Right today I have a couple of tracks that have been released on UKF's pages on youtube. Now I'm sure all of you are familiar with UKF, a fantastic channel on youtube set up by a lad whose made a real go of the explosion of bass culture in recent years.
Yesterday on their Drum and Bass page they put up a VIP and its an absolute banger from Body & Soul and Fourward. Its the Authority VIP and it has a combination of brutally heavy kicks along with a real dubstep feel to it. I love it, if you like heavy dubstep then you'll love this track, but it appeals to the drum and bass crowd too with its tempo. Solid release for them.
The other track that I want to bring to your attention is another UKF tune, this time a release by Adam F who I've never really got into and to tell you the truth this is a Subscape remix, but whatever. It's more along the electro side of the dubstep spectrum so if you like your beats dark and heavy then this won't be for you, but for fans of Skrillex and alike then you'll like this. The track is titled "When The Rain Is Gone" just get it.
OK now before continuing with this blog let me clear something up. Skrillex has divided opinions within the bass world, people claim that he reuses the same loops, he's a sellout, he's making dubstep too mainstream. Others say he's a pioneer and bringing dubstep to the mainstream stage is a good thing. To be totally honest, I don't give two shits what you think of him. My opinion is that he's a good producer, he's no pioneer and his sound is more along the lines of electro/dubstep I wouldn't say it fits one genre perfectly, if you disagree then keep that to yourself. I saw him in Brixton a few weeks ago and the show was immense, I had a great time and so did everybody else, if you don't like him then don't listen, simple, don't send me shit about how he's a this or a that. End of rant.
More in the days ahead people. Keep those eyes peeled.
