What ambient or dubstep do you listen to?
|
Dubstep is indeed taking its first baby-steps right now, but its interesting to see how much potential it carries, especially with the great amount of new artists that have appeared recently. Even here, I can be picky, because I don't want it to sound too influential - I want originality. There's a few artists who can accomplish that; Kromestar, Skream, Jme, Geoim, Blackdown, Burial, Kode 9, Darqwan, just to name a few.
Ambience-wise, I pretty much grew up with Aphex Twin, albeit he ranges from a wide array of genres, only a few of his albums can be considered ambience. Most would fall under ambient techno, I guess. There's Moby too, with some of his earliest albums, still love them. A few years back I discovered Susumu Yokota, which sort of blew me away for the remainder of the year. Having dug up his earliest albums a few months ago, I was able to truly appreciate his music. He's pretty damn good!
