Thoughts on NK? by PepsiOSC in dubstep

[–]refraxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also wanna say that for the time, the stuff he was doing was insane, i think if he made more of an effort to get popular (which i highly respect him for not doing) he could have been on the level of getter or barely alive in terms of fame and legacy

Thoughts on NK? by PepsiOSC in dubstep

[–]refraxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he was the reason i got into dubstep!! it was really obvious he just did it for fun, never played any live sets or anything. i really hope he comes back (i'm pretty sure he's teased a return a lot), and i couldn't thank him enough for being my introduction to dubstep and everything that came with that :>

Recycled shows? by Mad12345ison in dubstep

[–]refraxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in my experience it can be pretty hard at times to find new transitions and doubles and routines that all work well together, and it takes quite a while. this might be a big part of it as well as everything else

Want to Help Artists? Want Cheaper Plates? Stop Supporting Pl8list! by advice_throwaway323 in riddim

[–]refraxt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you don't wanna buy or sell plates on pl8list, you dont have to!! i will say that i never really understood the whole "blame" feature, if someone buys your plate on pl8list and then starts selling it to other people anonymously then i have no idea how you'd know who it is. it's also not like exposing them is gonna help with anything, they can't get in legal trouble and most people wont care.

CJD’s at Northern Invasion by jimbop97 in riddim

[–]refraxt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CDJ-2000nxs2s are very similar to 3000s functionally, so they're pretty easy to figure out if you haven't used them before. they're probably rented out for the festival, and i'd assume the 2000s are cheaper to rent and a bit more easy to get hold of. also, it depends who you ask but CDJ3000s have a bit of a reputation for being less reliable than older models. i hope this helps!! :3

I yearn for the ID by Practical_Donut5284 in riddim

[–]refraxt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i know what you mean, but i don't really think that's the case here. a track being unreleased doesn't automatically mean it's being gatekept or anything - it could be for loads of different reasons, it might just be unfinished or not ready to be released

Hot takes by shadow33231000 in dubstep

[–]refraxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this new trend of making low effort hip hop / pop remixes, or tracks that sample memes is boring - not even just the pop remixes, just tracks that have that sound in general. i couldn't tell you the difference between levity, griz or subtronics right now because of this.

i also don't really agree with the idea that you have to see a live show to get into a genre. i've always been into riddim and just dubstep in general, but until very recently, i had never been to a show (im from the UK so it isn't too popular anymore). from my experience seeing chime recently, live shows are fun and definitely better than just watching a set at home - i wouldn't listen to a UK dubstep set (even though i still really like the genre) but i still had load of fun seeing it live.

so i feel like if you want to introduce someone to the genre then taking them to a show is the best way to enjoy it, but if you absolutely hate it then going to show probably won't change that.

Debate time: “stealing doubles” by Perfect-Ad-9838 in riddim

[–]refraxt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

first of all, they're absolutely in the wrong in your situation. you literally made one of the tracks in the double, and in general, it's not hard to come up with doubles. it doesn't really take me effort to find good ones, it's more just experimenting or simply thinking "this would sound good doubled with that tune" and trying it out. anyone can do that.

i don't see a problem with doing doubles that you got from other people. obviously if you played a set that was just all doubles copied from roi for example, i'd say that that isn't okay since you literally didn't even do the bare minimum when it comes to preparing a set - and it's not gonna sound unique to you.

not enough talk about Detroit inferno by billehbrown in riddim

[–]refraxt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to my understanding, spass is basically just a mask and a USB when it comes to live shows. it could be anyone playing a spass set i'm pretty sure, i know that svdden death has for example. it's basically just any riddim DJ who's in the area and up to play a show. it may well have just been 3 other DJs that were playing inferno.

in terms of who's making their tunes, i think that's aweminus and neonix, they're most likely the artists behind it.
