1. Conventions of Dubstep:
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in south London, England. Its overall sound has been
described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples,
and occasional vocals”.
Dubstep was influenced by UK garage and incorporate elements of drum and bass into the South London-based 2-step
garage sound. it relies on a consistent sub base for the tempo rather that a beat. Dubstep is in half time so it gives that hip
hop effect, Dubstep is generally instrumental. Similar to a vocal garage hybrid - grime - the genre's feel is commonly dark;
tracks frequently use a minor key.
A common characteristic that most Dubstep songs consist of is a wobble base, were an extended base note is manipulated
rhythmically also a bass drop
Dubstep has a 2step rhythm and puts more emphasis on 'dark' baselines and popular bass drops.
