Lol! They are pretty awsome.
When I throw i usually listen to either
Rusko, Datsik, excision, knife party, skrillex, or zomboy. All dubs good old or new doesnât matter 
and? I also listen to rock and metal. He puts a rock twist on electronica music. I like that.
I like Knife Party. Thatâs dubstep.
Not dubstep:
DEADMAU5!!!
Feed Me
Skrillex
Dillon Francis
Zedd
Wolfgang Gartner
These artists ^^^ are dance, not dubstep.

Unfortunately skrillex and knife party are both modern dubstep or âbrostepâ as itâs termed. I consider Dance just an overall genre like how you could call dubstep techno. Dubstep is a pretty large genre overall.
Dubstep is not a large genre, its not like ârockâ or âpunkâ which encompasses many sub-genres under a general name. Dubstep involves a lot of elements taken from other forms of electronic music, but if it is not sitting around 140 BPM, doesnât revolve around complex evolving two step or four on the floor drum patterns and isnât dominated by an omnipresent bass/sub bass line it is not dubstep.

140 BPM with the dominant beats sounding like theyâre in half-time or 70BPM is how I heard it described. But what the hell do I know? I may have heard it from a young person but Iâm old.
Rather be listening to KimbraâŚ
Yup yup, lots of cut time stuff going on. But that wouldnât cut the BPM in half(it would in fact sound doubled, not halved) , just makes a notes value half of what it is in a standard time. Bringing up the pace and feel of the track.
A lot of these older London producers are seriously talented musicians and producers with a heavy music theory background.
A Digital Mystikz remix of a Skream track, think this one is a Mala mix. And a classic, the original and this.
Apologies if this isnât a good quality rip; on my phone and canât listen to it at the moâ. Good luck if you has no subwoofer.

Sorry I ment large as in plenty of artists, because many people only know a few. I completely agree on the 140 bpm. How do you feel about skrillex, knife party and zomboy? Their bpm is also around 140.
I like to throw to Mitisâs Music
Any EDM except 50% of David guetta songs.
Feed Me does make dubstep. Maybe you havenât heard all of his songs?
No, sir, thatâs nonsense.
Itâs not real DubstepâŚ
ITâS NOT REAL DUBSTEPâŚ

Thatâs not dubstep! Itâs clearly⌠hard-trance-dub-indie-tech-core!

Halo Nova, or Nick Pittsinger, is now under the alias âVarien.â Just wanted to tell you in case you didnât know.
Iâm not going to distinguish which is dubstep, glitch hop, electro house, etc, but this is what I listen to:
Ephixa
Varien
Direct
Droptek
Insan3Lik3
Muzzy
Noisestorm
Skrillex
Knife Party
Obsidia
OVERWERK
Pegboard Nerds
Rezonate
Rogue
Stephen Walking
Tristam
Stereotronique
Thatâs all I can think of. I love Monstercat, as you can tell.
Might as well link a random song, while Iâm at it.

Knife Party is not dubstep.
Itâs 175 bpm Drumstep. A mixture of Drum And Bass, and dubstep. MOSTLY. But they have some other stuff too, for the most part its not dubstep.
Skrillex is edm for the most part.
Deadmau5 does have some dubstep. The second half of raise your weapon is dubstep.
Gotta have that 140 bpm with some wobbles and whatnot.
I saw Datsik a few weeks ago live. And the music didnât even matter. You couldnât even make out what the noises were. It was just sub bass attacking your body. Crazay.
The wobble-y stuff isnât really what youâre after. That tends to be mid-range stuff, what you hear and feel coming from the subs is the sub-bass sitting underneath the âwobbleâ. You can blame that fad on Ruskoâs âCockney Thugâ.
For the most part dubstep is drums, a bass/sub-bass line, and an intermittent synth part(which may be substituted for a rendered classical instrument, or a manipulated existing track of one(ahem, a dub?). See Skreams âMonsoonâ(and Loefahâs remix) for some nice cello. But frequently there is almost no mid-line, pretty much just drums and bass. The thing that makes this Skrillex insanity the most annoying is all the screechy mid range stuff, its jarring, unpleasant and totally unlike anything what dubstep is.

I get this, but are you saying thereâs no room for innovation or differences within a genre? Pretty boring-â â â â â â â â â if you canât mix it up. And Skillrexâs stuff (though I donât like all that screechiness either) proves that you can bring something new and become popular for it.
I mean, if everyone followed the exact. same. formula. then what would be the point of there being different artists at all? And what would differentiate them? Breaking new ground is to be admired, not slagged, in my opinion.
Why is our great yoyoer/electronica listening community debating over what is true dubstep?
Just listen to what you like, and be proud of it. Simple.
