"blow up" = no
trip an MCB or RCBO = yes
Bass heavy music genres can pull high amperages for short bursts (when the bassline drops) and whilst a breaker typically has a degree of tolerance, there is a limit. A VZ5K or Infinite 8 MkII on a 16a breaker is a good example - it's not difficult to pull well over 20a with these size amplifiers.
In non-plc clubs where things often (but not always) tend to be done on a budget, it is not unusual to see "too many" amplifiers shared on individual breakers, therefore it can be quite easy for Dumbstep-DJ-Redlights-In-da-house to take a circuit out. But that shouldn't take the lighting circuits & the tills & chillers out. Although I guess a complete blackout makes better drama.
I bet you wished you'd never asked now Rabbitt!
Indeed!!!
Dubstep is huge down in bournemouht town and in university / student nights in general. We have a couple of purely dubstep & d n b nights during the week.
Cant say ive been to them as pure dubstep all night just isnt me, but it is extremely popular at the moment with the 18 / 20 somethings.
Dubstep commericial remixes, like the calvin harris, ellie goulding mixes etc are really effective, but some it can be complete rubbish.
If you've got proms up and coming I would definately get some commerical dubstep remixes as its highly likely some 'the lads' will ask for some.

I'm ok with dubstep. However I think it will be one of those fads that is likely to be forgotten about within the next 18 months or so, probably a couple more Katy B's then it will go chavy . . and then gone
Any one remember baseline?
Dubstep has been around for a while, I think it's just started to get popular because of Magnetic Man / Katy B and the La Roux - In For The Kill (Skream Lets Get Ravey remix) which I personally don't think is a good example of Dubstep.
I don't think a full night of Dubstep would be particularly entertaining ... if we've got an event like that we usually start off with some Electro / break type stuff and then move into Dubstep and finish off with some Drum and Bass.
