Can someone explain dubstep to me?

[Ed Paris]

I really like this topic, it's a very good discussion.
Can you put examples of different types of Dubstep?
Like Dubstep music for dancing, for chillout area, for main dancefloor on small clubs, for big open air raves?
I just want to imagine where the EDM's Brazil scene can go with the Dubstep influence...

(just for example)

deep shit like:

Interesting thread. I don't know much about UKG and now I feel like I need to explore it. Has anyone notice there are tracks coming out now combining dubstep basslines with 4 to the floor house beats? I know this isn't pure dubstep by any means but this makes the track danceable while still enjoying a little bit of the wobble.

i just released an EP with my friend, if you go take a listen to a clip of Winter, you will hear the bassline on that, which is not strictly house, you can see my influences which come from house, hip hop dub god i could go on lol

track I am working playing around with making at the moment has a heavy bass as well it's something i love.

@V-Hoff you should champion it in Brazil, you've seen how mad it's gone in Europe, US and OZ. You could rule South America!!!!

I can't really speak for the whole US, but as far as I can tell not at all. Most people don't even know what it is. I've heard DJs mix a few tracks into their sets but it's mostly electro house where I am. When I go to burning man most of the DJs spinning Dubstep are from the bay area (which is near the event) and they play at the small music theme camps.

IMO the US is definately not even as close to the UK scene. I've been watching some UK shows on netflix recently and I hear DS played in a lot of The episodes.

If I were to guess I would think it's got a decent scene in he big cities though, NYC, Miami, SF, and LA. But that's just an assumption.

just a thought, i heard a pendulum track with a dubstep feel to it the other week.

will their 'sound' ruin the genre, or push it further or bring a few more people to the party?
