About the dubstep genre
What is dubstep?
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the late 1990s. It is generally characterized by sparse, syncopated rhythmic patterns with prominent sub-bass frequencies. The style emerged as an offshoot of UK garage, drawing on a lineage of related styles such as 2-step and dub reggae. In the United Kingdom, the earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998.
The style is often IDM-influenced and features significant variation in pacing throughout a track; abrupt changes in tempo, time signature and rhythm are commonly found within tracks. Although dubstep is often described as a dark or melancholic genre, early tracks used ambience and brighter soundscapes more than later tracks.
