Everyone in that room changed the game, and changed lives. The most powerful dubstep show ever! So thrilling to see this behind the scenes footage all these years later. Large up Kode9!
The Mary Anne Hobbs bit over Mala at 8:04 is so beautiful and evocative. When I hear her talking about something so strange, exciting and amorphous as dubstep in January 2006 I get this completely hair raising feeling. How many times in our lives will we be able to be in a place and time where something truly historic is happening, like here?
Incredible to see this footage!! 20:24 - I’m pretty sure this was the first time Mud had been played out live. So the reactions of Skream and everyone else was probably there first time too. Apart from the DMZ crew I’d imagine Pokes also has some sick lines in this set like “Everyone’s weapons come from Transition though, standard issue.” They didn’t show it here but in Loefah’s set the System track he plays out has a different vocal hit before the drop which wasn’t released on Tectonic which made me so gutted. That little vocal hit added so much in my opinion
Growing up in the states, this was the scene that got me into underground electronic music. I only had 2 friends who knew this stuff even existed. I would read every interview I could find. Seeing it like this, it looks exactly how I imagined it in my head.
I get a really strange and peculiar feeling watching this. I only got into dubstep in 2019 so obviously really late. This mix was naturally one of the first things I heard. Watching this feels like I'm intruding some ceremony or tomb, like I'm disturbing ghosts. I couldn't feel more like an outsider. This sound was not supposed to find me yet it's one of the genres that speaks the most to me. I'm here watching this feeling mournful for a moment in time that has long since passed.
Music is music mate whether you just heard it or hearing it for a very long time already! The most important thing is that you discovered it. These are the roots of UK dubstep in its truest form
I was into the scene at the time but I loved your description - the music all had this spectral quality, even at the time. I’m sure you know, but Dubstep was born out of genres like jungle and UK garage but it was as if it stripped them down to their very barest bones. Mark Fisher used the term “hauntological” and I think that’s perfect.
All good bro you knowing the dubstep roots is the most important thing. It’s respectful. It didn’t even make its way to the US raves until like 2011-2012. I remember the local promoters were only booking hardstyle artists up until the breakthrough around those years.
@@Menosfilms Absolutely, but by 2011-12 it had morphed into something a bit harder and dancier - some of it was still interesting but I was really in love with the earlier, more atmospheric, weirder dubstep, without the endless "drops".
Jesus Christ the Father and Holy Ghost!! Those were the times!! We had Kode9 over in Oslo around 2003 as he was still running the original Hyperdub blog. Such greaat litterature as these genre defying wobbles started rippling outwards . A lecture on sonic warfare that is available on my mixcloud page possibly.. Two riotous nights - I mean really riotous!!!e If I`m lucky there might be some footage from those nights... Thanks for the phat vibes, keepin it stricty OngyBongy since 2004
I joined the Electronic Music scene late in my youth. It wasn't until 2005 at 16 years old that i started to appreciate the sound design and production. At the time i was more into post hardcore and punk and saw 'bass' music and computer noise as something only Chavs enjoyed. It wasn't until a friend made me sit and listen to Goldies debut album and DJ Hype/Andy C Mixes that i started to appreciate the sound. Skip to 2008 and i discover Marie Anne Hobbs' 'Dubstep Warz' video, I was truly blown away. It wasn’t just a video to me; it felt like a vibrant snapshot of the evolution of bass music and the culture that surrounds it. But at that time the genre had evolved into a more aggressive and 'tear out' sound, which i enjoyed more than this minimalist production and sound. Its now 2024 and it still bewilders me how the original Radio 1 segment captures not only the sound but also the palpable energy and the sense of community that was thriving in the dubstep scene at that time. Seeing and listening to these guys, each with their own unique styles, helped me develop a deeper appreciation for the genre. I remember feeling a rush of excitement as I discovered the creativity and diversity that the electronic music scene has to offer. It really opened my eyes to a world I hadn’t fully explored before - and now, nearly 20 years later, I've discovered this behind the scenes video to one of the pivotal moments in bass music history!
s/o 2 dear Mary Anne Hobbs also, she still the same about passion to music, love too also for artists. but ofc no ego bullshit, etc. she great I swear, love her voice when she talking on music, btw
This is such an amazing insight into such an inspirational time, as much of a platitude that it is, these years of dubstep really did change my life. Big up and thank you to all involved
and then skrillex f*^&ed it all up ;) immense back then, I was lucky to be the engineer at Club Love in NYC which hosted many of these guys and was the epicentre of it stateside! peace all, hope it all returns
thank you for this ! magic. watching and hearing spaceape...that tune and the words that still carry truth 'strange how things seem to remain the same/ when all the while we a try fi make change/ watch how the mutants them fight and struggle/ pushing up themselves to find space inna the middle'
I was surprised I saw The Bug there, Thought this was a bit earlier than he was on the scene with Skeng but I'm guessing Kode9 was keeping an ear on all the acid dancehall stuff he was making earlier
I honestly think Dubstep was the last great musical movement we’ll ever see. I can’t think of anything recent that touches the mark like this. History.
whole thing is goosebumps. nearly 20 years ago now crazy stuff
Everyone in that room changed the game, and changed lives. The most powerful dubstep show ever! So thrilling to see this behind the scenes footage all these years later. Large up Kode9!

Night Vision is simply crushing. I feel Distance was so underrated.
Especially as his background is from metal - unlike the rest that came from garage/jungle etc. His first album is so so good. Sick dj as well!
Fallen (Vex'd Remix) is a masterpiece, a tune which evokes such a unique resonance
Jesus Christ the Father and Holy Ghost!! Those were the times!! We had Kode9 over in Oslo around 2003 as he was still running the original Hyperdub blog.
Such greaat litterature as these genre defying wobbles started rippling outwards .

havent seen mala this hype since someone tried to jack his slipmat
Reminds me of the best years of growing up. Mandem blasting the Red Stripe before it was a hipster drink! 😅 What an epic set.
Pure magic. Creators, originators and carriers of a whole genre. Big love!
