Dubstep

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the late 1990s in the UK. It is characterized by its sparse, syncopated rhythmic patterns, heavy basslines, and prominent sub-bass frequencies that create a deep, rumbling sound. The tempo typically ranges from 135 to 150 beats per minute, with frequent use of wobbling or "wobble bass" effects achieved through modulation. Dubstep often incorporates drum patterns with sharp, punchy beats and may include elements like sampling and synthesized sounds. It's popular in club scenes and has influenced various music styles worldwide.
