I honest love how there no hate or elitism in this doc. Pays proper homage to all stages and styles of dubstep. Simply telling how it is. Big up.
Deep dark and dangerous in the USA is keeping the og sound alive with some new flavor and modern production
Truth, the founders of the label, are from New Zealand.
I never thought I'd start crying from my appreciation of dubstep, yet here we are.
First documentary that showed the musical transition from UKG to dubstep in a way that really clicked with me. The two sounds are so distinct, and dubstep was developed so quickly that it was never clear to me how the transition phase sounded.
I totally agree
the transition was blatant and the tracks well chosen, not many folk have that ear.
I love how dubstep is like football
Its different in the UK and the US
along with metric system too. I will never understand...
exactly. for the most part, american football is shit and uk football is the bollocks
Better in UK
@@rafraf8894 obviously. Everything is better in the uk for a fact
I don't even think you can call the US take on "dubstep" as dubstep. It's just a different genre entirely. You can't say Loefah and Skrillex make the same genre of music.
Nothing against brostep or American music or culture at all, this is just my observation. When dubstep landed in the United States it immediately centered itself around loudness and drops, with an emphasis on mid to high range synths and basses. Instead of tracks having room in the mix to create space and atmosphere, or "a vibe", everything is maxed out and exaggerated. I feel like this lead to a monotony to newer dubstep, where tracks were characterised by more or less the same sounds and structures. Original UK dubstep seemed to have more swagger in a way, where beats felt more free and skippy, and basses didn't (always) completely dominate the mix.
Totally agreed mate.. I'm so sad UK dubstep got blasted by the USA one...
i was introduced to “dubstep” by skrillex, so when i learned what ACTUAL dubstep was i was shocked, they sound almost nothing alike. i am a fan of both styles though 🙏🏻
Started to listen to dubstep from skrillex in Japanese music festival in 2013.
my English friend told me Skrillex is not dubstep and made me listen to burial.
I can’t appreciate his telling me to listen to burial.
Since then,digging UK 90s garage,jungle drum’n bass and dubstep stuff.
Uk makes best music in the world.
When that bass used to hit you at Mass.....I remember just walking up the spiral staircase hearing the whole foundations of that church rattle, taking those stairs 3 at a time to get up there so fast ahaha. Irreplaceable first memories of raving for me. If by raving you mean being pummelled by bassweight while stood in a dark corner nodding my head bunning a fat zoot.
I'd love one those nights again
You are such a legend for bringing us these documentaries, very educational.
Thank you, its a a pleasure
@@BearingUK Obviously copyright stuff is a massive hurdle, but have you thought about putting together compilations of all the music to go along with the docs themselves? I feel like that is the next logical step. your work deserves to have more exposure, and the artists themselves could get more exposure from that as well.
Agreed.
@@BearingUK Awesome work as always. I really look forward to your docs. Keep going man 👌🏾 Thank you 🙏
@@BearingUK àu
Someone get the analyst his own radio show man, would be incredible 🔈🔈🔈
I think one of the problems with the brostep style was the obsession with the "drop" instead of the actual vibe. A lot of tracks had the exact same structure and probably a third of the actual tune was a long drawn out build up then a lot of producers didn't really know where to go after that apart from another build up and drop. So then other guys just thought that was the way to do things and copied it round in circles and things got pretty stale very quickly.
Most brostep tunes have spaffed their load after 17 bars. Disposable rubbish. If you listen to something like Goblin, which is as tear-out as it comes, the synth evolves throughout the tune and new rhythms come and go. You're right, the vibe is everything.
Hence the term "brostep". I remember when people started using that word, and it def was a pejorative. All the dubstep fans hated the big name DJs and didn't like it going mainstream, especially when Skrillex took a Grammy...
@@jasonlieberman4606 Of course it was pejorative.
Like term Clownstep coind by die hard drum n bass fans to offend jump up fans :)
It is silly how people react, when scene starts to split in different directions.
Feels like elemnatry school mentality.
You don't like particular sounds?
Then focus on championing the ones you love, so the scene stays healthy.
At the end commercial sounds are bringing a lot of fresh audience to the genre.
Many of them will dig dipper.
