Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music which has its roots in London's early 2000s UK garage scene. The genre's name was coined by Ammunition Promotions.[1] Musically, dubstep is distinguished by its dark mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass. Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and early 2006, with many blogs and forums devoted to the genre appearing on the internet. Simultaneously, the genre was receiving extensive coverage in music magazines such as The Wire and online publications such as Pitchfork Media.

Interest in dubstep grew further after BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs began championing the genre, devoting a show to it entitled "Dubstep Warz", in January 2006.[2][3][4] By October 2006, the genre was being covered in the UK national press, where the Daily Telegraph wrote of "the latest development in British dance music... yet another sound stemming from London's garage scene, a bass-heavy instrumental form rather confusingly known as Dubstep."[2] BBC Radio 1 (commonly referred to as just Radio 1) is a British national radio station operated by the BBC, specialising in popular music and speech and is aimed primarily at the 14-29[1] age group. ...

Dubstep's early roots are in the more experimental releases of UK garage producers, seeking to incorporate elements of dub reggae into the South London-based 2-step subgenre. These experiments often ended up on the B-side of a white label or commercial garage release.[1][2][5] Like another, more vocal garage hybrid, grime, the genre's feel is often dark; tracks frequently use a minor key and often feature dissonant harmonies such as the diminished chord. Other distinguishing features often found are the use of samples, the fact it is a largely instrumental genre, a propulsive, sparse rhythm,[6] and an almost omnipresent subbass.

Rhythm

Dubstep rhythms are usually syncopated, and often shuffled or incorporating triplets. The tempo is nearly always in the range of 138-142bpm.[6] Dubstep rhythms typically do not follow the four-to-the-floor pattern common to many other styles of electronic dance music, but instead tend to skip beats and repeat sets of two bars rather than single bars. Often, a track's percussion will follow a pattern which when heard alone will appear to be playing at half the tempo of the track; the double-time feel is instead achieved by other elements, usually the bassline. An excellent example of this tension generated by the conflicting tempi is Skream's Rutten, which features a very sparse rhythm almost entirely composed of kick drum, snare drum, and a sparse hi-hat, with a distinctly half time implied 69bpm tempo. The track is instead propelled by a constant subbass following a four to the floor 138bpm pattern. In music, syncopation is when a stressing of a normally unstressed beat in a bar or failure to sound a tone on an accented beat occurs. ...

In an Invisible Jukebox interview with The Wire, dubstep artist and label owner Kode9 commented on a DJ Mark One track, observing that listeners "have internalized the double-time rhythm" and the "track is so empty it makes [the listener] nervous, and you almost fill in the double time yourself, physically, to compensate".[7] The Wire is a British avant garde music magazine. ... Kode9 (born Steve Goodman in Glasgow, Scotland) is a London-based dubstep artist, DJ, and owner of the Hyperdub record label. ...


Bass drops and rewinds

Many 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, as in the audio example). Drum and bass (commonly abbreviated to d&b, DnB, dnb, dnb, drum n bass and drum & bass) is a type of electronic dance music also known as jungle. ... Portamento is a musical term currently used to mean pitch bending or sliding, and in 16th century polyphonic writing refers to a type of musical ornamentation. ...


Rewinds (also known as "reloads"[8]) 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. Rewinds are also an important live element in many of dubstep's precursors; the technique originates in dub reggae soundsystems, and is also used at UK garage and jungle nights.[9]. For other meanings of DJ, see DJ (disambiguation). ... This article is about the 311 album. ...


Structure

Mala of Digital Mystikz

Early dubstep releases inherited a structure similar to those used in drum and bass and UK garage, typically comprising 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.

This rather rigid format has evolved in recent times, unlike in grime, where the focus tends to be on providing a musical framework for MCs to rap over. As a result, some grime DJs, such as Plastician, have begun playing more dubstep,[10] and some grime MCs, such as JME and Durrty Goodz, have released tracks with a dubstep sound or MCed directly over dubstep beats. Coki and Mala of Digital Mystikz have experimented with abrupt, 16-bar intros and have produced tracks with dub vocalists,[11] and dubstep artist and label co-owner Sam Shackleton has mentioned in interview that his latest, unreleased productions entirely lack the traditional bass drop, and fall outside the traditional dubstep tempo altogether, typically having a tempo around the 100bpm mark.[12] Grime(also known as hip house) is a sub-genre of urban music which first emerged in London in the early 2000s, primarily a development of UK garage, drum and bass, dancehall and hip hop. ...

History

Origins of the sound: 1999-2002

The sound of dubstep originally came out of productions by El-B[1], Oris Jay[13], Steve Gurley[1](who all feature on Tempa's Roots of Dubstep compilation) and Zed Bias[14][15] in 1999-2000. El-B (real name Lewis Beadle) is a british electronic music producer, who produces mainly hip hop and UK garage. ...

The term dubstep was first used by Ammunition Promotions,[1][16][17] who run the influential club Forward>> and have managed many dubstep record labels (including Tempa, Soulja, Road, Vehicle, Shelflife, Texture, Lifestyle and Bingo).[3][13] The term's use in a 2002 XLR8R cover story (featuring Horsepower Productions on the cover) contributed to the term becoming established as the name of the genre.[14][18] It gained full acceptance with the Dubstep Allstars Vol 1 CD (Tempa) mixed by DJ Hatcha.[19][20] Tempa (2000-present) is a dubstep and garage label run by Ammunition Promotions, out of the Truman Brewery, East London. ...

