There's a lot in this post. Or search elbo.ws

Those two you like are two of my least favorite tracks by him, so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the rest. I'll hit you with a mix if you want.

they don't have enough material bc a) I believe that's the first Dubstep song they've done...

and b) their dnb stuff is kinda hit or miss to me and there isn't enough for a mix I dont think.

This Bizzy B comp is so fucking dope.

no whey.

most people who post in this thread have pretty great taste.. but dubstep is gaining popularity at an insane rate in north america (vancouver at least) & it seems like 80% of the people are content with listening to jump up d&b with different drum programming. i like a great "wobbler" every once in a while like everyone (even rusko!).. but exclusively listening to those tunes is a headache bruv. i guess i shouldn't really give a fuck.. but i feel like i have to preface myself as soon as i mention i'm a dubstep fan

joker, starkey & skream are three dudes who definitely appeal to that crowd that can help breakdown barriers & expand shit tho

[quote]Image

Blackdown: So when did you start DJing?

Marcus NASTY: It was about 2000, because I was playing garage, 2step garage.

B: Obviously youג€™re pretty well known as the head of N.A.S.T.Y. Crew, but in those times what were you playing as a DJ personally?

MN: The 4x4 stuff, Sticky, Jameson and then it kinda evolved into grime because Jammer stepped in with his tunes.

B: So when did you start getting interested in house?

MN: Well basically, when the grime scene died there was nothing for no one to do, everyone started playing old school garage and stuff. People were playing house but it was taking ages for everyone to get into it. I thought, ג€˜hang on, this ainג€™t us, this aint our music,ג€™ because we came from grime, jungle, garage. So to go to house it was like ג€˜whoah, this is a bit too, erm, soft.ג€™

MN: So I started asking all the UK producers, ג€˜have you started to make house?ג€™ and they said, ג€˜we have but it donג€™t sound like house.ג€™ So I said ג€˜just send it to me, let me see what it sounds like and Iג€™ll see where youג€™re going wrong.ג€™ So they sent me all their stuff and bit by bit I started playing it all and I ainג€™t looked back since. I just took everyoneג€™s stuff and started playing it on radio and Iג€™m taking from Donaeג€™o, to Crazy Cousins, Naughty: everyone. Even down to that Apple tune ג€œMr Beanג€: originally that was made as a grime tune.

B: Yeah ג€œMr Beanג€ and ג€œSeigeliserג€ were a bit a head of itג€™s time yג€™know?

MN: Yeah yeah, definitely and itג€™s still one of the top tunes right now. Thereג€™s a vocal of it about this year, ג€œAre You Gonna Bang Doeג€ by Funky D.

B: Are you playing that tune at the moment?

MN: I do but thatג€™s because thereג€™s a little hype for it in Napa but to be quite honest I donג€™t rate it because itג€™s like, itג€™s so simple itג€™s going to encourage other MCs who ainג€™t got no talent to talk shit on good tunes. Screaming ג€œOi you/are you gonna bang?ג€ isnג€™t really saying anything. And I think itג€™s quite rude as well. But because thereג€™s a hype around it, I will play it.

B: Yeah, I much prefer the original instrumental. So, when you said ג€˜the grime scene diedג€™ what year did you mean?

MN: Well I wouldnג€™t say it died but the MCs involved werenג€™t getting much help from certain DJs. In a grime rave youג€™ll find the artists arguing on stage. Itג€™s not the ravers. Nine times out of ten theyג€™ll be up on stage warring each other, thatג€™s what killed the grime scene. Added to that it turned from a dance music into a hip hop sound. That is what killed it. So it turned into more about the MCs than the music. Youג€™ll go to a grime rave and thereג€™ll be 20 minutes of jumping about and telling each other to ג€˜suck their mumsג€™ and that will be it. And then the rest of the rave will be bashment and r&b.

B: Or it will get locked off hahaג€¦

MN: And everyone has a part to play from Wiley to Lethal B ג€“ all those little wars just fucked everything up. No one wants to see big arsed men arguing on stage. That is what killed it, nothing else. Thereג€™s no one else to blame for it. Itג€™s not the industry: it was all our fault.

B: Itג€™s weird because a lot of those artists think thatג€™s exactly what grime should be. And a lot of grime fans think thatג€™s grime at its best.

