Dubstep is now the tag for “forward thinking experimental bass music” personally I cant stand the half step stuff like Loefah and Mala – and im not digging the “thuggy” mid range bass wobble either – you know peeps trying to be heavier than heavy….
Im into the more abstract/deep stuff at the moment, like the stuff on Hyperdub (who have also released FlyLo, Samiyam, Ras G), Ramp (who did some stuff with Tokimonsta and I think Nosaj Thing) Hessle Audio, Hemlock etc….
You should check out Pangaea – sick, almost hip hop Dubstep, but not Dubstep, as the current flabvour of the month is “PROTO Dubstep/Future Garage” which is all about the bass, but used skippy 2 step rhythms, you know, push pull drums and that….
Its all about the feel as well, so if you are down with bounce I would check it out
