    I’ve actually started a night devoted to EDM and book tons of different talent “Shameless plug” I have a group coming in this time that does all live instrumentals but has a guitarist a guy on a korg piano and another guy in ableton dropping beats and loops live. I have myself who plays everything dubstep/dnb/moombahton/electro/dirty dutch(I fill what ever spot hasn’t been covered) I’ll book an all Dubstep guy. A guy who only plays originals. It’s slowly taking off as a really cool spot to be and it’s only the second night. I think it’s the underground crowd given a chance now to really shine and start something involving their own scene. There still isn’t a large dubstep crowd in NJ but in NYC and Philly it’s huge, I want to bring that edm scene to new jersey and I’m doing a pretty good job I feel 🙂

    Hey all, newcomer to the forums. My two penneth worth, I find the current mainstream surge around the world of Dubstep and it’s spawn Brostep interesting. Here in the UK, the birth place of Dubstep, it is obviously not new, having grown out as a sub-genre of UK Garage around 2000/2001. Mary Anne Hobbs and her Radio 1 Breezeblock show was an early supporter of the new music along with the 1Xtra UKG mix show. It is interesting to see that over a decade later Dubstep (or a cousin of) is permeating the UK Top40 charts on a significant scale. I’m not sure I like Brostep and find Skrillex and similar artists’ tracks over produced, which is probably just me looking back with rose tinted specs at the underground origins.

    As a EDM Dj also, I can definitely tell when people ask for Dubstep, about 85% of the time they are asking for Brostep. I could put on a Rusko, Chrispy, or Nero song and receive a response of “No, not this”.

    This.
    I find if I play actual dubstep, people here don’t really get down to it, but they’ve been loving the brostep sound for the last couple months. (mind you the electronic scene in my city is just starting to get more mainstream. mainstream edm like mau5 and skrillex still isn’t really on the radio here).

    Here in venezuela dubstep seems to be growing at a fast pace, i can hear cars with powerful sound systems playin it, people putting it on facebook, and it seems to be a lot of new underground parties that play dubstep and drum & bass out of the blue although is not something you will hear ina bar or nightclub
