Defination• Dubstep is one of the hottest new genres to emerge

this decade with its spine-curdling basslines and intricate intoxicating rhythms continually capturing the crowd's imagination as the scene evolves, and providing a welcome shelter for many genres along the way

Page 3: Dub step music

Defination• Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that

originated in south London, England. Its overall sound has been described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals".

Info About Dub Step• Stylistic origins : Dub, Grime, 2-step, drum and bass

• Cultural origins : Late 1990s,. London, England

• Typical instruments : Sequencer, turntables, samples, drum machine, synthesizer, keyboard, personal computer.

• Mainstream popularity: Mainly an underground scene, but with an increase in mainstream popularity in the late 2000’s and early 2010s

Characteristics Dubstep's early roots are in the more

experimental releases of UK garage producers, seeking to incorporate elements of drum and bass into the South London-based 2-step garage sound Dubstep is generally instrumental:

• Rhythm• Wobble bass• Structure, bass drops, rewinds and MCs

Page 6: Dub step music

Rhythm• Dubstep rhythms are usually syncopated, and often shuffled

or incorporating tuplets.• The tempo is nearly always in the range of 138-142 beats per

minute, with a clap or snare usually inserted every third beat in a bar.

• Dubstep rhythms typically do not follow the four-to-the-floor patterns common in many other styles of electronic dance music such as techno and house but tend to rely on longer percussion loops than the four-bar phrases present in much techno.

Page 7: Dub step music

Wobble bass• One characteristic of certain strands of dubstep is the wobble

bass, where an extended bass note is manipulated rhythmically.

• This style of bass is typically produced by using a low frequency oscillator to manipulate certain parameters of a synthesizer such as volume, distortion or filter cutoff. The resulting sound is a timbre that is punctuated by rhythmic variations in volume, filter cutoff, or distortion.

• This style of bass is a driving factor in some variations of dubstep, particularly at the more club-friendly end of the spectrum.

• Structure:

• Originally, dubstep releases had some structural similarities to other genres like drum and bass and UK garage. Typically this would comprise an intro, a main section (often incorporating a bass drop), a midsection, a second main section similar to the first (often with another drop), and an outro.

Bass Drops:• Many early dubstep tracks incorporate one or more "bass

drops", a characteristic inherited from drum and bass. Typically, the percussion will pause, often reducing the track to silence, and then resume with more intensity, accompanied by a dominant subbass (often passing portamento through an entire octave or more, as in the audio example)

Page 9: Dub step music

Rewinds(or Reloads):• These are another technique used by dubstep DJs. If a

song seems to be especially popular, the DJ will 'spin back' the record by hand without lifting the stylus, and play the track in question again.

MC:• Taking direct cues from Jamaica's lyrically sparse deejay

and toasting mic styles in the vein of reggae pioneers like U-Roy, the MC's role in dubstep's live experience is critically important to its impact.

History 1999–2002: origins:• The sound of dubstep originally came out of productions

by El-B,Steve Gurley, Oris Jay and Zed Bias in 1999-2000• Ammunition Promotions, who run the influential club

and have managed many proto dubstep record labels began to use the term "dubstep" to describe this style of music in around 2002.

• The term's use in a 2002 XLR8R cover story contributed to it becoming established as the name of the genre

Page 11: Dub step music

1999–2002: origins• Ran a radio show on east London pirate station Rinse

FM, hosted by Kode9.• Another crucial element in the early development of

dubstep was the Big Apple Records record shop in Croydon. Key artists such as Hatcha and later Skream worked in the shop.

Page 12: Dub step music

2002–2005: evolution• Throughout 2003, DJ Hatcha pioneered a new direction for

dubstep on Rinse FM. He drew exclusively from a pool of new South London producers—first Benga and Skream.

• At the end of 2003, running independently from the pioneering FWD night, an event called Filthy Dub, co promoted by Plastician, and partner David Carlisle started happening regularly.

• Loefah and MC Sgt Pokes soon came into their own, bringing sound system thinking, dub values, and appreciation of jungle bass weight to the dubstep scene.

Page 13: Dub step music

2002–2005: evolution• Digital Mystikz brought an expanded palette of sounds

and influences to the genre, most prominently reggae and dub, as well as orchestral melodies.[

• After releasing 12-inch singles on Big Apple, they founded DMZ Records, which has released fourteen 12"s to date.

• They also began their night DMZ, held every two months in Brixton.

