This is the October 2004 Dubstep mix from Thinking
This mix I just downloaded at random one day when it was posted. A few people were talking in the thread so I checked it out. Later Tim L. and I would listen to this mix over and over and eventually begin tracking down dubstep music and listening to releases and mixsets on the daily. In 2005 I wrote my first dubstep tune.
Dubstep in 2013 is awful for the most part. The lower, looser, free spirited side of dubstep is gone. Replaced with shit that doesn't even resemble music. It's like a bunch of special fx back to back like a transformers movie with just the fighting scenes. Oh well. Thank you Thinking for exposing me and eventually all our friends as well as Dj Fresh and Bad Company for all the years of great music hosted on dogs on acid.
