schoolin' you on dubstep

Came across this video on my never ending quest for more dubstep. Here you will be introducted to Skream, if you don't already know who that is, along with other DJ's and producers who discuss their own personal thoughts about dubstep and the movement behind it.



Urban Dictionary's definition of dubstep:

1. A broad term for the deeper, rootical sound of post-Garage music. Related to Grime, Eski, Sublo, 8Bar. A tongue in cheek descriptive term in the UK tradition, like Jungle.

2.Dubstep is music centred around bass. It draws on many musical influences. Such influences include, dub, reggae, d'n'b, jungle, UK garage, grime, techno and IDM. Usually around 140bpm in tempo, the unifying sounds within dubstep are always bass and sub-bass. The music ranges in style from melodious instrumentals to dark, techy and distorted numbers. Many UK grime mc's also mc over dubstep tracks, although grime and dubstep should not be confused. Dubstep is usually mellow and generally has a well paced structure to each song. Grime beats are generally more disjointed, the overall production level being grittier than that in dubstep.