Page 14: Dub step music

2002–2005: evolution• In 2004, Richard James label, Rephlex, released two

compilations that included dubstep tracks - the (perhaps misnamed) Grime and Grime 2.These compilations helped to raise awareness of dubstep at a time when the grime sound was drawing more attentionand

• Digital Mystikz and Loefah's presence on the second release contributed to the success of their DMZ club night

Page 15: Dub step music

2005–2008: growth• In the summer of 2005, brought grime DJs to the fore of the

line up .• “Dubstep Warz“,.. The show created a new global audience

for the scene, after years of exclusively UK underground buzz soundtrack.

• In 2006 sci-fi film Children of Men • 2000-2004 era of dubstep called The Roots of Dubstep, co-

compiled by Ammunition and Blackdown on the Tempa Label.

Page 16: Dub step music

2005–2008: growth• Regular Dubstep club nights started appearing in cities like

New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Montreal, Houston, and Denver.

• Mary Anne Hobbs curated a Dubstep showcase at 2007's Sónar festival in Barcelona.

• Following on from Rinse FM's pioneering start; three internet based radio station's called SubFM, DubstepFM and DubTerrain started to play the sound exclusively with 24 hour broadcasting featuring show archives and live DJ shows.

Page 17: Dub step music

2005–2008: growth• Techno artists and DJs began assimilating dubstep into their

sets and productions.• The summer of 2007 saw dubstep's musical palette expand

further, with Benga and Coki scoring a crossover hit with the track "Night", which gained widespread play from DJs in a diverse range of genres.

• Much like drum and bass before it, dubstep has started to become incorporated into other media, particularly in the United Kingdom.

Page 18: Dub step music

2005–2008: growth

• In 2007, Benga, Skream, and other dubstep producers provided the soundtrack to much of the second series of Dubplate Drama.

• The sound also featured prominently in the second series of the teen drama Skins.

• In the autumn of 2008, a limited pressing 12" called "Iron Devil" was released featuring Lee Scratch Perry and Prince Far-I in a dubstep style.

Page 19: Dub step music

2005–2008: growth• This was the first recorded example of a founder of Jamaican

dub style acknowledging dubstep and creating new music in the genre, reinforcing the connection of dubstep to its roots in Jamaican dub reggae at a time when it seemed dubstep was moving away from its reggae underpinnings.

• Mary Anne Hobbs commented that the mood at dubstep nights is less aggressive, or more meditative, leading to a larger female attendance at events

Page 20: Dub step music

2009 to presentMainstream influence• However the year 2009 saw the dubstep sound gaining

further worldwide recognition, often through the assimilation of elements of the sound into other genres, in a manner similar to drum and bass.

• In a move foreshadowed by endorsements of the sound from R&B, hip-hop and recently, mainstream figures such as Rihanna, or Public Enemy’s Hank Shocklee, Snoop Dogg collaborated with dubstep producers Chase & Status, providing a vocal for their 'underground anthem' "Eastern Jam“.

Page 21: Dub step music

2009 to present• Rihanna’s Rated R album released such content the very

year dubstep saw a spike, containing 3 dubstep tracks.• Such events propelled the genre into the biggest radio

markets overnight, with considerable airplay.• Throughout 2010, dubstep was beginning to hit the pop

chart• In April 2011, "dubbox", the industry's first application

designed for the mobile creation of dubstep music, was released for the iPhone and reached the Top 25 Best Selling Music Apps in the UK its first week.

Page 22: Dub step music

2009 to present Post-dubstep• More recently the term post-dubstep has been used to

describe music that combines stylistic features of dubstep with other musical influences.

• The tempo of music typically characterised as post-dubstep is approximately 130 beats per minute

• Mount Kimbie's Maybes EP, James Blake's remix of Untold's "Stop What You're Doing" and Joy Orbison's "Hyph Mngo" can be used as markers in the breaking off of post-dubstep as a distinct sound.

Page 23: Dub step music

2009 to present Brostep• Brostep is a post-dubstep trend that has recently received

increasing exposure, with the American producer Skrillex becoming something of a figurehead for the scene.

• In September 2011 a Spin Magazine EDM special referred to brostep as a "lurching and aggressive" variant of dubstep that prevails in the United States.

• Elsewhere it has been described variously as “dubstep with more anger to it" and "Americanized, garbage dubstep."

Page 24: Dub step music

2009 to present• Unlike traditional dubstep production styles, that emphasize

sub-bass content, brostep accentuates the middle register and features "robotic fluctuations and metal-esque aggression.

• Dubstep "purists" have leveled criticisms at brostep because of its preoccupation with "hard" and aggressive sounding timbres.

• In the UK brostep has been jokingly called "bruvstep" and "mid-range cack."
