Dubstep is one of the last mutations of London’s garage style. In the late 90′s and early new millennium, this style completely dominated the Britain dance scene. Because of  the hype around it, not only british charts were dominated. However, as already happens, a wave that quickly comes quickly ends. For garage it was due to several factors. Its place in the limelight has brought a rapid overplaying. Garage is involuntarily become synonymous with high-society culture full of champagne and cocaine. It began to associate with the London underworld and organized crime, and so at that time were raided clubs nothing unique, whether justified or not. The time has come for something new.

With the die down of garage scene comes screaming from the streets of East London in the form of grime. It can evoke in people hip-hop because of MC’s, but the pace is much more vigorously and aggressively. Perhaps the biggest name is Dizzee Rascal the other MC’s which should be mentioned are Wiley, Skepta, JME and soon the whole crew Virus Syndicate. But grime also can’t survive in mainstream. It might never wanted to… How Skream said: “Grime picked up the hip-hop disease” like my gun is bigger than yours. ‘ When you go to an event, there was entertainment, rather you should fear. “Grime is closely linked with the emergence of dubstep and it is still intertwined. Many current dubstep DJs come from grime scene (eg. Cotta), often do well grime production (eg. MRK1) or vice versa MC’s work with dubstep producers (The Bug feat. Flow Dan).

At the turn of the millennium, when garage is stagnating the ravers are looking around for a new sound. It was found in two experiments of garage veterans – Zed Bias and El-B, who in their 2step Jamaican beats have started adding features, making them darker and more mature. A dubstep was born. The recipe was simple: take everything that is characteristic of London’s streets and clubs, selections of which only the best and then zmixed it with oriental and Caribbean influences, which interact in the face of this city.

Jamaican dub gave the unmistakable style subbass that on a decent sound vibrates the chest. After a typical bassdrop waking mainly oldschool jungle the bass wave moves from the lowest frequencies through the center,  where often wobble to us back then hammered into the ground. This all happens at the pace in the range of 138 to 142 bpm somewhere between the house and techno. Beat is often accompanied by rap or vocal, but the focus always remains on the DJ. It uses a wide variety of sounds we can hear instrumentality of techno and drum’n’bass elements.