The club Forward>> was originally held at the Velvet Rooms in London's Soho and is now running every Friday at Plastic People in Shoreditch, east London.[6] Founded in 2001, Forward>> was critical to the development of dubstep, providing the first venue devoted to the sound and an environment in which dubstep producers could premier new music.[21] Around this time, Forward>> was also incubating several other strains of dark garage hybrids, so much so that in the early days of the club the coming together of these strains was referred to as the "Forward>> sound".[22]. An online flyer from around this time encapsulated the Forward>> sound as "b-lines to make your chest cavity shudder"[23]. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Forward>> also ran a radio show on east London pirate station Rinse FM, hosted by producer/DJ Kode9, owner of the Hyperdub label.[24][25][26] The original Forward>> residents included Hatcha, Youngsta, Kode9, Zed Bias, Oris Jay,[13] Slaughter Mob, Jay Da Flex, Slimzee and others, plus regular guests. The line up of residents has changed over the years to include Youngsta, Hatcha, Geeneus and Plastician, with Crazy D as MC/host. Producers including D1, Skream and Benga make regular appearances.[21] Rinse FM is a popular underground radio station broadcasting to London and worldwide via the internet, specialising in Grime, Dubstep, Garage and other new and upcoming underground music genres. ...

Another crucial element in the early development of dubstep was the Big Apple Records record shop in Croydon.[3] Key artists such as Hatcha and later Skream worked in the shop (which initially sold garage and drum and bass, but evolved with the emerging dubstep scene in the area),[1] while Digital Mystikz were frequent visitors. El-B, Zed Bias, Horsepower, and a young Loefah regularly visited the shop as well.[3] The shop and its record label have since closed down[14] and reopened under the name Mixing Records. For other uses, see Croydon (disambiguation). ...


Origins of the scene: 2003-2005

Throughout 2003 Rinse FM and through his sets at Forward>>,[3] DJ Hatcha pioneered a new direction for dubstep, one that established the scene as a new sound.[15] Playing sets cut to 10" one-off reggae-style dubplates, he drew exclusively from a pool of new South London producers - first Benga and Skream,[15] then also Digital Mystikz and Loefah - to begin a dark, clipped and minimal new direction in dubstep.[27] Digital Mystikz followed by bringing an expanded palate of sounds and influences to the genre, most prominently reggae and dub, as well as orchestral melodies.[28] Year 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... A dubplate is an acetate disc — usually 12 inches, 10 inches or 7 inches in diameter — used in mastering studios for quality control and test recordings before proceeding with the final master, and subsequent pressing of the record to be mass produced on vinyl. ...

The south London collective Digital Mystikz (Mala and Coki) and Loefah soon came into their own, bringing sound system thinking, dub values, and appreciation of jungle bass weight to the dubstep scene.[14] After releasing 12"s on Big Apple, they founded DMZ Records, which has released thirteen 12"s to date. They also began their night DMZ, held every two months in Brixton,[29] a part of London already strongly associated with reggae.[30] DMZ has showcased new dubstep artists such as Skream, Kode 9, Benga, Pinch, DJ Youngsta, Hijak, Joe Nice and Vex'd. The evening that queues at DMZ exceeded the capacity of the venue, prompting an immediate move to a larger capacity venue upstairs, has been described as a pivotal point in dubstep's history.[13][31] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

In 2004, Rephlex (assisted by Ammunition) put together two compilations that included dubstep tracks, named Grime and Grime 2. The first featured Plasticman, Mark One and Slaughter Mob,[32] with Kode 9, Loefah and Digital Mystikz appearing on the second.[33] These compilations helped to raise awareness of dubstep at a time when the grime sound was drawing more attention,[14] and Digital Mystikz and Loefah's presence on the second release contributed to the success of their DMZ club night.[34] Soon afterwards, the Independent on Sunday commented on "a whole new sound", at a time when both genres were becoming popular, stating that "grime" and "dubstep" were two names for the same style, which was also known as "sublow", "8-bar" and "eskibeat".[35] In the summer of 2005, Forward>> brought grime DJs to the fore of the line up.[36] Rephlex Records is an influential record label started in 1991 by acclaimed Electronica musician Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin) and Grant Wilson-Claridge, without the intention of making large profits. ...

2006 saw interest grow in the sound. Building on the success of Skream's 2005 grimey anthem "Midnight Request Line," the hype around the DMZ night and support from online forums (especially Dubstep Forum)[6] and media,[4] the scene gained prominence after Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs gathered top figures from the scene for one show, entitled "Dubstep Warz", (later releasing the compilation album "Warrior Dubz").[37] The show created a new audience for the scene, both in the UK and worldwide, after years of underground hard graft.[6] A successful year for the genre culminated in Burial's self-titled album appearing in many critics' "Best of..." lists for the year, notably The Wire's Best Album of 2006.[38][39] Dubstep was also featured prominently in the soundtrack for the 2006 sci-fi film Children of Men,[40] which included Digital Mystikz, Kode 9, Pressure and DJ Pinch.[41]Ammunition also released the first retrospective compilation of the 2000-2004 era of dubstep called "The Roots of Dubstep," co-compiled by Ammunition and Blackdown on the Tempa Label.[42] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...
