"If it wasn't for the music, I don't know what I'd do"

Having been present at the Breakfast Dub event held at 6 Ft Anda yesterday which featured 16 hours of dubstep from some of the scene's widely respected dj's and producers it made me realise just how rapidly the genre has grown from its early days back in the turn of the millennium up to now.

Having only started to listen and take notice of dubstep over a year ago my knowledge is still relatively shallow. Therefore at no point do I wish to make false claims about an extensive background into dubstep music. The only thing I can truthfully claim is that I was born in the same place it originated, but that is nothing to boast about.

However whilst sifting through the archives on GET DARKER and finding an early dubstep documentary produced by the BBC it is evident that from the introduction of huge nights such as FWD and DMZ in London and Dub War in New York dubstep has broadened its horizons in many ways.

This early documentary has spawned a number of other dubstep documentaries planned for release very soon. These include Bass Weight and Dub Files.
The launch party is coming up very soon on the 20th of August at East Village.
Just by the look of the line-up I think those that are interested had best get themselves down!

Here's a preview of what to expect.

Dubstep has some very intresting music I have to agree, But its lack of tempo can often let the music down.

Yeah elijah it was pretty busy around 5 ish but I headed off after a couple of hours.
I'm sure when heny g, oneman and walsh amongst others stepped up the place was probably rammo!

Only saw a couple of dj's. Search and Destroy smashed it up early on with some ambient vibes!
A few wheels you know how it is.
