The b roll showing the tower blocks in London is from a documentary called tower block dreams. About pirate radio stations in the early naughties 2 eps are on RUclips. Episode 1 you get to see a young Charlie sloth.
It's deeper than that. What you were told is dubstep ain't dubstep at all. The name of the genre is the biggest clue here; dub + step. Dub comes from dub reggae, or sound system culture/music, step comes from 2step, which was a subgenre of uk garage; the first dubstep tunes were 2step B-sides. Go ahead and listen to a dub reggae mix and then a 2step garage mix (i recommend El-B), you'll hear that mainstream dubstep has nothing to do with even the roots or the vibe of the genre. It capitalized on the name of the underground genre that was gaining prominence and legitimacy, and then it ultimately gatekept the international exposure. Also the name dubstep was coined years before it was even brought to America.
Should definitely check out Burial, react to a documentary on his album called Burial Untrue: The making of a masterpiece for a good understanding of what makes it so special
@@Jurnalist_ I ain't really that knowledgeable on the UK Dubstep scene so this video was a learning experience for me too. Heard my man talking up Burial so I pulled up this Untrue album. Fam. That's pretty much how I'm feeling about it right now and I'm only like 6 tracks in. Wheeled up the ting about 4 times already. I need to hit that documentary up cause I must've been sleeping or something. One of the craziest records I've ever heard.
The biggest theme of this documentary is music nostalgia , it's about a feeling , and i have the same feeling with the 90's hip hop! But then we evolve and never stop listening new music!
6:14 - I was waiting for this 🤣 7:40 - MALAAAA 7:57 - Always found how he pronounced 'Mala - Bury Da Bwoy' (also if you check it out, listen to 5 minute 21 second one (not the 4 and a half minute shortened one). 12:00 - 'Coki - Ruff Lovin' - (It's crazy that the same guy who brings you stuff like at 7:12) 16:14 - Nah that's Lisa Mafiaa (The girl who's bum Dizzee pinched and got stabbed over). _Burial is so sick, wait until you are going through it, then:_ _have a drink, wait 30 mins and start smoking in a dark room, then fling on the 'Burial - Untrue' album_ 27:43 - 🤣🤣🤣🤣 33:46 - That's the guy with the dreadlocks record label art, it was released on 'Deep Medi Musik' - Mala's label 🤣 (all Deep Medi (well 98% of it) have that art style of the artist pressed on the label of the record) 36:08 - Man like Joker 37:59 - 😖😖😖😖 Magic 37:55 - 'Frisco ft. Chip - Are you?' - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 40:49 - 💯💯💯💯 42:52 - Tear Out ain't for me, there are one or two good ones, but I can't vibe with 99% of it. I love the deep bass and introspective stuff. 1:02:25 -Don't worry, you would rate my taste in dubstep, there are some real gems in there _Off to smoke to: 'Coki - Burnin'_ 😉
The beat you asked for is Mad Sax by Guido. Beautiful beautiful melody. And you’re right it’s Frisco and Chip who have a song on that beat called “Are You?”
Respect for sitting through a 50min documentary about a genre you're not necessarily familiar with or like. I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of UK dubstep but I appreciate its origins and its impact on our scene. You'll probs recognise a lot of UK dubstep on Grime sets whenever you happen to listen to them. It can't be understated how much the speaker system affects the listening experience of UK Dubstep either. The bass is unbelievably strong and really does feel like its peircing through your body, especially when youre in a dark club with low ceilings its quite disoreinting
with all due respect, but of course he speaks from ignorance, and it is completely true that you have to be inside a soundsystem to understand Dubstep, as you would have to understand DUB, the documentary talks about how the name of an entire musical genre was stolen, since skrillex's dubstep would be musically post-dubstep and not dubstep and this confuses people who see this scene from the outside. I sincerely recommend that you investigate more, labels like Deep medi, Juan forte, or artists like frozen plates, EVA 808, TSMV.
PLEASE SAY YOU DO MORE DUB, NO ONE REACTS TO DUB. Linton Kwesi Johnson - LKJ in Dub The Revolutionaries - Kunta Kinte Dub King Tubby - Kaya Dub, Take Five Kiddus I - Graduation In Zion Keep it up man, your reactions are banging
