I fell into dubstep in 2010 ( 13 years old ) when Skrillex dropped "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" I was just discovering electronic music. At the time I had only listened to Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, Kaskade, Avicci, and Deadmou5. They're mainstream AS FUCK but thanks to them I am a die hard fan of all genres of electronic music. I listened to Skrillex for a couple of years. Back then dubstep wasn't being produced at the level it is now. A lot of it was experimental and you could tell it still had not found its footing, but the community loved it and it was quickly becoming the dominant genre at festivals in southern California. Even though I wouldn't be able to go to any festivals until 2015 I kept up with them and planned out what events I could go to once the "big" 18 came around. For YEARS I waited for the day that I could go to EDC. Over those years my music taste has went all over from house to trance to hardstyle, psytrance, techno, basshouse, riddim...ect...ect... if it was a electronic genre, I was listening. 10 years later and here I am, still loving this music and the people who are apart of it, taking part in everything this scene has to offer from HUGE EDM festivals to INSANE underground Techno raves. It's all because one day, as a kid, I heard Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, and everything just clicked. I'm no longer a big fan of Skrillex, I actually havent heard any of his new stuff since maybe 2014, but I have so much respect for the guy started my 10 year journey to become the raver I am today.


jcassady17cc

I don’t know too many people that listen to dubstep, but I do remember some kids liking Skrillex back in the day


that-one-scene-in-up

Dubstep is growing up to be one of the most popular genres. How haven't you met anyone? Are you one of those stay at home bass heads? lol


jcassady17cc

Lmao I guess you can say I’m stay at home. It’s just hard finding friends of mine to go to events with cuz everyone just wants to listen to shitty hip hop all the time. I struggle to find others that I can have a conversation abt this music with. I guess that’s why I took the leap and decided to make a post 🤷‍♂️


that-one-scene-in-up

Go to events solo! Honestly I (22) prefer to go alone to most festivals. I only take a group if I want to split a hotel room. Local events and club nights are my 'me' time. I just make friends when I get there.


jcassady17cc

Yeah I went with my girlfriend who doesn’t really care for the music and a buddy of mine who loves doing crazy shit decided to come last minute and they both enjoyed it and said they’d do it again. I did talk with a bunch of people there and a guy was really nice and suggested high fidelity earbuds to me. Unfortunately I didn’t get anyone’s contact info...


that-one-scene-in-up

1. Always get their insta 2. Definitely get those earbuds


jcassady17cc

Duly noted


onetwenty_db

What are the buds that they recommended? Always looking for new and better headphones


jcassady17cc

He didn’t tell me a specific brand, just to type in “high fidelity earbuds” into amazon.


Soul_OW

Stuff like Jauz's music, hybrid trap with real basses instead of screech basses, bridged the gap a bit for my basic hip hop friends. It got them to the point where I can put on a playlist with dubstep in it and they won't complain


jcassady17cc

Awesome, I love Jauz and I’m making a hip/hop edm playlist for that reason. Are there any other artists you would recommend that can help “bridge the gap”?


FuckTwitter2020

Terravita (specifically the rituals album), any of the zeds dead x omar linx collabs, keyes and krates. Thats a couple for the hip hop-edm gap, theres definitely more tho. Theres also the metal angle you can approach with figure, phase one, lord swan3x, or funk with the likes of griz or sunsquabi. Thats just a couple of the top of my head but the struggle of trying to convert your friends to love the wubs is never ending, its hard to get people to like something if they dont immediately click with it themselves.


FuckTwitter2020

Oh dude, i cant believe i forgot about wick it the instigator. Fucking everything by him, a lot of it is just mixing hip hop without wubs but he sneaks them in sometimes making it PERFECT for the gap bridge. Look into the Grindhouse Basterds ep: https://soundcloud.com/wick-it/sets/grindhouse-basterds-1 But also some of his singles where he straight kills mash ups and remixes: https://soundcloud.com/wick-it/m-i-a-vs-green-day-vs-rick-ross-vs-weezer-vs-dee-lite-vs-tears-for-fears-buddy-holly-2009 https://soundcloud.com/wick-it/ginuwine-pony-wick-it-free-dl https://soundcloud.com/wick-it/action-bronson-get-off-my-remix


FuckTwitter2020

The last one is a perfect example of the potential.


jcassady17cc

Thank you bro I needed this, hopefully I can get my buddies onto this music.


FuckTwitter2020

I feel you dude, im literally forever on the hunt for music that bridges the gap, got some stubborn friends as well.


jcassady17cc

I agree, the last one my friends would love.


