Dubstep was originally a genre of industrial that focussed more on droning/pulsing basslines. A more fair review would be to say it was a new direction of older EBM styles, which most consider to be industrial.

Being an avid fan of "pure", or original, industrial and newer forms, I find it extremely amusing when you recognize the influence it has had on most current electronic music. In fact, I find it difficult to not love most electronic music, despite how different it sounds compared to the old days of Kraftwerk and SPK/Throbbing Gristle.

I think everyone should listen to "Moscu esta helado" by Esplendor Geometrico. The bassline in the song is fucking sick. It might be in spansih, but this song is killer, and done with very little gear, which is awesome/impressive.

I think I am doing better. The constant practise is doing well for me, that is to say when I have a goal(the actually concluding a track part). Normally, i just fuck around and dial up cool sounds, which there has been less of that, sadly. I also like that I have less time now than I did at the start, so I have even more pressure to make something.

lol i figured out this was actually my problem before seeing any replies. I kept trying to fix it like an idiot, when I shouldve realised that it wont let me preview it.

I would like to thank you for the replies, even though I am sure you might think I am a bit retarded now O_o

Dont be so hard on yourself. Everything I have uploaded so far sucks...

Gear lust is a real problem. Everytime I see a cool effects unit i get the itch, and I feel like a crack head with a twitch. "c'mon baby, let me run stereo out through out that..."

Yeah, I have issues O_o
