Bumping this, I was hoping there'd be a much bigger Dubstep scene here, but it seems like this stuff isn't much more popular in NYC than it was on the west coast (especially SF). Anyway, I'm seeing The Bug with Warrior Queen, 6Blocc, and possibly Darkstar soon, so I'm excited about that. Not to mention the Trouble & Bass guys are throwing a couple parties, although it seems like they've kind of moved on to other genres (Bassline, Funky House, etc.).
Also saw Flying Lotus a couple nights ago, and if you get the chance, see him! Listening to his recorded stuff I thought his show was going to be pretty laid back, but aside from some live stuff he did on his laptop, most of his set was just him DJing Dubstep (a lot of it I didn't recognize, but I did pick out some Kode9, Milanese, and some other stuff). Really awesome.
