Surely that's not this Kyla?

edit: After listening again it sounds absolutely nothing like her. Oh well, good excuse to post a far superior track.

I guess I'd call it Electro House or BroHouse.
Regarding dubstep I think the thread will agree that actual dubstep (Mala) is great, modern (American) dubstep is mostly bad but can be good, and brostep (the kind of "filthy poo poo" bros on Facebook link you to) is terrible

All dubstep is "real dubstep". I mentioned this in the UK Bass thread before but I'm starting to find this "real dubstep" narrative just as tedious as the "filth" dudes, since those propagating it never seem to namedrop an artist more recent than those that broke out in 2005-2006. It strikes me as an attempt to show off one's enlightened status while still not actually knowing about anything more than a handful of canonical acts.

There were a few conversation on FB regarding this article and I think its a load of bullshit. First of all I think James Blake is extremely boring and overrated. Not saying hes a bad producer but people treat him like hes some sort of dubstep messiah. I think his EM was pretty bad, and seriously, mixing snoop dog and classical music and "post dubstep" does not make you deep and eclectic. It comes off as forced and extremely pretentious. This is all my opinion of course but if this guy came out and said he was trolling everybody I would not be surprised. People are eating this dudes poo poo up and I have no idea why. Am I just missing something, I don't get it.

Also why would he publicly knock a huge group of artists so openly. I know people who got into dubstep through skrillex excision etc and now are into much more different EDM and are very involved in their local community. I know people who like the "bro step" but would have otherwise never listened to EDM. Its the same thing with deadmau5 and tiesto. The more exposure the better.

I remember diplo once said something along the lines of "I don't care much for the mainstream dubstep but anything that gets kids into the music, and producing beats is ok by me, its through stuff like this that they start tinkering with music production and create the next thing"

Personally I think the bro step is obnoxious and totally not my thing, but some of the artists have incredible production value, are amazing performers, and have tapped into a young audience that perviously knew edm as "that techno music u do e to and dance with glowsticks"

Seriously if you love what you do and you're confident with yourself people will see that and follow... why do you have to openly make statements that say "gently caress all of you fakers Im the real poo poo trust me"

I think this argument is a little tiresome. Why is more people necessarily better? Why do we need ambassadors to the mainstream? I'm not an elitist; I don't believe in going out of your way to avoid attention or exclude people. But I don't think bringing enlightenment to people is necessarily praiseworthy. There is something to be said for having to find it for yourself.

edit: This should not be misconstrued as advocacy for that boring fucker James Blake's diatribe.

I think his point wasn't that having more people is necessarily better. It just increases the chances that one of the kids that got into the music because of Skrillex or whoever might go on to create something great as a result.

In that case it's probably exactly things like that James Blake interview that will turn Skrillex fans onto the fact that there's other stuff out there.

What is the consensus in this thread about minimal electronic music? I hardly see it mentioned in this thread, maybe it is located else where?

You may want to be a little more specific because 'minimal electronic music' can probably refer to at least a dozen different things.

Check out this Kaskade/Skrillex song off of the new Kaskade album. It is super disco and pretty loving awesome. It would be really awesome to see Skrillex do more stuff like this because you can't argue with the quality of his production even if you hate dubstep. Oh yah, this is not dubstep...at all.
