So anyone like Dubstep?

[tehnoobshow]

Right now aside from rock,punk and some metal songs i predominantly listen to dubstep, electronic, house and techno music.

Also, 16 bit machine gun is absolutely amazing so i strongly recommend it and chainsaw calligraphy (which is also by 16 bit).

If you like 16-bit and have an iPhone or Wii then check out the game lilt line, it's great fun but sadly hasn't sold very well (apparently it's sold so poorly on WiiWare that Nintendo might not even pay royalties to the developers!)

Who is dubstep and why is everyone obsessed with them in this thread?

Dubstep is not an artist, it's a genre.
It's basically electronic reggae, with influences from drum 'n bass, metal (not always) and hiphop.

Specifically its roots are in late 90s 2-step UK garage, eg. tracks like this:

Then in the early 00s (2001-2002) you had some producers taking things a little darker with the basslines, and playing around with the beats a little:

...and that's what ended up being called dubstep around 2003 or thereabouts. A few years later, half-speed beats were everywhere, and a few years after that (thanks to Rusko or Caspa or someone like that) everyone was putting wobble basslines in their tunes. Now a lot of dubstep is all about who can get the most fucked-up noises in their tracks, but hey-ho, I guess that's progress for you.

Hope it works.

Dubstep is probably my least favourite genre of music period. The gayest thing electro musicians have ever come up with.

I love Dubstep now... I'm actually trying to experiment with some in my music.

I'm glad this topic got bumped back up, I always thought dubstep was something like this

but the opening post's choice opened my ears with that fine selection.

 

[BionicC]

Nah, it's more like this.

Nah, it's more like this.

That was quite intense, I suddenly feel the urge to work out with my shirt on.

I like mostly remixes:

dubstep originally came from garage and drum & bass, i haven't really got into dubstep as i like garage and drum & bass much more.
