Dubstep

[freehugs!]

since last glastonbury i have acquired a taste for a bit of dub ( but am still quite a newbie ). i have noticed a few dubstep/ish artists already mentioned on the rumours list and am looking to get my fingers dirty.

so, my first question is: where is the best place to find a bit of dubstep at glastonbury?

2. could you reccommend any that you believe to be playing this year?

many thanks ( and apologies if a similar thread already exists)

Benga is playing according to his myspace, can't see him on the rumours.

assuming the people down as TBC will be there, then Skream, Pinch, Joker and caspa are all pretty accessible dubstep stuff. I've also heard rusko might be about too.

you do know that dubstep doesn't = dub and vice versa?

dub came about in the 60s/70s and is very different to dubstep which has only recently come about since 2step and garage.

not trying to be a clever-dick. just thought i'd point it out since it really grinds my gears when people mix them up...

My mate (who is attending the G for the first time this year) is a big Dub head. I've promised to go to the Glade with him. I'm a reggae man so I stomach it well. Heard some Mad Proffessor the other week-Sweet! No idea if he'll play though

you are forgiven

btw i wasn't having a go. i have nothing against dubstep - i love what i have heard so far (which isn't much). been listening to some of the recommendations on here as well.

was just pointing out that dub is dub - i have met a lot of people recently who are ignorant to it (since dubstep got big), and i try to big it up quite a lot cos i think that lee perry, king tubby, augustus pablo et al were genuinely revolutionary. (not that dubstep isn't)

[sammysundae]

I usually do. I'm just saying I hate Dubstep.

Don't want to hi-jack... but what type of dub is Hi-tone, and hey o hansen...as I prefer this upbeat faster dub, to the deep rolling trippy slow dub..

oh and Dubwize..

[abu hamster]

I really want to spend the whole weekend stuck in dub heaven

There was a lot of dubstep discussion and recommendations in this thread too: /index.php?showtopic=120563&st=0">http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/index.p...120563&st=0

i don't know hey o hansen, but the other two are dub bands aren't they? - ie they actually play instruments

where as original dub (which is generally 'trippy slow dub') was the invention of remixing and the sound manipulating of reggae bands on studio mixing desks.

back on topic - does anybody know which stages are most likely to have some dubstep (or dub)? I've only been to glastonbury once before and i certainly don't remember what stages were for what...