Personally it was the focus on mid/high freq that put me off. Prior to that it had all been about low-end, with lots of space between the bass and the drums. "Brostep" had no space in it at all, just a loud, grating wall of faux-aggressive noise. It's exactly the same trajectory that jungle took through dnb to what the majority of it is now, only it happened in the space of a couple of years instead of decades. It was so depressing to hear at the time.
@@AlexAlcyone best comment on here. totally on point!
49:40 one of the most incredible crowd reactions I've ever heard and I was raving since 1991!!! Unreal. Lady Chann shut down the place!!!
Man this was a great documentary... I have so much to say about this... I live in the US and I remember getting shown what raves were in 2009/2010 and learning about the many types of genres, I was ignorant to what was coming out of the UK though. Anyways a few years later my best friend and I got lucky to go to a massive festival before they became commercial, and we went to see a set we looked forward to all day, but they were having technical issues the whole time we slipped away and went to another set by curiosity. That’s when I learned what true dubstep was, it happened to be Benga... he put on the best set I’ve ever witnessed even to this day. After that day I started looking into UK music and even culture ever since. I learned about dubstep and how it came about and I remember always feeling so different from all the other ravers because they were so hyped about brostep here in the states, but I always wanted to hear UK dubstep. Then I learned about jungle, UK garage, UK Bassline (one of my fav genres right now) and Grime (my second fav genre). I will say from my point of view and experience, the reason it feels dubstep has died was because Americans took the sound and made their own interpretation of it, and it’s almost a mockery to what it really is. None of these people know the true culture and how it came about. I’ve tried talking to people at raves about it and they don’t care to be open minded. Anyways, thank you UK for all the music you’ve given us! And thank you Benga for one of the most beautiful memories I had with my best friend who passed away few years later down the road, I’ll always cherish that memory because he showed me the music.
I loved this so much, made me so sad watching that whole brostep part. I feel like America killed the vibe, I can't tell people I like dubstep without them assuming it's brostep
I feel you, Sub.Mission if you haven't already known, is gold though
People still drop it, look up truth
*USA. America is a whole continent.
There could be an aphorism about this...
When the UK takes music from the USA, they make it better. When the USA takes music from the UK, they make it worse.
and radio 1
To me the dungeon sound is still some of my favourite music from the dubstep scene. Kyptic Minds, Kaiju, Biome, Sleeper, District, Killawat, etc.
Also the 'middle eastern' vibes by Gantz and El Mahdy Jr, theres a dub called Exile which is insane. Plus the release on Deep Medi by Commodo, Kahn and Gantz was insane
There is a channel called Deeper Jungle which has HEAPS of these old dungeon sets on Rinse FM by Youngsta. Youngsta going 3 decks deep doubling up dungeon tunes with old ones is some of my favourite memories.
A little gutted no mention of MC Task or Toast but understandable. The sheer breadth and depth you've collated Bearing is astonishing!
I've listened to a lot of dungeon in 2013-2016. It ha
d fit well for me in that period of time. Now I can't stand it, for many reasons. But overall it's nice that this subgenre exists. It has shown how deep the dubstep can go.
You forgot king DJ Distance
Very well made documentary. EMOTIONAL. Thank you for speaking the truth!!
Massive documentary!! As one of the rare ones that enjoyed both the deeper, darker sound as well as the brostep stuff, it’s always a bit crap hearing people hate on the louder stuff but I do understand it. Don’t think dubstep ever died if you are speaking as a whole, but certain sub genres hit a wall where everything was just saturated. Thankfully the last few years have shown us there is plenty of life left in it yet
Exceptional, I was only confused about Deep Medi not being mentioned, considering it's the strongest and easily one of the most important and influential labels in the scene, also the more experimental branch of Dubstep with producers like Gantz and Las totally changing the game, but obviously you can't mention everyone and in general I was in awe at how accurate and diverse this was, I was bumping my head at every classic that popped up in the video. Huge respect
Woah, this is such a trip back in time. I was finishing up uni and commuting between Croydon and London when Dubstep was still a local thing. The GetDarker podcast was responsible for filling so many train and bus journeys with this music, great memories.
EDIT: Who watched right to the end? One of the best credit sequences I've watched in ages and I reminder of why I hold this scene dear.
