In a recent interview on Roots People , dubstep pioneer and sonic theorist Kode9, in the midst of speaking about the architectures of proliferation in regards to dubstep and its international growth, mentions three cities: London, and the infamous FWD Nightclub where Kode 9 performs and hosts as a resident DJ, New York, where Joe Fresh - Kode9 calls him "the president of dubstep!" - acts as America's ambassador to the sound, and Vancouver, where he played the Konspiracy Group's FWD001 (and yes, they named the concert series separately from the London Club) show back in 2003.

Some points of contention (you thought we would have answers by now? but we are traveling backwards - how can we?!?!):
