The first website is that of Dub Fiend and is on MySpace. He uses this as his main means of distribution and advertising. On it there are many of his tracks to listen to for promotional purposes. The layout of his MySpace is dark and slightly urban, which goes well with the type of music produced by Dub Fiend. It’s also minimal which suggests that his music is also similar; we can see this to be correct when we listen to tracks such as “the beginning of the end.” Importantly, it has his contact details and his most recent sets. The feeling I get from it is that it is not only a means of distribution, but highly focussed around advertising his name as a DJ/producer. There is a small section which shows who dub fiend is associated with, in “my friends.” This helps him to be easily categorised into a Dub step genre as well as to make friendly connections within the industry.
The second website I have chosen to view is “bare dubs records”. Similarly to that of the site of Dub Fiend’s it is minimalistic and uses similar colours, which makes me think that black and dark blues are particularly urban colours therefore used a lot of the time on sites such as these. On “bare dubs records” there is a small write up on their
purpose and a little about their history. Its main focus is to sell dub step music but as a result of this advertise the artists more by having links to MySpace pages of theirs.