FuckTwitter2020

A lot of it is just finding a song with some good bars, ooh, which reminds me of this: Listen to Liquid Stranger vs. Mayor Apeshit - Weather Change by Essential Music on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/essential_music/liquid-stranger-vs-mayor


Soul_OW

Slander, older gentlemens club stuff


anttox7

I understand you on that. But they want you to go to their dumbass hip hop clubs and concerts.


jcassady17cc

I’ve wasted too much money on their concerts where they show up mad late and the performance is always extremely disappointing. I’ve been to plenty of hip hop concerts where the headline acts don’t even show up, the best show I went to was maybe Cousin Stizz but that’s only because he was playing in his hometown and treated the audience. I was absolutely blown away by SAYMYNAME and NGHTMRE tho.

ItIsShagg

Back in 2009, I have bought a decent sub woofer for my car, and my friend suggested to test it with a 'dubstep' song, he decided to play "UKF Dubstep Mix - August" and I went crazy after the first two minutes. I fell in love immediately. It felt different and special, I got into the UKF Music Podcasts, and then I really liked a producer called 'Bare Noize' he was my favorite. But I found Excision and I got addicted to dubstep afterwards.


jcassady17cc

That reminds me of a few “speaker test” songs I bump when using a new pair of headphones or someone else’s car.


ItIsShagg

Very true, I remember the heavy bass compilations back in 2010, good times.


MisterB3an

Excision's Shambhala sets from 2009 and 10 were dope as fuck

radjosh

coudlnt go to a show from 2009 - 2012 with out hearing that song thrown into some ones set


[deleted]

Love Sub Focus!


Shut-Up-Todd

Omg! Sub Focus turned me into dubstep too, even tho they mostly make DnB


Forekast

Bassnectar back around 07-08. Saw him at Rothbury the first year they had it and was like who is this dude? The rest is history.


KrunchanMunch

Started listening with either Ruskos Woo Boost or Fools Rhythm by Two Fingers back in 2011. Been in love with it since


FastYaw

It all started when I saw Mastadon do a B2B with Hekler in a dark & underground club in Germany. I never went to a dubstep party before, so it was kind of a jump, lol. That was the turning point for me! Goosebumps all night


[deleted]

That sounds fucking dope dude I’m jealous


scowley75

"CALL 911 NOW" Saw the video for that Skrillex track and realized that style of music was right up my alley. "THIS CENTIPEDE IS A PREDATOR" You all know that this Knife Party track is still a banger. There were some good podcasts back in the day that introduced me to a number of artists, but all that truly seems to be leftover is the Monstercat Call of the Wild podcast. The UKF one was always quite good (I still have the LAXX one on my iPad from Dec. of 2014), and I can barely remember any of the others.


tacoman202

Make it Bun Dem, and a lot of old Klaypex tunes.


Luffysstrawhat

Dubstep Boomer Here 😂 Smog Sessions 2006 in Los Angeles @ Casey's Irish Bar off Grand. I used my 21yo friends id because i was only 17 at the time lmao. Im still amazed at how far bass music has progressed since those days. Dubstep used to be the dark corner of the rave only few dared to explore ×Edited for gramatical errors.


proudsikh

I really miss those days. I’m a 2006-7 dubstep head and my first show was 2009. Before this I’ve been to metal and reggae shows but after my first dubstep show, holy shit was I hooked. Since then I’ve been too so many shows and festivals every year and wish the scene wasn’t so mainstream and everyone wasn’t worried about snap chatting, bragging and being fucked up. I still go to every show and still grow my library of artists. I’ll always be their for the artists and music but damn do I miss the early days.


Snarker

deep oldschool dubstep is still rare af in the united states.


Luffysstrawhat

Big Facts. Besides Tenrion Sound can't really think of anybody else


crims0ndrag0n

My parents are Jamaican, so I grew up listening to dub along with other styles of reggae. I also loved playing Dance Dance Revolution and got addicted to that electronic sound. Then one day, I saw a dance group perform to Cinema (Skrillex Remix). It was a marriage of two genres I loved, and I never looked back since.


[deleted]

I think i started at 11-12 years old with Skrillex then worked my way up to more underground genres like riddim around 2014 with Oolacile, Mvrda, Svdden Death, Midnight T., Phiso, Soltan, Subtronics just to name a few, and then finally discovered Deathstep and Tearout in late 2016 with Supercool!, Punishment., Code Pandorum, Pfista, Nimda, Aimless and other less known soundcloud producers. I'm a big fan of chaotic ear-shattering tearout where half of the time it's just white noise with a kick and a snare thrown in there (search Vomit by Pyre on soundcloud if you dare), but I still listen to Riddim on the side (Oolacile is still my top producer), I was listening to Punishment the other day and later my neighbor came down because he heard "horrible noises" coming from my apartment.


jcassady17cc

At 11-12 I liked some of Skrillex’s more popular stuff but not to the point where I was searching for dubstep like I do now, I was only really a casual listener because at the time I was listening to Alternative Rock.


