↓ More info below ↓
Dubstep became a viral sensation a decade ago, but at the height of its popularity it vanished. Dubstep came from UK garage music in the 90's, influenced by the syncopation of 2-step and the bass and reverb of Jamaican dub. What started off in London as an underground scene, became the soundtrack for popculture in the 2010's. So how did dubstep become mainstream, and where did it go?
LA Buckner researches the roots of dubstep and then attempts to create his own dubstep track. Everything from Skrillex to Skream, Benga, and Burial.

(For his early days) this was the best drop of Chime imo.
I left dubstep 3-4 years ago because the drops were always bad even though the intros were good, I tired of being disappointed and waited for riddim to end.

Asha Apple it all depends on what you like, back then all the dubstep had somewhat of the same sounds but now there is sooo many styles it’s hard to just say “oh I like dubstep “ dubstep as a whole has evolved so much from hype dubstep, more club style dubstep, shit we even got like rocker/metal style dubstep!

As it should. The mainstream misunderstood it and abused it. They don't deserve it.

@@DennisTrovato I REALLY WITH HE WOULD. love him
Frankie 504 would love this quote
Pleasantly surprised with this one. You captured the history of dubstep very correctly, however I feel like Digital Mystikz would’ve been a better example of the original UK dubstep with dub influences, although I’m happy you mentioned Benga&Skream. Secondly, regarding the spin-off genres, it should be mentioned that dubstep essentialy became a spin-off genre of itself since nowaydays weekly if not daily new records are coming out which are capturing the old minimal dubstep sound very nicely. Record labels such as innamind, system, crucial recordings, and infernal sounds are references thereof. Lastly, the tune you made really sounds like a Silkie-style tune, so that’s worth checking out 😎
I knew that eventually we'd come back around to the 2006-2009 minimal dubstep sounds again (even though it really didn't go anywhere). I've written down the labels you mentioned but would you mind hitting me with some top artists you dig that are pushing out original dubstep sounds? I'm about to go back in time lol
There should be a followup video about what dubstep has become in today's day and age, it's expanded into so many more sub genres and allowed producers to create such insane tracks that nobody thought was possible 10 or 20 years ago, and the whole scene is very much alive and definitely far from its peak
I agree that the genre is expanding but the exposure has been long gone. The genre doesn't seem to be getting any mainstream recognition as it was in the previous years, and I feel we are losing more producers than we are gaining. If that's true, then in order to gather new listeners, this genre needs to be pushed into the light in some way. I don't think Riddim or any sound design tutorial video is ever going to do that. IMO we need a strong melodic scene. Young producers like Geoxor pushing boundaries in theory and composition is what's great for not just Dubstep, but Electronic Dance Music as a whole. It's talented, highly musical, and promotes sound design all in one fell swoop.
What new sub genres of dubstep?? The scene ain't what it was let's be honest. Only a few events in London still playing true to the original sound
Electronic music is wild, man.
"Hey have you heard of this new genre its called.... oh wait thats old again. its now called... nope, wait... wait... aaaand its gone. ok."
It's called riddim.

Dubstep did disappear for most in the western pop culture scene. Skrillex made it mainstream, but once he got tired of it nobody since has been able to attain his levels of popularity.
However, that doesn't mean dubstep itself is dead. The bass heavy sounds and artists analyzed in this video are from old school (dare I say "classic") dubstep. It's like saying rock died with the likes of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. New age dubstep is much harder and more mid-range focused with an emphasis on the drum heavy buildup/drop.
It's still very much alive and one of the most popular genres in the EDM rave/festival scene next to hardstyle, house, and trap. There's also a resurgence of dubstep influence in K-pop music right now. Just listen to the drums, synthesizers, and structure in Pop/Stars by K/DA. You'll hear what I mean.
what are some good dubstep artists today?
Hamdi@@LAIDBACKMANNER
If you think dubstep "disappeared" you're just not paying attention

I can never hate on the genre....
I can still remember the very first time I ever heard dubstep...being totally unprepared for what it was.
It was actually a live show....Bassnectar playing the main stage at some festival....I think it was called Forecastle? Way back in 2010.
Had taken a small dose of acid beforehand...and then when the music started, it honestly legit blew my mind. SUCH a good feeling letting my body and mind get lost in this totally novel sonic atmosphere. The entire crowd was one....it was one of those rare genuinely magical shows that I'll never forget.
Everyone uses Virtual Riot loops and actually nobody mentions him in the history of dubstep

