Rusko and Deadmau5 are both pretty soulless at this point, although they have both had their high points.

Beats Antique makes them both look like plastic wind-up toys, though.

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

Wait, really? (If this actually is sarcasm, forgive me, I'm only half paying attention to what's going on in here)

I don't really consider the plastic toys thing to be a drawback though. I'll probably know when the singularity hits when my J3 spontaneously spits out my new favorite album.

Legitimately. The electronic scene is so fragmented these days I don't know what's what.

or am I just dumb?

I mean really? in the sense that I had no idea Flying Lotus was considered dubstep either. Guess who has two thumbs and has no fucking idea what dubstep is!

Flylo's always been all over the place, but he's essentially a dubstep DJ who was weaned on J Dilla instead of whatever Grime and UK Garage records are considered seminal in South London. He pals around with the Hyperdub folk and he essentially mentors a lot of LA artists whose influences are much more apparent (Teebs / Gaslamp Killer / Tokimonsta / Eskmo etc.) He's also been called "IDM" but that's just what tends to happen when you include jazz influences in your electronic music. He's not a great example of any particular sound, but he's not really that great in general either. Daedalus does the same schtick better and has been at it for longer. He just doesn't have the blood pedigree.

Speaking of Tokimonsta, she just blew my mind with some info about my home state.

As far as I can tell, people who don't know anything about electronic music mostly just think dubstep is things with wobble bass. Which is sad. But I went to see Vaski and Excision and had a great time so I can't really be talking.

I like Flying Lotus. I'm more of the "Let's put this on in the background" type than someone who'll sit down with a pair of headphones and just absorb though. I don't really want music to hold my attention most of the time.

How many dubstep fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

It doesn't matter, it's still gonna wobble.

How many dubstep fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

100. One to screw it in and 99 to wait for it to drop.