MN: Yeah but thatג€™s because thatג€™s what theyג€™ve grown into. But what it was before was we could go down raves, hear a couple of lyrics, couple of bars. But then it just changed.

B: How do you see MCs in funky?

MN: Some of the grime MCs can not make the crossover. Like Ghetto does not sit right on funky. But at the same time Skepta, JME and Frisco do. So I dunno, thatג€™s a tricky one. I think the way everyoneג€™s jumped on this electro thing and tried to crossover, that is going to be the nail in the coffin.

B: Funny you say that because I much prefer grime MCs on funky than when they do electro. Most electro with grime vocals, with the exception of Wiley ג€œWearing My Rolex,ג€ just feels wrong.

MN: It is. I think it is wrong. I think they should stick with it and get on with it. You see like with the bassline scene, all the MCs fucked up the scene, but now theyג€™ve gone backwards, made it more vocal and now itג€™s coming back up and thatג€™s what grime should have done but they didnג€™t. They chose to jump ship instead.

Who didnג€™t help the most, was Cameo. He was classed as one of the top guys in the grime scene and he just jumped ship straight away. Westwood is now the number one grime DJ, imagine that?

B: Not Logan?

MN: No, Logan donג€™t even come close. Westwoodג€™s doing more for the grime scene than Logan all day long.

B: Haha. Westwood is pretty big but I rate Logan more for grime.

MN: Everyone rates Westwood because he doesnג€™t jump from scene to scene. He hasnג€™t done what Cameoג€™s done, going from scene to scene. Westwoodג€™s tried to help every scene. Heג€™s even tried to help the funky scene. He done a Westwood TV and he made me bring all the funky, grime, dubstep and bassline MCs in one room (part 1).

B: So how do you look back on the early N.A.S.T.Y. Crew era?

MN: I think I made a lot of mistakes. I went away for a little while and then came back. Instead of dealing with things diplomatically and listening to each individual member and their problems, I listened to the original members who were in fact jealous of the new members, who were in fact doing better. I acted on what they said and I shouldnג€™t have. Me kicking Jammer out of N.A.S.T.Y. Crew was a big mistake, and I will say that happily. Everyone who was in N.A.S.T.Y., Iג€™m now friends with. Weג€™ve all sat down and spoke about it. For the break up of N.A.S.T.Y. I still blame Sharkey because of jealousy. But in any crew you can only have two top merkers who get bookings ג€“ and that causes the rest of the crew to have bad feelings.

B: So everyone who was in N.A.S.T.Y. youג€™re cool with? D Double, Footsie, Ghetto, Kanoג€¦

MN: D Double was at my birthday bash but the one I havenג€™t seen in a couple of years is Kano.

B: But heג€™s on a different path these daysג€¦

MN: I think he tried to be a diva and I think it worked against him because now heג€™s not really doing much, at all.

B: But itג€™s cool that you get on with the rest of themג€¦

MN: Yeah Iג€™ve been with them all in Napa, well Jammerג€™s gone back now, but we can talk to each other and where we went wrong. All the grime lot do work together, apart from the ones who kinda blew upג€¦ Wiley, Lethal kinda keep themselves to themselves now. Dizzee.. but Dizzee does come back and try help everyone.

B: Thatג€™s good because one of the problems with the grime ג€˜sceneג€™ is the members often donג€™t help each other.

MN: Everyone was against each other. ג€œLetג€™s clash.ג€ And even I went along with that and that is not the way, that is what killed grime. All the ג€˜letג€™s go and merkג€™ shut down the scene. But I always say this: we are to blame. Thereג€™s no one else to blame. Itג€™s no one elseג€™s fault: itג€™s our fault. Entertainers who were doing shit raves: the last big Eskimo dance in SE1 ended in total mahem because we were all fighting on stage. Wiley threw bottles at the bouncers, the bouncers tried to beat up Kano, we were fighting SLK: it was just pandemonium. The crowd got involved, they started throwing bottles at the bouncers, they rushed the bar, they rushed the cloakroom. It was just out-and-out war, I swear there were three different rooms full of fights.*

B: Yeah, Eskimo dance was pretty legendary.

