It was just over two years ago that I heard the term Dubstep for the first time. I happened to follow a link to a video that was labeled Sketchy Santa. What waited for there was a little homemade looking video for a song about Santa and a Dirty Bass Line. The video was meant to be funny and that instantly appealed to the Humor In Music side of me but it was the electro-industrial sounds of the Dubstep that really captured my imagination.
I had heard similar sounding music but never did the term Dubstep come into play. Since that time I’ve been introduced to Deadmau5, Skrillex, Klaypex and a host of other Dubstep artists. If you are just getting into Dubstep or want to check out some samples I recommend going to Dubstep.net. They seem to add new tracks all the time.
In the two years after seeing Dubstep Santa, Dubstep music has become a favorite of mine. If you’ve been following My Musical Evolution, it should be rather obvious why. It usually has great beats and plenty of industrial electronic aspects.
There are many flavors of Dubstep. Some seem to feature rap artists some rely heavily on sampled material. My favorite is the more melodic stuff that sounds like it might have started out as electronic New Age music before it got jammed into the blender.
Here is where it all began. I guess I should have posted this on Christmas, yesterday.
