History

Early foundations

.While dubstep is its own distinct form of electronic music, its roots are surely located within Jamaican dub music and soundsystem cultures.^ Rebel Sonix is a dubstep / dub / electronic music producer from Brixton.

 ^ His distinct sound fuses the dark and heavy sounds of Dubstep and Drum and Bass with the melodies and soundscapes of Electronica, all sealed together with the subtle textures of acousmatic music.
  • Dubstep | Overlap.org 19 January 2010 18:22 UTC overlap.org [Source type: General]

 ^ For those that don’t know the festival was formed around the goal to promote the VJ medium, its culture and its connection to electronic music.

 Jamaican soundystems were "large mobile hi-fi or disco...[with] an emphasis on the reproduction of bass frequencies, its own aesthetics and a unique mode of consumption" [23]. These soundsystems represented the appearance of records (dub plates) as modes of legitimate artistic creation. This was an integral moment in the evolution of electronic musics, both in Britain and worldwide. .A vast number of record-based musical genres emerged in the last 50–60 years, all of which owe their base form to soundsystems.^ FREE DELIVERY on all UK orders OVER £50 *excludes music downloads or gift vouchers DISCOGRAPHY for VARIOUS / TEMPA .

Ammunition Promotions, who run the influential club Forward>> and have managed many proto dubstep record labels (including Tempa, Soulja, Road, Vehicle, Shelflife, Texture, Lifestyle and Bingo),[4][10] began to use the term "dubstep" to describe this style of music in around 2002.

Dubstep is a genre of music that started in the United Kingdom. It is usually considered to be a sub genre, or to be similar to, Jungle, 2step, UK Garage and Grime music. It is notable for its heavy use of bass, often in dubstep it is the bass that gives the song rhythm rather than the drum beat.

Characteristics

Dubstep songs are most often instrumental, without singing or vocals. A key feature of dubstep is the loud and heavy bass, with irregular or sometimes even out of time drum beats.[1] Dubstep songs have a tempo usually in the range of 138 to 142 beats per minute or bpm. This is significantly slower than a usual drum and bass track. Many songs feature something called a bass drop, when the bass in a song suddenly starts after a long change in pitch from high to low, giving the idea of falling or a drop. Not all songs have one, but it is often considered key to a dubstep song.
