I like Deadpool's comments about dubstep in the film Deadpool 2. After I saw that film at the cinema I went home and listened to a shuffle of dubstep music. It was totally ace. Are Chase and Status dubstep? I know they're commercial but I like some of their stuff.
Chase and Status dabbled in all sorts of stuff, though I kinda see them as taking the heavier, distorted synths and breakbeats of neuro drum'n'bass and melding that with the poppier instincts of Fatboy Slim. They certainly attempted to align themselves with the nascent dubstep scene, though they have always been notorious trendhoppers, and it certainly wasn't unusual to hear 'Eastern Jam' in dubstep sets as the genre began to become the dominant club sound (2007-2010). But they remind me more of the heavy electro of Noisia, borrowing some of the more deliberately harsh sounds of brostep without ever really committing to dubstep for reasons other than its popularity. And it worked, as they found themselves at the top of festival main stage bills for a few years, albeit whilst never gaining any respect from those in the scene. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
