What is dubstep?
Dubstep is a type of electronic dance music that originated in the early 2000s in England. It is characterized by its heavy bass and drums, as well as its use of sampled music. Dubstep is often confused with other genres of electronic dance music, such as techno and trance, but it is distinct in its own right.
The history of dubstep
The history of dubstep is rich and varied, with the genre’s roots tracing back to the early 2000s in South London. Since then, dubstep has undergone a number of different permutations and mutations, with the sound becoming increasingly popular in mainstream circles in recent years.
While dubstep may have originated in London, the genre has since taken on a life of its own, with artists from all over the world helping to shape and evolve the sound. In 2014, dubstep continued to push boundaries and innovate, with a host of new artists and established producers creating some of the best music the genre has ever seen.
