Now, what exactly is dubstep one might ask?
A defenition per Wikipedia:
Quote:
Dubstep is the name given to the largely South London-based dark
garage sound that originally came out of productions by El-B
(as part of both Groove Chronicles and the Ghost camp),
Zed Bias (aka Phuturistix, Maddslinky and more) and Steve Gurley in 1999-2000.
Like another garage hybrid, grime, it uses dark sounds, but differs
from grime in being largely instrumental. It also predates the
evolution of grime by several years.
A defenition per Joe Nice [America's premier dubstep persona]:
Quote:
"Deep in the heart of South London's underground lies a sound that percolates in the streets and vibrates the speakers...dubstep is the soundtrack. A vibe that rests on the edge of relaxation and explosion, that flourishes in the middle ground of the comfortable sounds of soulful house and the unbridled energy of drum & bass.....
Music made in London -- forged from multicultural influences, syncopated rhythms and loads of bass.
Dubstep.
Not too fast....Not too slow....Just right.
Dubstep = Bass + pace + space.
Dubstep = Infection + reflection.
Dubstep = Mood music that's strictly for the headstrong.
Dubstep = The irrestible force meeting the immovable object.
Dubstep = A force of nature.
Dubstep = what is now and what is next.
Dubstep is taking over!"
