dubstep, nuum et al
After Tuesday’s tip from Josh K I decided that there must be a whole mess of info about Dubstep and Grime and how it’s crossing over into the underground “mainstream,” for want of a better word. It didn’t take me very long. First stop Roy Christopher’s blog, from there to BlissBlog one of many blogs run by music critic and author Simon Reynolds and from there to Dissensus where the light began to flood in. Dissensus has a post/thread entitled “K and the inter-’nuum transition point” which led me to some new pastures and also some I’d already visited. What I discovered is that the Dubstep movement is in transition and the articles, essays and interviews all confirm that trend. Check out the links below if you wish to be enlightened on the subject.

Since acid house in the late ’80s, the British dance music scene has been funny to watch. At first, every year, some innovator came along and created a new genre of dance music. Gradually, that window of time between new genres decreased. Now, sometimes it seems that the new genres are changing faster than the actual innovations. So in the progression that has gone from jungle to drum-and-bass to two-step to garage to grime (and don’t even get me started on grindie), the 2007 favorite is dubstep. So I went dubstep shopping, picking up the classic compilation Warrior Dubz; a collection of Skull Disco singles; and, most impressive, the new Burial CD Untrue. Afterward, I went to Yauatcha for dumplings and noodles with a guy who claims he won the U.K. version of The Apprentice. (Note: Just looked him up on Google — turns out he did.)” Here’s Neil’s web site. [...]
