DUBSTEP
The genre I have chosen to use is dark heavy bass music,
specifically dubstep.
 UK Bass music is an umbrella term used to refer to Uk
drum and bass, jungle, and dubstep.
 Dubstep is the combination dub reggae, 2 step, garage
and drum and bass, which has developed into the dark,
heavy, bass driven sound we hear today.
 Dubstep originates from the late 1990s, and its routes
trace back to south London, mainly the town of
Croydon. As people began to grow tired of the generic
rave house and techno music. People grew fond of the
hard and fast bass lines of the drum and bass and
jungle, but people still wanted the slower speed of
reggae, dub and garage, so when combined with the
heavy bass of drum and bass.
 It was also a reaction of poverty, boredom and drug
culture. Dubstep pioneers like Skream, Benga and
Hatcha, who at the time were just teenagers, just
messed around and experimented with beats and
synthesizers. Little did they know they would
eventually create and lead a genre which pioneered and
massively influenced all electronic dance music, right
through to what it is today.
 The genre dubstep gained massive attention in the late 2000s,
mainly 2009. The internet, mainly social media was a main lead
to its initial entrance in the mainstream as people began to
recognise it as innovative, individual and bazaar.
 It also sustained massive criticism as people didn’t view it as
‘proper music’.
 Once it began becoming mainstream, with more and more songs
and remixes appearing in the charts, artists like Benga, Skream,
Chase & Status were getting signed to massive labels like Sony
and Universal. This lead to it getting to America, where it
exploded, making the careers of artist like Skrillex, who became
the poster boy for the genre, with some of his songs gaining over
100 million views on YouTube, and millions more plays on other
platforms like sound cloud, Facebook and Itunes.
 This lead to dubstep artists Headlining festivals, clubs and shows
all around the world, selling millions of songs and becoming
world renowned artists and DJs.
 Skream
 Benga
 Plastician
 Caspa
 Rusko
 Hatcha
 Chase & Status
 Skrillex
 Flux Pavilion
 Nero
 Excision
 Datsik
 Noisia
 12th Planet
 Culprate
 Doctor P
 Getter
 Modestep
 Knife party
 Cookie Monsta
 Dubstep artists have won a variety of awards, even large awards
like The MTV Music Awards, where Skrillex has won two, and
The Grammys; where Skrillex has won six and Nero also has won
one.
 The BMAs or Bass Music Awards are supported by Ministry of
sound and PlayStation music, where in 2015 Zomboy won the best
producer, Flux pavilion won Best Single and Modestep won Best
Album
 There is also the DJ Awards, which is high honour for any
electronic music DJ, which has a category for bass music, where
artists such as Chase & Status, Skrillex, Knife Party, Skream,
Benga and Nero Have either won or been nominated for the
award.
The music website Allmusic has described Dubstep's overall sound as "tightly coiled
productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples,
and occasional vocals.“
As dubstep comes from very underground routes, it has aligned itself with a lot darker and
more urban styles, with at the beginning it being a reflection of british youth. For example a
lot of these DJs and producers would wear typical clothing worn by teenagers of britain such
as hoodies, tracksuits and either snap back or flat peak caps
As these DJs and producers began to become more
recognised and mainstream, a lot of them started to
develop very unique styles and traits, which began to
define them and the genre. This can be seen with artists like
Skrillex, Getter and Flux Pavilion with their well known
hair, Funtcase with his mask and Excision, datsik and chase
& Status with their Light shows.
 Because of its dark beginnings the attitudes
towards and with dubstep have become to
treat it as quite a isolated and individual genre,
with it also known as unique, weird and
extraordinary.
 With the more recent decline of popularity, as
the mainstream moved on to different styles.
Some people have the view that dubstep is
dead, which many argue as there are still
massive sales of music in the genre, with the
Artists still touring the world, across clubs,
events and festivals.

As people began to grow tired of the generic rave house and techno music. People grew fond of the hard and fast bass lines of the drum and bass and jungle, but people still wanted the slower speed of reggae, dub and garage, so when combined with the heavy bass of drum and bass.  It was also a reaction of poverty, boredom and drug culture. Dubstep pioneers like Skream, Benga and Hatcha, who at the time were just teenagers, just messed around and experimented with beats and synthesizers.

The music website Allmusic has described Dubstep's overall sound as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals.“ As dubstep comes from very underground routes, it has aligned itself with a lot darker and more urban styles, with at the beginning it being a reflection of british youth. For example a lot of these DJs and producers would wear typical clothing worn by teenagers of britain such as hoodies, tracksuits and either snap back or flat peak caps As these DJs and producers began to become more recognised and mainstream, a lot of them started to develop very unique styles and traits, which began to define them and the genre. This can be seen with artists like Skrillex, Getter and Flux Pavilion with their well known hair, Funtcase with his mask and Excision, datsik and chase & Status with their Light shows.
