Dubstep for New Listeners!

When I started listening to Dubstep I disliked it. I couldn’t get my head around the range of artists and the mechanical music. I thought that Dubstep is similar to trance where they just add beats after beats with no poetry, no skill and no soul.

I was wrong.

I was wrong because I was yet to explore and find music that would satiate my hunger for beautiful noise that I wanted from trance but could never get. It was the hunger for the extra bass that wouldn’t suit metal and would sound way off on any kind of pop.

Now, a lot of people want to explore the genre. People keep asking me which artists to listen to when they are new to dubstep. So, here are some of the artists who are easy to listen to for crowd that is coming from metal, rock, hip-hop, pop genres. This is not a definitive playlist for those new to dubstep. If you’re game to explore, find what your ears like and keep on exploring. There is always new, good awesome music out there. Here are the five tracks I think are suitable for new listeners.

Tommy's Theme by Noisia

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breakin' A Sweat - Skrillex 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discord by Midnight Conspiracy

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speechless by Breakage (feat. Donae'o)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Promises - Nero and Skrillex

Enjoyed those? I hope you did. These five are good songs to give listeners a taste of Dubstep, after that it’s up to personal exploration and taste of the artists that you like.

How to find New Dubstep music?

You can search Google for Dubstep, but that would be confusing with SO many results, few of them actually relevant. Best methods would be

1) Explore Twitter for #dubstep and follow the recommendation of people. 

2) Join the Facebook pages of artists you like because the community is strong in the genre and artists often collaborate with other artists and keep offering free music through their FB pages. 

3) You can also search Soundcloud.com for Dubstep, there is some awesome free music there. 

4) There are internet radio channels, you’ve got your apps on smartphones and what not. 

Find songs with female vocals, rap verses, spoken poetry, find slow dubstep, fast dubstep, feel the wobble bass, the wub, it will move you! 

And when you find good music, share with others. If you like the work of artists, buy their music, if you can’t buy it, tell someone who CAN buy it. International readers can go and attend concerts and parties and stuff. 

So, get some deadly speakers, find an hour long dubstep mix, and play it LOUD!

Do share in comments how you liked these tracks and what YOUR favorite tracks/artists are!

Cheers!

Bangarang and Reptile should've been on the list for new listeners, those tracks sound more mainstream.
You guys must checkout Rusko and Netsky as well.