MN: It was the biggest and the last one. That was the end of the grime scene right there.

B: I think it would be unfair to only talk about grime with you as youג€™ve done a lot in funky recently. So how do you feel about all the attention funky is getting right now?

MN: I think itג€™s good. Personally I think we need to differentiate between the vocal funky stuff and this new MCing on funky stuff, because that is what is kinda putting people off funky at the minute. The ג€œMigrane Skank,ג€ ג€œOi You Are You Gonna Bang,ג€ ג€œHead Shoulders Knees and Toesג€ ג€“ all that stuff itג€™s just rubbish. Itג€™s people trying it: thereג€™s no future in what theyג€™re doing. Peope like Versatile and Donaeג€™o, theyג€™re the future in what theyג€™re doing, theyג€™re actually making tunes theyג€™re not just making up nursery rhymes and sticking them on tunes, so I rate them guys.

B: I agree with you on the nursery rhyme thing but also just making UK funky sound like US house is a really hard route to go down as well, because itג€™s really hard to compete with them boys as theyג€™re already established.

MN: What I think is we need to keep it to ourselves which is a house base but itג€™s got influences from grime, jungle and garage. All the influences that were there before and thatג€™s what makes our sound, our sound. Thatג€™s why it will grow and weג€™ll be able to play our music in other countries. All those other DJs who think theyג€™re gonna get somewhere playing house or minimal-tech, theyג€™re not going to get no where. Theyג€™ll only ever be big in England, because theyג€™ll never book us to play US or German music, theyג€™ll just book their top guys. And that is now even more obvious because me as the first person who just played strictly UK funky ג€“ I play all over the world whereas the others donג€™t and they were the so-called top boys before.

B: Yeah I agree 100%: it would be hard to be bigger in US house than Masters At Work or someoneג€¦

MN: Exactly. Youג€™ve got a lot to compete against, and as I said, itג€™s not our music. I think everyone should stick together andג€¦ you see Cameo, heג€™s a major problem. Heג€™s the guy that will take your tune, play it no matter of the quality, and wont even try to tell you ג€˜you should do better.ג€™ When that ג€œOi Youג€¦ג€ tune came out, because it had a little hype he jumped straight on it, bringing the geezer in. Fair enough, heג€™s improved a bit now but that is not the way forward because it encourages people to not bother, so just come up with any random crap. I got a tune in the post the other day called ג€œLipsing,ג€ about kissing girls and people who deny kissing girls, and itג€™s quite fun, I think itג€™s better than ג€œMigrane Skank.ג€

B: Is that the Scorcher thing?

MN: Is that Scorcher? Ahhahaג€¦ that is actually quite funny. People will go mad. But I dunno, all the nursery rhyme stuff needs to stop. All the MCs just talking about themselves and their cars on tunes needs to stop. Just need to make. Proper. Tunes. And then this ting will go on and weג€™ll have our own worldwide scene. There are people in the US. People send me tunes from Toronto. Spainג€¦ all over the place. So people are getting involved with the funky scene. Itג€™s a big movement we just need to keep it constructive.

B: Obviously you were on D

It gets a lot of hate from dubstep 'enthusiasts,' but personally i feel some of the hardest, rawest dubstep out there contains that signature midrange 'wobble' sound a long with gigantic basslines. Yeah there's tons of kids nowadays extorting that sound and pigeon holing the genre, but you can expect that to happen with everything. Still, lots of other artists/groups consistently put out dope material. For instance: Bar9, 16bit, FuntCase, Koan Sound, Stenchman, Chasing Shadows, Borgore, Cookie Monsta, Vaski, etc. Skream is a hit or miss for me and Rusko/Caspa comes through every once in a while. Canada is also blowing up with fools like Datsik (some of the heaviest wobbled out grittiness right now), Excision, Downlink, some DZ...

The genre's pretty broad though and I try to appreciate other areas of the music as well. Joker got his own sound and I can dig a good deal of what he puts out. Though I'll risk catching flak by stating that I loathe more of the ambient or super dubby step that gets praised by all the true euro-music purists like Burial, Digital Mystikz...or even shit like Martyn, Zomby, 2562 (it's boring to me, calm down.) I was never a fan of DnB though, so that's probably a significant factor in my taste.