Dubstep isnt gone, it just stepped away from the main stream. Theres a massive festival called lost lands that attracts huge crowds just for dubstep, dubstep has its own dedicated stage at EDC, ect. It evolved.
Dubstep didn't die. It's just hiding from all the frat boys.
Exactly
literally this.
Rmwhen there is little chance of it ever providing a living anymore, it's pretty much dying. I started the first dubstep weekly in my city btw, when Drum N Bass started losing too much money and I couldn't afford to do it anymore. Oh yeah.. 12th Planet was a DnB guy/promoter previously too.
real talk
no. it died. (which is a good thing, music needs to constantly evolve. stagnation is bad for art)
Trust me, Dubstep is alive and kicking, it’s just returned to the underground (and its roots if you listen to Deep Dubstep).
Yeah a channel called Liquid Flav is uploading new but old sounding Dubstep.
Jay D UK no not rly popular
Jay D UK it’s like any genre. May not be featured on main charts but there will always be underground dubstep
disciple and never say die are the only labels worth keeping up with nowadays.

Yeh I think that's why a lot of us ask where dubstep disappeared to because as we got older our taste in music changed (probably for the better) and we just weren't around it as much.

Gotta give it up to PBS for always dropping the knowledge on us
Definitely a lot missing from this video but overall a decent summary of the genre. Biggest misnomer is the title though. Dubstep is the biggest it’s ever been in its “underground” form. Just because it’s not creeping it’s way into the mainstream recently doesn’t mean it’s not going insanely strong behind the scenes.
For anyone interested, take a look at the streamed sets from Lost Lands on the US side and Rampage on the EU side for a taste of just how big this genre still is. Dubstep artists and shows are filling stadiums and festivals with thouuusands of people, especially in North America. It’s also been making its way across the world with shows now frequently happening in Australia and across Asia.

@que A dope hip hop artist. Idk tf does he have to do with this video. He kinda uses heavy bass lines, but not even close to as heavy as it's common for dubstep
que look him up
Andy Mac that quote made me think of him, lol
I liked the in your face bass sound because it was what I had always want to hear in electronic music, but I also loved the mellow laidback sub wobble dubstep that preceded it. Great mini-documentary on Dubstep. Everything you said matched my memory of how it came and went.
I just have to take a moment to appreciate the immense sound stage in the track at the end of the video. It sounded like I was completely surrounded and different sounds were originating from different areas all over the place. Not something I notice in a lot of electronic music these days. Well mixed for sure!
Dubstep went back underground, but it's better than ever. Artists such as Chime, Au5, Virtual Riot and MUST DIE! are redefining the genre as we speak.
@@UrbanstepOfficial HOLY SHOOT THE MAN IS HERE!
@@UrbanstepOfficial I thought you left CZcams lel. Anyway your collab with soar is HELLA SPICY :)
@@UrbanstepOfficial Idk why people say dubstep died, it just went out of mainstream and evolved, hell even skrillex still makes it although more in a trap form
Don't forget Fractal too!
nah Virtual Riot is now going into Riddim
“I thought it was an earthquake. Then I went outside, and I looked, and I realized it was BASS”
That has to become a new meme template

It looks like it already happened like 3 years ago. Is this going to be how the world is? Everything we think is a cool idea already happened 3 years ago??
People on tik tok will abuse it
@@GKRainwater omg xDD a hidden gem

Well crafted mini-doc!! Informative and entertaining. Makes me want to make some beats! #welldone
The Research gone into this was amazing. Old school dubstep before skrillex slapped it left will have a place in my heart
Shout out CZcams for showing me some quality content. Then me getting my mind blown more than the neighbor at the Bassnectar concert when I realized this was produced by PBS.
Jonathan Sanders PBS is the shit. Love me some PBS Newshour.

Dubstep isn’t for everyone. It brings a particular group of people together and there is much love in the dubstep community.
Cause your all high on molly being touchy feely
@win2008workstation deadmau5 isn't dubstep lmao.

Encompassed perfect, thank you so much X )
Things just made sense after watching this. Thanks!
Dubstep never really left lol, that’s one of the biggest edm subgenres at festivals. It’s just not mainstream
Skateitall1000 EDM is an umbrella term - Electronic Dance Music. Dubstep is not a Subgenre, it’s a Genre. Riddim is a Subgenre to Dubstep, it’s basically boneless dubstep
Rehtse you get my point though i don’t have to be to the T lol
