A slammin sound system never hurts either. I've heard that Melbourne is the sh*t - hope to make it there next time. I am also glad that the DubStep scene in general has shown that it can embrace different vibes from harsh minimalism to the fun bouncy garage beats that were its predecessor.

It is here in Chicago too. The monthly Bass Goes Boom night is usually packed out with enthusiastic dancing fans. One of the great things about the dubstep scene is that there's a core following who are all about it no matter what. Some booties can sway to even the most ploddingly slow and minimal beat but I'm thinking outside the box of the core dubstep contingent. When a music becomes too introverted and high on itself it can become overly intellectualized/structured/controlled and lose it's exciting edge (see drum&bass). Thankfully that doesn't seem to be happening in dubstep. For a while it was becoming more and more formulaic (minimal/atmospheric/plodding beat), but now it seems to be busting out in all directions, including the more dancey, less shoe-gazer one. I'm hearing elements of soca, house, reggae and other fun rhythms coming back in and it's good. Glad to hear dubstep is alive and well in Sidney. It is here in Chicago too.

Not down here in OZ. Sydney's regular Dubtep night, VOID has been jam packed the last couple of months. [Big ups Flack for coming to Sydney BTW!] “can be challenging to booties on the dance-floor”
