I’m fairly new to the genre and want to discover some of the more obscure artists. Basically not people like Skream, Benga, Digital Mystikz etc. Maybe recommend a few tracks too? OBSCURE
L-Wiz
Toasty
Luke Envoy
(not 100% per se but still worth checking) Darqwan
…
Just off the top anyway. Those are all OG acts that were around in the beginning but deserve more recognition imo.
LHF is underrated af
It’s hard to say what’s obscure any more though. These guys are on a pretty well known label and have some tunes on like, Oneman’s Rinse Mix CD but aren’t that talked about
i think these are not obscure enough, but whatever
Headhunter
Kulture
Matty G
Lost
Daega Sound
RUF/JSL
Search & Destroy
Cluekid
ramadanman, pangaea, untold, peverelist, martyn, 2562, silkie, quest, harry craze, joker, gemmy, guido, RSD, Pinch, LV, Random Trio
idk how i missed all of these
gonna add hyetal, brackles, geiom and shortstuff
Haven’t heard of many of them. Have heard ‘Claustrophobic Angel’ by Kulture tho. so good
if you want dubstep from most of these guys you gotta look at their early work, at least for the first half of the list or so. Most of them have moved onto other genres now
If you’re looking for more recent stuff, OP, I suggest:
LAS - Dem Break (w Mikael)
Gantz - Spooky Action At A Distance
Commodo - (to date, I’m more a fan of his remixes than his original output, he did some for LAS and Gantz)
Geode - Oblong
B9 - IMK (Especially if you like any of the 2562/Martyn stuff, also the rest of the Chord Marauder crew)
Mikael - Sandwell
Technically don’t count, but
Kahn & Neek - DickTracy
More history:
Kode9 - 9 Samurai
Objekt - The Goose That Got Away
Artwork - Red
16Bit - Jump
Scuba - Tense
probably just listen to all the work cos its all nang
Was Joker ever actually dubstep?
Or was it that he came up on HD?
Just download the beatport app. Curated playlist in the bass genre with new music every week.
If you’re looking for obscure you should look up a guy called “Quaro” on soundcloud. He’s only got like 800 likes or something so he’s pretty unheard of but he’s got some top quality tracks. Shaman and summon are personal favorites
Check out foamplate and karma too
I feel like EshOne doesn’t get enough love as well.
skrillex, datsik, downlink, bar9, flux pavilion, sevenlions, eptic and excision
I Can’t Stop, Midnight, Gecko, Kill Everyone (or whatever it’s called), and that first Eptic tune that got onto InspectorDubplate, were pretty good imo.
Fuck sevenlions and excision though. Especially excision. Utterly crap tnuc.
Datsik made that track good.
