DubstepUK
Dark, halftime and uptempo (i.e. 138-142 BPM). Characterized by sub-bass wobble bass lines (created by modulating the filter cutoff and envelope attack) juxtaposed against drum patterns that include a straight ahead kick drum pattern frequently syncopated in turnarounds. Build ups and breakdowns are common. Mostly instrumental, though sinjaying, rapping and R&B-style singing occasionally show up. Originated in South London in the late 1990s. Highly influenced by 2-step and dub reggae, with lesser influence from other genres such as jungle, broken beat, and grime. Standout artists include Burial and Kode 9.
