“Shelter” by Porter Robinson and Madeon
As soon as the first notes of “Shelter” come in, it’s clear that this is a Porter Robinson and Madeon song through and through. The highly-anticipated collaboration between the two artists, who had previously worked together on a track called “Pay No Mind”, does not disappoint. “Shelter” is a gorgeous, emotive song that will pull at your heartstrings even as it gets your feet moving.
“Numb” by Linkin Park
Numb was released in 2003 as part of Linkin Park’s second studio album, Meteora. The song became an immediate hit, debuting at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helping the album reach number one on the charts. Numb has since been certified six times platinum in the United States and has sold over five million copies worldwide.
The song’s success can be attributed to its unique sound, which combines elements of rock, hip-hop, and electronica. The band achieved this by using a combination of live instruments and samples, which were then processed through a variety of effects pedals and synthesizers. This gave the song a signature sound that was unlike anything else on radio at the time.
In addition to its unique sound, Numb also features some of Linkin Park’s best vocal performances. Lead singer Chester Bennington delivers an emotional performance that perfectly matches the lyrics, which deal with themes of isolation and frustration. The result is a powerful song that still resonates with audiences today.
“Alone” by Marshmello
“Alone” by Marshmello is one of the best dubstep songs of 2019. The song was released on August 11, 2017, and it quickly rose to the top of the charts.

Humanz was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. It received mostly positive reviews from critics upon release who praised its scope and sonic ambition while some criticized its length and execution of its themes.
What So Not by What So Not
2019 was a big year for dubstep. With the rise of bass music, more and more artists are diving into the genre and experiment with its boundaries. There were so many great releases this year, but on top of our list is What So Not’s self-titled album.
Australia-native What So Not, aka Chris Emerson, has been making waves in the dubstep scene for years now. He’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in the game, like Flume and Skrillex, and has released a string of successful singles and EPs. But his debut album, released in April 2019, is by far his best work yet.
Spanning 13 tracks, What So Not takes the listener on a journey through Emerson’s signature brand of wonky, melodic dubstep. From the opener “Goh,” which features fellowAustralian singer Daniel Johns, to the closing track “Better,” which features vocals from KLP, each song is unique but somehow feels like part of a cohesive whole.
If you’re looking for an album that will make your head nod and your feet move, look no further than What So Not’s self-titled release. It’s without a doubt one of the best dubstep albums of 2019.
California Nights by Best Coast
Best Coast’s third album, California Nights, is a stunningly accomplished work that cements the band’s place as one of the premier pop acts of our time. Frontwoman Bethany Cosentino has always had a knack for writing incredibly catchy hooks, but on this album she takes her songwriting to new heights, crafting towering pop anthems that are as hook-laden as they are emotionally resonant. The production by spectral wizard Randall Dunn is gorgeous, layering shimmering synths and intricate percussion over Cosentino’s plaintive vocals to create a richly textured soundscape. It’s an absolutely essential album, and one of the best dubstep albums of 2019.
In Return by Odesza
With its mixture of pulsating bass, skittering rhythms and lush, often dreamy melodies, the music of Odesza often feels like an intravenous drip of optimism. The Seattle-based duo’s sophomore album, In Return, is packed with so many anthemic moments that it practically begs to be turned up to maximum volume and blasted out of open car windows.
Songs like “Say My Name,” which features the soulful vocals of Zyra, and “All We Need,” a collaboration with harpist Sharpless, are as catchy as anything on pop radio, but they’re also laced with a distinctly electronic edge that gives them a welcome sense of urgency. In Return is an album that’s built for both headphone listening and crowded dance floors, and it’s one of the year’s best.
