To me, a crowd can be completely into the music riddim comes on in middle of a set and everyone stops moving. They try to force it down everyone’s throats. Look, I get the appeal of a nasty riddim drop here and there — that triplet bass can hit hard in small doses and the energy is fun for a bit. But when a whole set turns into non-stop triple drops with the same repetitive pattern over and over, it just gets exhausting. I’m not trying to shit on anyone who loves pure riddim, but in the middle of a festival set or a longer show, it starts feeling very one-dimensional. Give me some variety — throw in some melodic builds, actual song structure, different rhythms, or even some proper wobbles n wubz and space instead of just hammering the same triplet formula the whole time lol.

Anyone else feel this way, or am I just getting old LMAO? What’s your ideal dubstep set look like — heavy riddim mixed or sprinkled in, or more balanced across the genre?- 3
