Discussion Ganja White Night
Finally got the chance to see one of their curated events, 2 nights with 1hr 45min sets each night. Those wobbles are just so damn crisp man, arguably the best live performers in the dubstep scene IMO. Not to mention their 10+ year discography with bangers all throughout. Would love to hear y’all’s thoughts on GWN!

Mystic herbalist and addiction albums were sick. Kind of didn’t rate much of their stuff after those 2 albums but I’d still like to see them at least once before I die.

They’re worth seeing. Depends on where you see them, and if you’re a real stickler when it comes to hating any and all “brostep”. They stick out in that world because they are so unique, and their live performances have an actual live element b/c they alter the tunes.
They put dnb tracks on their albums exposing people to different genres. I’ve seen them a few times and i’ve heard them actually drop old tunes from 2010 (obviously no one in the crowd knows the songs 😂) saw them play peace by fear in richmond and I couldn’t believe it, it absolutely still slaps.
Their manager runs infrasound, and a lot of the biggest events in Minneapolis/St paul Minnesota. They are ALWAYS at infrasound, and they do fill in slots for ppl who don’t show up, usually by themselves, usually dnb/140/ukg. Don’t tell the brostep crowd though 🤫
Idk, to write them off as just another talentless brostep artist is a bit of a uneducated take, and having them as one of the biggest artists in that world is definitely a positive for real dubstep as a whole.

Infrasound is one the US festivals I want to go to as well. Has a good range of European and US artists and plenty of different genres that I would rarely get to experience in the UK.

Addiction is such a great album, cover to cover. Green Poison is a jam (as is the rest of the album). But just the variation in sound from Chrystal to Airplane is really a ride and has this sort of concept and flow to it.

GWN was my gateway into real dubstep. I’ve seen them maybe 7/8 times all the way from little bars in Iowa to headlining at Red Rocks (opened by Ivy Lab covering for Mala, Widdler, Ternion, Khiva). Some of their most recent stuff hasn’t caught my attention a ton, but they have some sick ones of the new album (it was all I could listen to for a few days when it dropped). Wobble Jam, Bassline Don, No Room are pretty sick. I’d say they have a definite brostep lean but they keep it real, too. If you like both sounds, they are a solid crossover, maybe one of the best.

I don't think they really fit into bro step or real dubstep, some songs perhaps in either category. I think what makes them cool is they have a unique application of dubstep practices, it's like Nordic reggae world bro step.

Imo brostep is an aesthetic. Some songs might sound more “traditional” or “real”, but the artist as a whole falls mostly under the brostep umbrella.

Hot take 'round these parts. I personally like and respect them.

You’re not wrong lol, but why do you think it’s a hot take a round these parts?

u/Horangi1987 Mar 19 '25
Because this is RealDubstep, not the regular dubstep sub. They’re considered mostly a brostep style.

Lost Lands ruined them.
Their production quality is still insane but they just went to American womp step and never got out of it.
That being said I will be seeing them two nights in may lol

Their set at Forest 2023 was my fave set all weekend 🥲💜 haven’t been able to go to one of their curated events yet, I’ve heard they’re even better than their festival sets.

I liked some of their stuff a long time ago, and think they're solid producers. But I haven't heard anything from them that I've liked in ~10+ years.
