up on Spotify. Turns out, this dude has one jam that was pretty damn sweet (and I am sure many more). Have a listen below, apparently Skream is a big deal in the dubstep world.. which shows how much I know about it all. This IS a dupstep beat, but it doesn't really reflect where dupstep has evolved to in its current state. It used to refer to a specific BPM, and the way the base/drum track worked together. So this is kind of a hybrid really between dubstep and something a little more downtempo breakbeat. Like, if you took Pendulum and slowed them down.
At any rate, if you turn the base up a bit, this one should have the desired affect.

I know dupstep can be hit or miss, as it sometimes is a tad too glitchy for most people's taste. However, dupstep live shows are a powerful thing. It is instant dance-tron, take my word for it.
Some good news on the Cincinnati front, Lotus comes to town in February to the Madison Theater! Be sure to check them out if you like jam-band/electronic type stuff.
In the mean time, I have been working diligently on creating new sounds. As you may understand, sounds do not equal songs. However, they do equal the seeds that create songs. SO, with that said, I might share some things I created just tonight here soon, and see what you all think.
Cheers,
