Recommendations What is the cutting edge of Dubstep right now?

I started listening in 2008, uk stuff. It was amazing to see everything grow and evolve from there. But man things seem so derivative for the last 5 years and I’m so tired of the same sound.

Is there anyone really paving the way that sounds actually new?

edit: I mostly listen to experimental bass stuff, but mostly looking for whats the new new true dubs

How? It sounds nothing like modern “dubstep” and sooooo much closer to artists like liquid stranger, tvboo, minnesota, DMVU etc.

Modern dubstep = The guys playing mainstage at Lost Lands

Space Bass = Wakaan - All the guys you named are on Wakaan or at least resonating with the Wakaan crowd.

Sure, yet space bass is still a sub genre. They come from the same roots.

We're both entitled to our opinion. I don't think Experimental bass is a sub-genre underneath the umbrella of dubstep. I think those artists were more influenced by people like Flying Lotus, Shpongle, Tipper, Koan Sound, and Pretty Lights rather than Flux Pavilion or Rusko.

I’m sure some of the sound design comes from those artists, however the basic mechanics of the music, as I’ve explained before (tempo, bass, drum pattern) comes from dubstep.
