The other day I sat down in front of my T.V. at 6pm to turn on channel 10 and play my nightly game of Simpsons repeat roulette, and it was a good day because the episode they were repeating was the one where Homer gets elected as Springfield's sanitation commissioner. It's one of my favourite Simpsons episodes: just flat-out hilarious from start to finish. It also features cameos from every member of U2 as themselves, and their scenes are some of the episode's funniest. Now I know they didn't write any of the episode, but I found myself thinking "These guys, they're okay."

Hello, U2 reissue.

De_El · « **Reply #27 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 15:35 »

There was a Rusko/Deadmau5 beef? Fuck, how did I miss that? Rusko is so much more legit that deadmau5.

I recently heard this rusko person for the first time and it blew my mind. I was like "holy shit this song is fucking fantastic!"

then I heard the rest of his songs

ugh

Alex C · « **Reply #31 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 15:56 »

It's just all like WOBWOBWOBWOB.

I'll take Deadmau5 over Rusko any day of the week. He put on the best dance party I've ever been to at Sasquatch.

De_El · « **Reply #33 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 16:16 »

whaaaat bull
you just don't have enough interest to find the good tracks yourself, I bet

i'll save you some time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2b7qXUlnE&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LobSS8oSXVU <- this is probably my favorite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eskb898zyEc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcE2nGE2fIk I love this song for its crazy textural quality, the fact that you can dance to it is just crema

Anyway, I've seen Rusko and deadmau5 both over the course of this year and for my part I don't think deadmau5 rock's the fucking room anywhere on Rusko's level. Also, Rusko seems to attract a less douchey crowd, but that's a pretty localized observation and it may just be because deadmau5 is more popular.

Alex C · « **Reply #34 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 16:19 »

Rusko's highs are up there with anyone's but when he's shit he is total shit.

De_El · « **Reply #35 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 16:39 »

That's probably true. I dunno, I guess my main defense is that Rusko's made more tracks than deadmau5 that I care about and will listen to repeatedly, and I had more fun at his show.

The fact that I find dubstep to be possibly the most boring thing ever probably factors into my decisionmaking.

Totally defensible. Besides, we're talking about a DJ. For all I know he's polished some of the stuff I dislike into gems by now.

KvP · « **Reply #41 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 18:32 »

Actually I run into all sorts of people who think DeadMau5 is dubstep, which makes sense as the average person 'round here thinks this counts. Or this, for that matter. DeadMau5 is relatively lifeless Tech House but he seems to tour with brostep-y sorts. He's more interesting than Rusko usually is, but that's a low bar to clear. He's not producing bad MIA tracks, either.

When dubstep actually existed it was more like this. These days it's actually more House than Garage. You don't hear many claps on the 3s or snares on the 2s and 4s from the underground.

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Alex C · « **Reply #43 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 19:01 »

I don't like dubstep for the most part either, but every once in a while a track catches me off guard and I'll like it. Rusko was surprisingly entertaining when I saw him in Chicago but if I had to choose a dog in this fight I'd go with deadmau5. I just have a soft spot for house oriented music.

Anyway, you'll never catch me trying to categorize any of these guys definitively anyway. Deadmau5 had "Soma" and "Strobe" on the same damn album anyway so fuck if I know what to call him exactly. At what point do you identify these guys by the beats vs. what kind of effects they tend to favor?

KvP · « **Reply #44 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 19:16 »

See here. Not a lot has changed in the last two months, except more and more dubstep OGs are making House music.

In a nutshell
- Are the beats horribly unquantized (ie are they sloppy)? It's Wonky.
- Is it vaguely afro-caribbean in its percussion? Does it have a 4/4 beat? It's Funky.
- Is it just incessant, phallic bass slamming? It's brostep.
etc.

Alex C · « **Reply #45 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 19:22 »

I read your file and it was very nice but it doesn't change the fact that I'm dumb.

KvP · « **Reply #46 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 19:24 »

It's not that you're dumb, so much that people still refer to things as "dubstep" that is dumb. It's about as descriptive as "indie rock", these days.

scarred · « **Reply #47 on:** 03 Nov 2010, 19:25 »

but indie rock is my favorite genre

actually i think it's tied with electronica

Oh I didn't realize flying lotus was considered dubstep.

Do I call it wonky dubstep or just wonky now?