I honestly don’t mind adding it in but it is a genre I am unqualified to give a substantial opinion. I can at best say if I like it or not when it comes to dub. I’ll check these out and do a few videos if I end up liking what I hear I’ll dig into it like I do all the other stuff. Ty for the suggestions.
@@Jurnalist_ dub got big in the UK mainly because of Notting hill carnival. I'd recommend watching a documentary on that over the tracks I suggested I guess. I just love Linton Kwesi Johnson, a big rights activist that got forgotten and his music bangs!
@@Jurnalist_ Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ) is a poet who's worth checking out. He was famous for poems about the experiences of the Windrush Generation. You could say he's UK's first rapper as he was doing Dub poetry in the 70s. He was on Def Poetry jam S02 E07 "If I Was a Top-notch Poet".
@@Jurnalist_ FYI (not implying you are) but don't get Dub and Dubstep mixed up, Dub is the reason modern music has a proper bass line and sub bass. Dub is like reggae but with an emphasis on the drums and the bass and no lead vocal. This leaves space for the first iteration of what we now know as an MC. They also add effects over the mix like dub sirens and spring reverb.
I was there... I loved every bit of it. I was at a dnb night and all of a sudden the bass dropped into the wob wob wob and I knew the world had changed forever. People instantly started to dance different in the room, looks were exchanged and you could see people were aware something special was happening. It was so sad to see commercialisation and gentrification killing the scene so quick.
Yea all the stuff thats big in America existed before me so I have not had a chance to experience that. Its got to feel like you lost a loved one or seeing a good friend turn snake on you.
That breeda who done that documentary don't know what his talking about. I know benga and skreem personally they my donny from back in school I made beats with benga before he blew up nd created dubstep along with skreem. Benga loved a track from dj krust warhead and skreem loved the dark techy sounds of dnb at the time so both benga and skreem merged dnb with garage type beats which came from jungle. Skreem would always tell bout what tunes his making and would always try to aim for the bad company sounding dnb tracks. Be gas music you can hear dj krust warhead in his tunes aswell as oldskool garage.
some recs for uk dubstep (these are just some of the popular ones from artists theres defo more if u dig a bit): also i recommend listening on headphones or with a subwoofer or already good bass speakers to really hear the bass fully peverelist - roll with the punches (this and the james blake bootleg of it are great) mala - changes james blake - air and lack thereof joy orbison - hyph mngo/wet look zomby - (any of the before 2012 stuff, later stuff is alot more influenced by different genres) jack sparrow - good old days (i think this is the one im thinking of)
man really sat and educated himself for an hour on a genre he doesn't even like for the culture, respect fam.
I need to be educated or some of the takes I have are useless. Thank you for sitting through it with me.
I wish there were more people who enjoyed both dubstep AND “brostep”
you are not alone.

Dubstep was yet another spin off of UK music, underground music, which we excell in.
But we can all agree now that Skrillex invented it all. 😂😂😂😂😂

One of the movies shown in this that you should check out is 4 lions.
Best UK comedy eeeeasy.

I gotta see cause hot fuzz is funny af.
its on yt might do a reaction see if i can finesse it lol.

Lol yea, loved seeing ppl experience it for the first time despite warning them outside that it's really dark and really loud 😂
Yea we will for sure have to look into this more. I haven't experienced an official sound system in those regards.
People don't listen lol.

@@Jose-tj1nz Skrillex's flagship genre couldn't even be called post-dubstep. It is something else entirely. You are right though; they stole the name.
watching straight after ur flirta reaction, seen them both before as well lol.

some recs for uk dubstep (these are just some of the popular ones from artists theres defo more if u dig a bit):
also i recommend listening on headphones or with a subwoofer or already good bass speakers to really hear the bass fully
peverelist - roll with the punches (this and the james blake bootleg of it are great)
mala - changes
james blake - air and lack thereof
joy orbison - hyph mngo/wet look

jack sparrow - good old days (i think this is the one im thinking of)
