P A N

heya vanilla. i've got a question or two.

first of all, i know f*ck all about dubstep. when the term hit the town i grew up in, the people that knew of my electronic music exploits (which i just do for fun... kind of like one might paint pictures) told me i make dubstep. i didn't really think too much of it... i just mess around with sounds and it's fun. but recently i made a track using techniques i grabbed from a couple tutorials on how to make dubstep sounds. it's by no means a work of mastery but i'm rather fond of it.

anyway, what little dubstep that i've heard tells me that the definition of it is foggy at best. there seems to be a great many attributes to it, but no set of strict criteria that defines what a dubstep song should abide by. do correct me if i'm wrong, of course.

first question: if you wouldn't mind, my little ditty is 2:44, and if you'd listen to it (all the way through... cuz it changes) and tell me if it's dubstep that would be fantastic.

my second question revolves around the above-mentioned loose criteria. i see dubstep as infinitely open as far as the limits of creativity. 3 things i latch on to in dubstep are deep grooves, whacky, chaotic, aggressive and weird lines/beats, and a departure from regular song structure. so, do you have any recommendations that might fit that bill? the reason i'm asking is basically that i don't have the time to sift through millions of songs to find some that i like.

thanks lady!