FUCKING BRILLIANT. I’m an old school hip hop guy, jungle lover, dub techno and part time dubstep, hauntology, synth wave and vaporwave lover and this has really opened up this scene to me, respect.
there was also a dubstep crew on the west coast (San Francisco) in the mid 2000s. A number of the UK DJs got their first stateside show there - Vex'd & Plasticman in 2005, Mark One also I believe; the crew that started that had been grime heads picking up import tracks from one of the record shops in SF, can't remember which! And it lit a massive fire in them..... they were pretty much out on a limb, like torchbearers for the sound in the wilderness... they gave it their all to move heaven and earth and scrape enough together to fly the UK guys out and drop fresh UK fire on the unsuspecting Californians heh heh. Pretty sure they also hosted Skream & Benga fairly early on, can't remember who else right now.
Maaaan what an absolute throwback this episode was. Holy shit!!! I had just left college when Dubstep became big man. I remember hearing Skream's Midnight Request Line when it dropped, and then you hit me with that Flux Pavillion and I was like bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. Straight feels this whole episode. Brings back those days of just sitting around doing nothing but playing Forza 2 & CoD listening to the dubstep tunes on UKF & Sub Soldiers.
I felt this in my bones
I have to keep pausing this video to add every track to my playlists
My favorite recently released dubstep tune is Headhunted by Drone & Alix Perez. that track is so fckin massive it’s unbelievable.
Massive big up for the shout out bro, great work as always putting this together 🙌🔥For anyone wanting to keep up with more of the original sound, of course GetDarker and Duploc as mentioned but I'd also suggest these RUclips channels, Juan Forte, Infernal Sounds, Jah-Tek. All are featured via our Channel
It is a pleasure. Keep pushing on sharing the music 👊👊
@@BearingUK 🙏 Will do man, keep up the great work yourself 👊
Thank you for the edutainment. 💯👌🏾as always. Can anyone tell me the name of the tune in your deep tempo pod @53mins. I was wylin out. My gosh🔥
@@djnuttyp thanks bro, it's by Katch, track is called Rage and it came out on the Worldwide Wob Vol.1 theworldwidewob.bandcamp.com/album/worldwide-wob-the-compilation-vol-1
Thank you. I've just subscribed I guess I have some Katching up to do.....(sorry) nice work guys 👊🏾
Prophet, Ternion sound, teffa, mr. k, chief kaya, hebbe, vibe emissions, mikrodot, ourman, durandal, cartridge, saule.... the list goes on. Real dubstep is alive and well
It's really cool to see dubstep coming back to its roots these days. Not just back to its roots, but iterating and building on the roots in a diverse way that's not just focused on that robo-midrange sound. Anyways, amazing documentaries @BearingUK you've really paid it forward, future generations will be enriched with the stories you've shared.
Modern Riddim dubstep is build around the old uk dubstep or future garage
Alix Perez is goated man…. was lucky enough to see him at a warehouse show with subwoofers the size of my car‼️‼️
I will always regret ignoring the dubstep scene as it emerged, I was too into British Hip Hop at the time. It wasn't until I moved to Bristol in 2005 and heard a horsepower productions record it all changed. The drum and bass scene was pretty good too (Run @ Native £4 Tuesdays )
Well, 2005's still pretty early in the scene.
watching the first 5/10 minutes listening to the garage tunes has got me head boppin in bed; can’t wait to the clubs get back open and can get myself back to a garage rave 😍😎.
jheeez those MW2 montage video days, what throw back ahaha
Dude, where is the next part about hardcore, breaks and big beat :(( You left the best for last. Your series is truly remarkable!
Massive props for producing this well researched series! Are we ever gonna get the That UK Sound - Grime?
I love UK music in plenty of styles, but dubstep takes a special place in my heart. This dark meditative sound resonates SO much with my soul and body. I love how it reflects modern big city night mood. I equally like listening to it in my headphones while walking through dark streets, and moving with low frequency waves at the rave. I've started listening to it pretty late, in 2011, after hearing Feed Me and Skrillex from a friend (I was quite a metalhead at that time). Nevertheless, I haven't stopped there and soon dug up to the roots of the sound and it changed my life. The first and also unforgettable rave in my life was dubstep night in 2012 with Kryptic Minds and it blew me away. Another thing I will never forget is my first Outlook festival in 2016 with giant soundsystems and crowds of bass music lovers. Dubstep is much more underground in my country, than drum and bass. Although on the other hand, people visiting local events are really into the sound, not some random partygoers.
