Dubstep Genre (Planning)

I wanted to take time off to write about the genre that our music video is going to be in for those who don't know. Dub step is a genre of electronic dance music that originated from south London England, it began as an underground movement being played in small south London raves and parties by Dj's who remixed tracks and added darker beats and added drum and beat to the tracks. The tern dub step came around 2002 to describe the sound. In 2005 grime artist started to rap over dub step which created more success for the genre.


The first time I ever heard dub step was as a child like 2am in the morning. I know your thinking what was I doing up but I just could not sleep and there was this pirate radio station that played dub step after midnight. One day I could not sleep so I was searching the radio to find anything intresting then I discovered the radio station and they where playing this new genre and from then I fell in love. It always takes you to a different place the instrumental makes you want to do something crazy and wild and I think that is why it's so popular in clubs and raves.


Radio stations such as BBC Dj John Peel and station Rinse FM helped to spread the sound to a much wider audience. The influence of dubstep in other genres could be traced to 2007 when Britney Spears song freak show was built around the wobbler that is heard in many dubstep songs.
