In light of Rusko’s performance yesterday at Extravaganza (who by the way needs to see a dentist…quickly), and the one year anniversary of theRABBLE last week, we give you…Grimtetime Vol. 1. Grimetime is hard to explain, it’s better felt. Or heard. But still better felt. Kind of like an electric orchestra made up of mixed-machines, transformers, gears, gizmos and gadgets. The real question is, is dubstep dying? Many would answer yes. Due to the influx of elitist remixers and producers who have recently dipped their electro-hands into the dubstep scene, we’ve seen over-hyped artists like Skrillex (signed to Deadmau5′s Mau5trap label) and others, emerge as well as receive criticism from the greater electronic music community for their lack of originality, musicianship, and “mainstream” appeal. The once underground music community that began in the UK has expanded exponentially, maybe too fast. The fact of the matter is that to the majority of Americans dubstep = wampwampwamp, over, and over, and over. And I have to admit, a lot of it is beginning to sound like garbage, but I believe the goods still exists. They’re are hidden gems, you just might have to look a little harder for them. Are we to blame? It will be interesting to see how the industry responds. To me, dubstep is embodied by its atmosphere – most will have to experience it to appreciate it. Enough talk. Here’s a collection to kickstart your grimy-ness off on the right foot. After all, it’s Monday. Disclaimer: faces may or may not melt. Weird Plate?