Thank you very much for the whole series! I think its really increase your connection with the music and understanding of it, if you know its roots, history and culture context. Like in any other forms of art. Do you have Patreon or something, so we could thank you for your work and contribute to further episodes?
this is such a good video compared to that 'Wait... Where Did Dubstep Go?
' video by Sound Field!
As always, on point! Met my now wife in 2007 and in 2015 she walked down the aisle to Cockney Violin in the sunshine through a wood......amazing!
Nahhhh for real?? If so, that's amazing!!
BearingUK such a beautiful track, just felt right. Once she’d said yes we walked back up the aisle to Nero - Me & You. Family members didn’t have a clue what was going on
@@jamespercival8070 Haha thats awesome!!
BearingUK am I imagining that there was a full length dnb doc as well on your channel? Can’t see one and now I’m questioning whether it was there in the first place 🤯😂
@@jamespercival8070 ruclips.net/video/HZiqmMJNIaY/видео.html
That was amazing! Thanks for a great film! I've always been drawn to the Dungeon sound, Distance, Sleeper, Biome, etc. Brostep makes my skin crawl. Use to break my heart when people got into 'dubstep' but only listened to shit like Skrillex and Knife Party... Thank God that all seems to have died off ( In England at least). The atmosphiric darker sound is still going strong. Even American artists such as Mesck, Truth and others are keeping those dark, merky basslines coming to this day. Long live proper Dubstep
I really appreciate the work and focus that goes in to these documentaries, you're very good at what you do. Cheers
Thanks, its a pleasure.
Living in the USA I've experienced both dubstep scenes but really nothing compares to dark vibes, small audiences, and a proper system. I recommend Gritsy in Houston when things open up. Got a chance to see massive artists there, including VIVEK last year. I think the 140 sound is not going anywhere and labels like JUAN are pushing really unique stuff that is worth a listen. Big ups on the video
BearingUK....O.M.F.G......Outstanding again.....hit well out of the ground....a straight 6 again like in cricket......you could no dout do a documantry about the music history from morris dancing or old fishermens shanties songs,and i would bet it would be just as factual as all the other ones you have made in this series......your are SO,SO,SO VERY,VERY Talented..Just an idea, make a boxset.....BIG,BIG UP YOURSELF...
Hamdi is such a huge og uk dubsteb revival and a mix of us / uk that i love! !!
Wicked documentary, cant wait for the rave and breakbeat rave scene video next..looking forward to that one..
Future garage producer here, love this whole series❤💎💎Excellent work on preserving and documenting the history of the
UK music scene🔥🔥💎💎 Bigups!
I love how you said not all ravers take drugs, some just love the music. I’ve been strait edge my whole life and attend American dubstep shows regularly in Denver because of my passion for the genre. Big ups!
Mate I just want to thank you for taking the time to put this together, it was an amazing trip down memory lane, calling out track names just as you started playing them!
I'll be sure to check out the rest of the series, big up.
These docs are outstanding. This one took me right back to 2007 when I started uni and first discovered dubstep. Nothing like being in a smoky basement jamming out to the old Benga and Skream classics
Done with so much care, detail and consideration for the subjects involved in the development of the UK dance scene. Simply awesome work my brother.
Mate you hit it outta the park with this one. I love dubstep so much I could just chat about it for hours where do I even begin.
I have way too many comments on this video. All 1000000% positive! So much respect for putting this out. Now, we can educate our youth on what dubstep really is. You even covered Dubwars in NYC (first time I met Skream), DSF (where i met everyone!), etc, etc, etc. WOW....think this video just made me feel 15 years younger!!
Im glad it brought you back some nostalgia. Stay blessed.
@@BearingUK You as well bruv!
Yea you covered this quite well. Pointing whomever out there is curious about learning more in the right direction as well.
On a personal note FabricLive .37 is as influential on my music tastes, and thus my journey in life as any other album. Would not have gone to school for audio engineering, and thus would not have ended up working in the industry I've made a living in for the past 7 years. That mix changed pretty much everything for me.
