A Dubstep Addiction

I love bass. It gives me chills, makes my spine tingle, helps me concentrate and always seems to put my brain into overdrive. The only problem I had was it was so damn hard to find a good bass track! This all changed two months ago when I was informed that this style of music had a name. Dubstep. Now, I had always been familiar with drum and bass, and there are great drum and bass songs for sure, but many of them just didn’t strike that vibe with me that I found myself slowly becoming addicted to.

Enter dubstep. Wikipedia tells me that it is a genre of electronic dance music that started in London’s UK garage scene around the start of the of this century. It is distinguished by it’s 2-step rhythm, use of snares and a heavy emphasis on bass. I’m no music buff, but that sounds exactly like what I had been searching for. I’m not gonna get too much into the history of dubstep, but for those of you interested Wikipedia has a great article.

Over the last two months I have been exposed to an absolute shit-ton of dubstep (the reddit dubstep subreddit is great for this). I am still figuring out what I like, what I dislike and what I absolutely love. If anyone has some suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments.

Anyways, I’m going to leave you with some of my favorites – enjoy;

Noisia – Machine Gun (16BIT Remix)
Ed Solo – Age of Dub
