agreed.
I rate midnight request line over it tbh
Reading the list again in the cold light of day, I honestly don’t have a problem with anything on there.
Like if someone were to ask me “what’s dubstep?” and I gave them that list and told them to listen through, at no point would I think the genre was being misrepresented in anyway.
Have to tip my hat to FACT, they’ve done well here.

I don’t think that it’s necessarily a bad list, just not as good as could be. Then again this is all subjective anyway
There will always be individual nuances to this sort of thing though, particularly when a fanbase is as so prone to pontification and naval-gazing as ‘tru heds’ seem to be.

You & I (Router) > Memories imo. But yeah, the list is okay.
I was agreeing with you.
Fair
not a bad list, very much “I decided that dubstep finished in 2009” though.

Definitely this, shame on them missing out on almost like 6 years of dubstep (excluding the pre 2005 years they also excluded)

Well they did say less of a movement which is true, the excitment had completely gone after 2009
Yeah, was swiftly replaced with embarrassment thereafter.
i disagree, Space Cash, Eyez, The Boxer, One Of Us, Dread, Haunted Harmonics, Loads of the system releases all came after 2009, and they’re just a few off the top of my head.
nothing embarrassing about it imo.
I was talking more about the fact that after 2009, answering the question “So what type of music are you into?” with “Dubstep” was a little bit peak.
I guess a bit, doesn’t stop good music being made.
anyways, it was either:
“what music do you like?” “dubstep.” "whats that?“
or
"what music do you like?” “dubstep.” “oh so like skrillex/doctor p/ fluxy pavlova?”
I’d hardly consider them worthy of inclusion on the above list though, though they are good tunes in their own right.
Same reason I wouldn’t expect anyone to push for LAS/Gantz/Commodo to appear, even though they have put out some bangers it’s all building on something that has already been to pass, rather than being groundbreaking in it’s own right?

Yeah definitely, but the excitement about dubstep turned into an embarrassment about the seven letter d-word. Even now, that music is blatantly dubstep but who from that circle actually calls it that?
To some extent, i would argue that stuff like Gantz and stuff like Space Cash we’re pretty unique in dubstep.
I seriously have no problem with the list. I think 2009 is as far as it has to go. Lot of nice tracks been made since but they’re not dubstep. Or if they are they’re not essential.