Funny how you included pretty much the hottest vinyl release of the current time when your doc aired. Sub Basic's Walk & Skank just got a repress announced before it was even released lol
Salute you! This is great. Talking about all the facets of Dubstep. Love it. Dubstep never died and just became so much more versatile. Love to the boys and girls who influence and form this music.
It's a pleasure, please keep pushing on making the music 👊👊
I’m giving my family a uk sound education. This is bloody marvellous. A trip down memory lane for me and a massive eye opening for my kids. Thanks for this. 💯😁💕👏
I dont think any style can really die, there are so many niece crowds nowadays, for every sound there is a party.
Excellent doc ! I used to listen to Youngsta's show on Rinse FM from 2011-2013, where the dubstep was still proper & not the brostep stuff that had already become popular. In a way, I'm actually glad that garage evolved into dubstep & grime, because in high-school, I hated garage in that all it did was promote wannabe badmans & getting girls, which was irritating to me. With dubstep & grime, I could just love the sound & the MC'ing aspect, & still dress like a tramp & no-one will care.
I knew there was a reason why groove chronicles struck me as the best of 2 step/UKG
u've covered literally everything. so good.
I'm a 90s club kid. Thank you for these documentaries about where all this imported music came from and it's roots. My life is truly enriched because of what you are doing here. Big ups!!!
Amazing Doc man, unfortunately I had to cover my ears when Brostep was playing, but obviously I understand that it had to me mentioned.
Thank you so much for all the links for more info and entreatment :)
2023 checking in, just saw Mala in NYC last Saturday all I can say is… DUBSTEP ALIVE BABY
Another great vid. Feel like i should've seen a mention for Disclosure, however commercial it is compared to most of the stuff you brought up... early stuff especially very garage/dubstep with some jungle, and they're carrying the sound on today. Give Lividup a listen... SUPERB
So good to see all the gratitude and respect in the comments. You are touching a lot of people with these docs. All it will take is someone in the right office to notice the hardwork and conscientiousness put into these shortfilms and you could get commissioned. I hope you get to where you want to be.
Thank you 👊👊
Who else was waiting for this one and it's one of the most welcome things to come this year?
I was born in 87 and came into the USA rave scene during the meteoric rise of dubstep in 2010. All I picked up about the lineage of the music was some oral history, and so it's awesome to finally catch more coherent documentation of this and the other great genres like jungle that were before my time. Massive respect for the UK sounds, so thanks for helping this American rave kid get a clearer picture of the history. 😎
Thank you BearingUK. I finally understood, and in a way, heard drum and bass for the first time(with new ears) when I decided to start smoking marijuana again. It was the weekend. All I wanted to do was get the Grand Daddy Purp, Jack Spice, Mothership, and Sour Diesel wrapped up in the "Clint Eastwood" style vanilla stumps that were crafted by the blessed old man that owned Hardwick's here in Fresno California. I remember packing up my gear and getting ready to stay the weekend at brother's small apartment in Tower District. We wasted no time upon arrival. Within twenty minutes from what I recall, we had smoked half a stump of the Purp and were slowly relighting and babysitting another half stump of the Spice. I noticed my brother had placed a CD in the small portable stereo which we took everywhere. At that point my eagerness to get the MS-20 set to hear some noise was absent. We looked at each other and agreed, smoking more marijuana is not going to get us any higher. We had capped out. Hearing music playing for about fifteen minutes at this time, I felt my brain sort of "ripple" and my ears start to "perk up" from some new information and perspective. This sound was the usual "noise" at which I would roll my eyes at and then spend remaining duration of the mix trying to figure out how and why my brother likes this music. I cannot explain exactly what happened or confirm any real change in myself. None of that mattered anymore, the noise turned in to sound and I was willing to receive the message of the music and set my judgement aside. Everything had perfectly come together that day and I now realize the importance and impact drum and bass music and the lineage of it's sound has had in my life. Far more than I could ever know. As for the flower, I will not say much about and it's delicate mysteries may never be fully unveiled or discovered. I believe in being humble, I have tremendous faith in people and the land. I love you all. Peace.
Woah bruh.... *passes back the spliff*
This episode was my favorite so far!
