Dub-step
Dub-step began in the late 1990's, and was originated in south London this was something that had been taken from different genres, its influences was 2-step garage, broken beat, drum and bass jungle. dun and reggae. These sounds had been working its way through a whole decade, to become what it is today, the Jamaican party scene is one of the heaviest influences of why dub-step is about, this can be traced back to the 1980's.
Dub-step was originated in the UK, its a genre of electronic dance music. Dub-step is mostly known for its over whelming bass line pumping through the speakers. Also its sampled vocals, normally taken from an original song and remixed to underground scene of dub. In the time of dub-steps first release, around 1998 it was mainly just sound fused together and hardly any vocals. Dub-step attempted to incorporate elements of break beat and drum and bass into 2-step. In 2001 dub became quite popular as they began to start playing this type of music in the night clubs as well as garage. But everything was a darker yet deeper sound. A lot of websites became dedicated to the genre and decided to help its growth through out the UK. Dub-Step began in Croydon and then it spread to Brixton and stretch through out the country and spread beyond small local scenes.

The rhythm of dub step is normally syncopated and the tempo is nearly always in the range of 138-142 beats per minute. Dub-step Is known now for its bass lines and its crazy sounds that cause destruction to our ear drums but the feeling is amazing. Dub-step tends to do this thing where it will have a drop, meaning that everything in the track will be silenced to a split second and then everything is louder and much harder mostly unexpected as to what is going to come from the drop. Or a build up for something louder to come.
Some famous dub-step artist/performers : Skrillex, Scream, Zomboy and Knife Party. These are all dub-step artists that are around today. Some of the earliest dub-step artists are Benga, Excision, Borgore and Datsik. These are the people that set the bar for the dub-step artists out there now.
