My Top 5 Favorite Dubstep Artists

A while back I released a few posts about some of the favorite Psytrance artists of mine (also Psybient), I figured now is the time to round up my favorite Dubstep artists.

I love Dubstep, it’s still really young compared to genres like house, trance and techno so we’re still seeing the genre splinter into various sub-genres, each with its own flare and awesomeness.

This post really isn’t about the overall top 5 Dubstep artists because that would be a bit pretentious; for that reason, I’m going to list my own favorite and if you’d like to add to your own list, just leave a comment at the end along with a few links so everyone else can hear that wobbly goodness. Okay? Let’s get into it…

3 More Movies About Raves Worth Watching

Without a doubt my previous post, the top 10 rave movies of all time, was quite the success.

Although it doesn’t teach you how to DJ or cover DJ equipment, people still really enjoy reading and discovered what I believed to be the best rave movies.

After some feedback, I think it’s time to cover a few more rave movies worth your time. I’ll say this up front, some of these aren’t the best but they’re still entertaining.

Hollywood does  a hit and miss job representing a lot of cultures, rave movies are no exception to this rule (think Jaws, and then think Jaws 3D).

Okay, enough rambling, let’s get on with the list.

What Type Of Music Should I DJ?

We all have our own taste in music but we have a tougher choice when we decided which music to DJ. Depending on your location, you may be stuck with a particular style because of the acceptance of different genres of music. You may also be trapped into pigeonholed genres because of the avilability of music.

So this raises a very important question that many beginner DJs have: what music should I DJ?

Music Stuck In My Head: 3/07/10

Hey BDJ readers,

There’s been music stuck in my head for the last week, it’s driving me insane. No matter how many times I listen to a track, mix or album, I can’t get enough of it.

That’s why I want to add a new (occasional) section called Music Stuck In My Head (MSIMH) – eh? That’s a shitty acronym.

Top music charts are a great way to find new music and see what is currently hot within the Electronic Music industry.

Is Electronic Music Finally Becoming Popular?

There’s been a question on my mind for the year or two that I can’t seem to get out of my head: is Electronic Music becoming popular?

I say this because when I flip on the radio, it seems like Pop and Hip Hop songs are increasingly using Electronic Music as their basis now.

But is this a good thing?

I never hold myself to any high standard or pretentiousness but in some ways, it’s sickening to hear how so many artists are using dirty Electro basslines, filter effects and 4/4 beats as their background music now.

How Much Music Should You Listen To As A DJ?