Gave me tears of pure joy, and a little backflash.
That was the time (end 90s, early 2000) when I got fully into electronic Music.
Before that, I was a german Hip Hop head.
I salute you Sir, big up fam!
Thanks for the shout. Big up BearingUK ;)
Its a pleasure, keep pushing the sound!!
Deffo czech out man like WZ from the Czech Republic! Big ups for the amazing document, brough back memories to when I was first introduced to the sounds.
These documentaries are fucking awesome, just binge watched them. I hope later on there'll be a breakcore one as well.
Everyone of these docs has been sick man ❤️ props for all the research and time creating this series man.. I'm still a junglist 100% but hearing spinspinsugar got me man 😂 these need to be seen on TV mate
Oh man, just thank you for this. I've been listening for dubstep (brostep and other subgenres actually) everyday for like 5 or 6 years, and discovering the genesis of dubstep is so fascinating! Keep it up :D
I'm not from the UK - never even visited, but I love UK bass music of all forms. Great video!
It's kind of hard to describe to people who weren't around at that time how utterly exciting the arrival of dubstep was when it first appeared. My first memories of it where I live (Toronto, Canada) was early 2005 when a few or the guys who typically DJ's D&B started doing dubstep sets at small venues and hearing about this "new genre, its not garage, its not D&B, it's not dub or ragga. It's sort of bits and pieces of all of these". Those early dubstep events in my city in a two year span were SUCH an exciting time. Seeing all the OG dubstep guys make their first ever appearances in Toronto was so fun. Seeing Skream open for Dillinja and people way into it and not knowing how to respond was so fascinating. Joe Nice's first even here in 2005 remains one of my fave nights out here ever.
Absolute belter of a doco plus accurate. All recommended docos you gave are great also send them and highly recommend myself 👏👏
I cannot begin to praise you enough, as I don't even know where to start - but suffice to say - all of your documentaries uploaded to your channel are so fun, and so informative. I've loved them all, as growing up, electronic music was a big part of my life. I really looked forward to the three episodes of this dubstep documentary, and it's truly a highlight on RUclips, as the other episodes also are (Jungle, DnB, etc.) Before episode 3, I thought to myself, "Surely he's including Burial in that episode, right?" And well, yeah. There was Burial! Then the episode turned dark and depressing - with the advent of the brostep sound - which to me was appallingly bad as a whole, obviously enough though, a necessary inclusion in a dubstep documentary. But as the episode continued to show, there's still great music to be found in the genre. However, the absolute highlight that got me excited beyond the moon, was seeing that you will make a documentary on UK Hardcore/Rave/Break/Big Beat! I actually screamed when I saw this appear at the end! As a teenager back in the 90s, this was my lifeblood, it was my absolute favorite electronic genre above all, so I cannot wait to see what you are making. Just thank you so much for making these documentaries, they're fantastic.
Im glad you enjoyed it mate, stay blessed ✌✌
Much love from Germany. Thank you very much
Thank you thank you thank you for such a well made, well thought out documentary that gives shout outs to all the people I love. I grew up on dubstep and as a teenager used to stay up till 4am on Wednesday nights for Mary Anne Hobbs iconic shows! Especially big thanks for giving the women on the scene a big up. I didn't know some of the newer ones and will start following.
Also shout out to the REEF night (in Berghain) in Berlin for putting on a proper old school UK sound night and pumping out hours of good dubstep and DnB just 3 weeks ago. The old sound lives on!
Ahh man when you went through the old circus records boys it gave me goosebumps, massive part of me getting into production
Omg man such an amazing series. This one touched me the most because I grew up with dubstep. Listening it since 2009 till this day. Brought amazing memories. Thanks mate.
Man, the amount of time + work you've must have put into this series is mind-boggling. THANK YOU for these, always hyped for the next episode!!!!!
Been around The Mass parties 2004-2007. Prime time. Thanks for bringing up memories!
Your documents literally give me chillz every minute.
Thanks for these docs. Great stuff. Been with dubstep since 2005, you left out a huge history of what happened after the dubstep implosion post brostep around 2011..the post dubstep sound and all the places that went, and dubsteps retreat back into the dungeon scene. Thanks for including the us..dubwar was critical over here, as was smog LA, sub.mission Denver, and Reconstrvct NYC.
