Out of interest, who are you guys inspired by musically within “the scene” as it were.
I got early Loefah, Commodo, early Burial, Joy Orbison.
The usual suspects - DMZ gang, Skream, Benga plus Joker and when i first heard Jakes’ tunes the wobz blew my mind.

You can’t not rate skream

The one time I went to see Skream DJ, he got so drunk he could barely stand up let alone DJ.

I respect him as a creator of the scene/sound blah blah etc but his actual tunes I don’t dig on them that much
I lost a lot of respect back when he stole dude’s full MIDI file tune and released it as an original.

As a pioneer he’s up there as the dubstep demigod.
Just a shame he started spinning disco for the p’s

i gained a lot of respect back when he redistributed cdjs to the proletariat

If you think about it, would there be Dubstep without Disco?
Bah.
Yeah but the disco you’re referencing there and the disco he spun were p different entities tbh.
Former is a strong musical statement from gay black men and their allies, latter is what Paris Hilton puts on Spotify when she wants to signal as a truhed.

Yeah, I actually don’t really know what kind of Disco he spins.
I can break it down if you want.
Going back to the Paradise Garage which = Garage music.
And the Warehouse which = House music.
Both the same thing and came from Disco.
Oh not disputing that.
Just saying that the music produced around the time of OG disco’s heyday was contextually more innovative and original relative to the nu-disco stuff favored by Ollie… not as a slag so much as assessment of relative ‘depth’.
Roots disco (lol) obviously came out of R&B, Soul, funk, etc. The nu stuff is post-rave so that’s it’s context, and a lot of it just sounds like housy diva vibes with a snare on the 2 and 4 to me.
You be the judge

Thank you for saying what I was thinking.
Blech
That is wack.
Aight anyway back to production shiz
The ability to extract discrete, meaningful audio data from finished mixes is apparently coming a long way lately.
There are some serious contenders (in addition to open source Spleeter, which @cyclopian shared before iirc…)
