The Dubstepforum – Dubs page round-up #01

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I sat and listened to every single track posted on the first page of the Dubs part of Dubstepforum.com today.

I wanted to see how many of the tracks I liked, and how many were tracks that I didn’t enjoy. I was also starting to get a bit worried that the whole reason I started this blog was to showcase producers whos tracks I loved – in order to give them a bit of exposure and some feedback.

As it turns out, there was a good handful of tracks that I’m glad I found – and some producers that I’m happy I discovered. I tried to give the ones I enjoyed comment where possible, although kept it minimal, since I was trawling almost 100 posts.

Anyway, here is my reccomendations based on today’s research. I’d reccomend that if you’re a DSF member – you fire on over and check these tracks out. Promising I think you’ll agree.

Needless to say this has slightly re-instated my faith in the Dubs section of the forum.

Quantum Soul – Apache & Chimera

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Both tracks are available to listen to through the MySpace

Apache
It’s quite the epic intro, with orchestral stabs, and a buildup with some movie vocals. The drop hits out with this twisted-up echoing sub bass, a growling midrange stab, and some high-end synths to keep the feel from the intro.

There’s something of a head-nod-stroke-bounce element to the whole thing. The cheeky addition of flutey notes, a breakdown to remind us of the high-end and vocals, then the second drop that gives us more of the same with a little bit extra lands this track in my “will play again both in the house, and in my sets” folder.

Chimera
“Excellent” he exclaims… “More of the same” – another solid bouncy intro, some vocal sample slapped on the top, and a breakdown that actually sounds well-sculpted and crafted. The style is still relatively growly, and there’s some great percussion over the top, as well as that familiar off-beat keys plink.

Both these tracks are really solid. I reccomend you check them and Quantum Soul out before you’re forced to!
