Well he lives in LA now innit?
There will be a dub artist this year
I can bet my left testicle on it
So theres a large chance it could be him
I'd rather it be caspa though
(if were talking about "big" dubstep artists)
Bassnectarbetterwill happen but hes not straight dubstep.
Rusko Live would be killer, no shitty MC please.
I can handle a few rewinds here and there.
The tent definitely needs some Chase & Status, agreed.
meh...dj set. i guess you can get tired of c&s pretty quick if they're doing an hour + performance. dj sets always seem so impersonal, especially when you know the artist is available to perform live.
RUSKO rules, cockney thugs, jahova and 2NAQ are amazing... caspa is also good, i love the i remember-deadmau5 remix... MORE ELECTRONIC MUSIC AT COACHELLA
dubstep in sahara = empty sahara
why the fuck does every single dubstep track sound exactly the same?
dubstep is utter crap.
because it wasn't 1+ hour of only dubstep. if you don't drop something else -breaks, dnb, etc- in your set, there's a chance a good amount of people will leave.
if you've seen these acts live you'd see that they mix all kinds of things into their set..
and if that was true, then people would be clamoring to get rid of the Dome, which was almost mostly dubstep and glitch hop, but people want that shit..
and dubstep is the fastest growing sub genre right now, Coachella is all about booking the next big things..
not much of a next big thing. it is the big thing now. dubstep has become the trendy shit everybody wants to be in.
i don't doubt there will be 'dubstep' artists at coachella next year. i'm just saying the dome might suit them better than the sahara tent.
i agree it's probably better suited for the dome, but i think a couple of the biggest dubstep names should play the Sahara (glitch hop too)..
i still consider it next big thing, cause it hasn't even come close to peaking yet, it's gonna take over the world..
post of the day.
who said it was the next big then?
I deffinitely agree its become pretty trendy, but that doesnt take away the fact that most of it is pretty damn amazing.
As for whether it should be in the dome or the sahara, well that depends on the artist.
Artists like Bassnectar, Caspa, Skream vs Benga (as it should be no other way), etc belong in the Sahara.
The smaller ones like Bar 9, N-Type, Mala, etc i could see filling up the dome and it being fine.
It all depends on the artists really.
BUT the dome WILL be in a better location this year.
IT. WILL. HAPPEN.
(or of course they make a short cut that goes straight from the sahara to the dome fitted with one of the moving sidewalk thingys)
haha...
oh and there already has been a dubstep artist in the Sahara...The Bug, last year. Major Lazer in dub more or less..
They'll be dubstep, and it will be dubstep that people know... Caspa & Rusko have sorta reached their peak with their success of Cockney Thug and Where's My Money... While I admire their work, if they were going to be at coachella it would have been last year... I think Benga is most fit for the sahara (if we're talking strictly big uk dubstep names) he has the most groove in his tracks... tacking on Skream with him wouldn't be a bad idea either though.
Bassnectar will tear down the tent... and it will be amazing.
The Bug wasn't in the Sahara, although he should have been.
I wont disagree that dubstep had a major impact on Coachella '09, But id like to see some larger dubstep artists in the Sahara at Chella '10.
Namely Caspa, Skream vs. Benga (only way), Bassnectar, and even Rusko (my least favorite out of the selection here but still good).
Yaa I can agree that Caspa and Rusko have reached their peaks, but it doesn't take away the fact that they have some bitchen music and they'd put on a great show.
FTR, im surprised they weren't at Coach last year as your right it would have been their year.
And since when was Major Lazer dubstep? fuck that.
Bassnectar is tired though. He plays everywhere all the time. And nobody in the Sahara wants to hear him preach inbetween tracks either.
