For example, a rarely play music from the same artists unless they\u2019ve released something truly phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>On of the other rules I try to adhere to is not to play music from a specific genre of electronic music to often. That\u2019s important because otherwise I could easily play breakbeat tracks on <b>solipsistic NATION<\/b> week after week. But sometimes I follow that rule to rigidly. Take this week\u2019s show, for example, which features a mix made up entirely of dubstep tracks.<\/p>\n<p>I love dubstep. It has many moods: dubstep can be playful, spiritual or downright menacing and the bass and the drums always moves the music forward. But I have to watch myself or I\u2019ll play dubstep on the show constantly. I followed my one of my rules so blindly that I realized that it\u2019s been over a year since I\u2019ve done a show dedicated to dubstep. That\u2019s much too long!<\/p>\n<p>So I present to you on this week\u2019s <b>solipsistic NATION<\/b> a mix of dubstep tracks. Some artists, like <a title=\"Ebola eMusic page\" href=\"http:\/\/podshowoffers.com\/emusic.php?show=nation&amp;target=album\/Ebola-Mutant-Dubstep-vol-1-MP3-Download\/11332909.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ebola<\/a> and <a title=\"Cardopusher web page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spectraliquid.com\/shop\/cardopusher.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cardopusher<\/a> are more aggro and experimental, while other artists like <a title=\"Bionics iTunes page\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewAlbum?id=310247532&amp;s=143441\" target=\"_blank\">Bionics<\/a> and <a title=\"Frescoe web page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DJ-Rupture-Uproot-The-Ingredients\/dp\/B001BGE96I\" target=\"_blank\">Frescoe<\/a> are more traditional in their approach to dubstep ( considering that dubstep has only been around for a couple of years makes that an absurd statement \u2013 dubstep hasn\u2019t been around long enough to have an established tradition). There\u2019s something for everyone and I know you\u2019ll dig this week\u2019s show!<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself craving more dubstep then you\u2019ll want to <a title=\"solipsistic NATION No. 83: Dubsonic web page\" href=\"http:\/\/solipsisticnation.com\/?p=137\">listen to the documentary<\/a> I did about dubstep labels featuring music from the likes of <a title=\"Boka Records website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bokarecords.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Boka Records<\/a>, <a title=\"Lodubs website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lodubs.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lodubs<\/a> and more! I\u2019ve also done a show <a title=\"solipsistic NATION No. 46: Grime + Dubstep = GrimeStep web page\" href=\"http:\/\/solipsisticnation.com\/?p=94\">grimestep show<\/a> featuring an with Leo Olofsson of <a title=\"Grimestep International website\" href=\"http:\/\/leoolofsson.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\">Grimestep International<\/a> and the lads from <a title=\"The UK Connection website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/theukconnection\" target=\"_blank\">The UK Connection<\/a>.
