The dubstep revival starts here.
Take a nostalgic trip back in time to 2006 and onwards with over 14gb of unreleased and rare tracks from a website forum called dubstepforum. The website users, often referring to themselves as “ninjas” would make “DubStep” music in their bedrooms or their friends bedrooms and then upload it to the forum for their fellow ninjas to listen to, critique or download.
DubStep was a popular music genre that was characterised by it’s heavy basslines (often called “weights”) and it’s’ sparse beats and high-hats and percussion. It was slower than a similar genre called drum & bass, or “Jungle Music”, typically around 140 bpm (which is a secret “industry” term those in the scene use to describe how fast a track is in Beats By The Minute),
Men in their twenties would often gather in medium sized dark rooms to smoke a marajuana “spliff” (or “J”) and watch another man “mixcing” DubStep, while they would nod at each other and appreciate the “Weights”.
As Dubstep became popular in the mainstream, even women would go to dubstep nights out and could be seen having as great a time as the men!
If you want to hear DubStep from the early days of the “scene” then start here with this archive.
Also You can enjoy the usually seamless blending of tunes in mp3 format (a popular digital music format in the early 2000s) known within the scene as a “mix"
A good mix” to start with is this one courtesy of @khybot that uses a lot of the tunes from the dubstep froum acrchive mentioned above. Hear it by clicking here
