Seems like the industry is clamouring to over hype James Blake.

really? i love his sound.

If they're talking about the drum n bass/dubstep Nero, then I'd have to agree. But I can't speak for the others.

i dunno anyone on this list, aside from Nero. and even then i only know the name

Interesting that they would choose Nero now as an artist to "blow up" - they've been around for about 7 years. James Blake is the obvious one, even though I reckon he'll be putting out EP's for awhile to come

Who are these people? Crazy Brits.

Yuck

They get it right a lot though tbh

They get it right because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. People read it and go OMG THEY MUST BE GUD and rush out and buy. Then they get big and the BBC is all like LOOK H OW GOOD WE ARE!

Naked and Famous are pretty groovy

Electronica is getting to be a big big big deal. Ifso facto Nero is going to be a big big big big big deal.

Not hard to do, but I agree with the pick.

Ifso facto.

Explain how its only now becoming a big big big deal

Raves are starting to go mainstream. It's a sub-culture that's wriggling its way into mainstream culture. In a big way. iGeneration, yo.

Except its been like that for the last 10 years

I'd say I'm starting to see a bigger buzz about it. My hometown is starting to get a huge dubstep/dance scene that didn't exist ten years ago, and I'd assume the same is true for other places.

Gareth liddiard, bitches.

winsomniac is ahead of the curve

Rave is dead.

"Yuck"?

Badass.

Warpaint for the muthafuckin win.

the sound of 2010 list was the entire reason ellie goulding is as big as she is now.

It's cool Nero got recognised though, I think they chose now because they've started making slightly more radio friendly music and it's getting a decent amount of airtime.

everyone is listening to dubstep now...even though 99.9% of people have no idea what dubstep is and then get angry when I say what they are listening to is indeed NOT dubstep... I hate humans.

to be fair, dubstep is a pretty varied genre

no offence rabbit but you sound like one of these dubstep elitists that are knocking around the internet at the moment

James Blake is the obvious one, even though I reckon he'll be putting out EP's for awhile to come

Yuck and The Vaccines are pretty good from what I've heard (a few songs from each)

Dubstep elitists ?

/I come crashing through the ceiling

i bet if couldwinarabbit listened to some really filthy, grimy dub he'd enjoy the hell out of it.

how did they do this list

the naked & famous are already pretty big down here in aus. you can't go to a party without getting down to young blood at least once during the night.

Could say the same for a lot of the posters on the dubstepforum

Warpaint and The Vaccines are the only ones I've heard of, but from what I've read they seem good

Esben and the Witch toured here in the States with Foals. They have an interesting sound
