I have a friend called Dieter. He's very charming, and today at lunch he pleaded very movingly (tears in his eyes, panini trembling in his hand) for me to make him a guide to dubstep. So the next three posts are going to explain dubstep, in so far as I understand it.
Basically dubstep has 2 main elements: quivering, intense basslines and sub-bass, and quieter high-pitched fast drums. There may or may not be a vocal sample or some lasers or something juicy like that.
It's party music, even though it's often in a minor key. The sub-bass makes the floor shake, and it's a straightforward 4-4 rhythm to dance too. So first up, a party song: Plastician's remix of the utterly classic Round The World Girls