Hope you can do a history of low end theory in Los Angeles ! So many artists were born there. Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Tokimonsta, etc.
Yeah like purple sounds, it's a Dubstep sub genre
No lie: I was watching this and just got the news that Cookie Monsta has passed away. RIP a real dubstep legend. I feel very lucky that I got to see him perform live... What an absolute mad lad.
Its such a shame, he was only 31 😔
@@BearingUK Does anyone know how he passed away yet?
todays my birthday, and during this weird
lockdown all i can say is thank you for making
these informative correct documentaries..
All have been spot on,
i used to go to the Mass in Brixton when the Milky boys
did DNB raves in there, (possibly 96 era) and also
dillinja did a Valve night in there& the sound was silly lol...
I'd be curious to see one of these on underground UK Hardcore. Anything related to early underground Jungle and Dubstep really.
I always felt like Wookie and Darqwan were somewhat overlooked. Cheers brother!

Right from the firsrt6tones my breath had left me!!! BOOM!!! 💥
Have a good break, but oh my god the next instalment is so up my street I had to look outside! Be sure to give the amen break, piano breakbeat, darkside, Tango and seduction a mention. Thanks for all your hard and detailed work
I found this emotional to watch.
Man I miss the golden days.
This was an amazing watch, thankyou man.
Your whole series has been amazing and is the sound of my life from my early teens to my 40s. Could not think of a better county to grow up in. Big up the UK , South London and our Jamaican brothers!
Thanks so much for putting this out there. This is the best docu series on the origins of these sounds I've seen. Any plans to cover broken beat & bass music culture?
Thank you, I could do broken beat.
Even with all my shares I'm surprised these absolute MASTERPIECES have so little views. Very educational and yet super interesting, good job!
This was a great watch, you did a top job of telling the story. I'd just turned 18 during the early days of dubstep so my first experiences of raving were to this genre. What a trip down memory lane! It still hurts to think about what brostep did to the scene.
I'm sure if you tried to mention everyone in this doc it would have ended up being about 10 hours long. Subdub up in Leeds do deserve their props for pushing the sound though. As do producers like Distance, Cyrus, Tunnidge, Kromestar, Quest and Silkie (all there from early).
Big up for making!
I'm really happy you're planning to keep this series going beyond this installment. Have you ever been to any PsyTrance squat/outdoor parties? You can't really get much more underground and alternative than that around London.
To inspire a couple hundred people all tripping and flowing in a field for nearly 24hrs over a weekend requires an equally energetic, obscure and entrancing subgenre of music, and is perhaps worth recognition and a mention of some kind.
Keep it up!
Thanks for bringing back that 2008/2011 memories I spent great times playing and listening dubstep here in mexico City rip that dubstep era
This was an amazing watch mate! Many similar documentaries either spend most of their time hating on the brostep sound or not including it at all - you clearly know your stuff and went in depth, props! Thank you for this amazing insight :)
Chestplate is absolutely amazing label, every record is amazing. DJ Distance left such a huge mark on dubstep scene
Skrillex's sound in a way, pays homage to DJ Distance, as the latter was probably the very first producer to get his influences from metal and some emo.
@@onedupe Skrillex has nothing to do with Distance. Distance is not brostep but pure original dubstep. It is not about just bass but about the atmosphere which dubstep captured perfectly. Skrillex was in a band before but it doesn't mean he pays homage to Distance. I mean it is disrespect to call some brostep noise dubstep. It is good to listen to but try to feel something while listening, it takes you nowhere and that's where dubstep comes in.
Only meant to watch a few mins and finish it later. that didn't happen watched the whole thing now a whole load of new music to listen to. Big ups you guys for making this!!!! and praise the UK music scene !!!!1
also Volor Flex one of the sickest future bass producers, they've put out so much music it's insane
Thanks for making this series. They're really informative and entertaining. I love that original dubstep sound and Soundsystem style dubs. Seriously thank you again.
Cheers from Brazil.
incredible documentary, so thorough, great and concise commentary, perfect visuals and sound balance. Thanks for the hard work, helps me understand a lot more as a music listener re: the multitude of subgenres.
