What ambient or dubstep do you listen to?
I am nosey for everyone's taste because most people who say such know nothing of the genres they speak of just to seem mad underground. No offence or anything, but most people who say they listen to ambient can probably only say they've heard of Brian Eno by name, and perhaps have downloaded an Elivium album or two. I only ask because a few weeks ago you posted a blog saying you were looking for new music
As for dubstep, it's a budding genre, and in order for me to love, it has to evolve. It's but a baby atm. I like the artists who incorporate chiptune in their sounds though, such as Zomby and Rustie. Some artists like Ital Tek and Boxcutter and getting it right though, and give me my little interest in the genre at present
Let's do big genre lists and provide explanations proving ourselves to be mega awesome.
Ambient: I was born to Roger Eno's Voices, fact. I've been brought up on it and I listen to ambient albums before I sleep at night.
Drill'n'bass/IDM/whatever the fuck people call it: easy progression on from ambient. Essentially the marriage of ambient and glitch, or ambient tonality.
Screamo: this was last years discovery. Lots of it is pure shit, but when you dig deep you find good things in every genre. Sed Non Satiata, The Kidcrash, Pyramids, Cease Upon the Capital etcetc
Postrock: A coming and coming genre, and it has come and gone so to speak. The genre is pretty cold right now, but being postrock, somethings gotta give, and we've gotta get one really great postrock record coming out soon enough.
Chiptune: I love chiptune. Bit Shifter, I, Cactus and Animal Style are on heavy rotation and the moment.
Sludge metal: It's best when it's more droney and less blacksabbathy. Blacksabbathy stuff sounds cheesey to me. The Abominable Iron Sloth are my favourite sludge act, though they kind of mix it with hardcore and things
and that's all I can say off of the top of my head. I'll pretty much listen to anyting if it sounds good.