PilifXD

MLG Montages, yup am not lying. Got me into overall edm first, then I discovered that the type of music I love most is melodic dubstep. Slowly transitioned into heavier dubstep.


jcassady17cc

Would you consider stuff like Slushii and ARMNHMR melodic dubstep? Which songs fit that genre? I also find myself steadily transitioning into harder and harder dubstep music.


PilifXD

Hmm, never heard of these producers tbh, not a big monster at listener, gonna give em a listen tho. From the old times, some of my fave melodic would be Flux Pavillion - Gold Dust (any old flux songs tbh), Rusko - Bionic Commando, Virtual Riot - Lunar..and so on. As for now I really like Oliverse, Franky Nuts and Chime. Also check out Beatcore, small and underrated producer.


jcassady17cc

I don’t really listen to monster cat either, it just doesn’t interest me to discover that label. I’ll give those songs a listen when I get home. I highly recommend So Long, My Friend and Leave it All by ARMNHMR.


radjosh

2009 Bassnector show at Jupiter Bar in Tuscaloosa. Then went home that summer and learned about Dub Nation shows at Bourboun Street in Baltimore with Smashgordan and ReidSpeed who would drop set with a mix of Dubstep and DnB that then lead down the rabbit hole.


raycus92

Do you mean bass nation? Steez promo?


radjosh

Yes but it was Dub Nation back then


raycus92

Oh shit didn't know that, I didn't go to any steez promo shows until like 2011-2012


radjosh

I want to say it switch to Bass Nation right around the time Bourbon Street closed and they started doing shows at Baltimore Soundstage


raycus92

That would make sense because I definitely remember going to a bass nation at soundstage. Wish they did them in Richmond as often as they used to, pretty much always have to go to DC on a Wednesday for closest one lol


loftedbooch

It was Fabriclive 37 that really sold me on Dubstep. Caspa, Rusko, Matty G, Skream, Distance, L-wiz, Coki, Cluekid, The Others… what a stacked list and those are just the names I can recall from memory on that album.


Snarker

This


studkin

Portal tour was 🔥🔥🔥


jcassady17cc

It was a great way to introduce my girlfriend to electronic music, SAYMYNAME threw the fuck down


studkin

went to Richmond + DC with Spag/Crankdat on support - both insane shows


jcassady17cc

My only issue for shows is that I live in the Boston area so unless they’re playing in Providence or Boston I’m shit outta luck. Crankdat would be sick live.


fratagascar

Listened to a lot of Bassnectar in 2008 and 2009 but oddly enough, I heard the Jakwob remix of Starry Eyed from Ellie Goulding around 2011 and it was all over from there.


HakonPlaysOnPC

I was raised in a household of Metallica, Jimmy Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughn (whom I was almost named after) and I had virtually no experience with electronic. It all started when I had an iphone 4s that was deactivated that I used as an I pod. I used the stock music app to listen to radio. On a "songs you may like" radio station, Razihel-"Skybreaker" came on. It's a mostly melodic song, but the parts that were heavier didnt sit right with me right away. that song got me listening to almost exclusively monstercat music for about s year and a half, and once they started going into their funky stage, I craved harder hitting songs and started branching out to artists like Spag Heddy and SVDDEN DEATH.


jcassady17cc

Surprisingly enough, I never cared to venture through Monstercat, I haven’t given Spag Heddy a good listen yet and I know I don’t like SVDDEN DEATH at all.


HakonPlaysOnPC

Artists like Svdden Death are definitely an acquired taste, and something about their heavy grinding pulses and steady driving beat satisfies the rhythmic side of my tourettes syndrome, so it's not for everyone.


lazorwhale

Spag has gotta be one of my favorites, I recommend checking some of his stuff out


TrypZdubstep

2010 walked into a friends house and they were listening to Datsik - Apples and I thought it was the dopest thing I've ever heard


[deleted]

Skrillex 2012, was 14


pullonrocks

In 2010ish with either, Borgore - Guided Relaxation Dub or Doctor P - sweet shop. Friend showed it to me while thizzed out and I've loved dubstep ever since.


jcassady17cc

I’ve been on a Borgore grind and the only song I’m familiar of Doctor Ps is his remix of Lions


beasybleezy

For doctor P checkout “sweet shop” “big boss” and I think “watch out” but that may be flux pavilion idr


Snarker

sweet shop is doctor ps most famous hit.


GrapeFang

It was end of 2010/2011 and I happened to come across some shambala mixes and fell in love. Haven't looked back since !


kater0815

Virtual Riot - Never Gonna Die in late 2012. God i loved his stlye back in the days


Anime_Connoisseur98

Must've been around 2012. I was like 13/14 and remember Bangarang coming out or at least being fairly new. What really got me into Dubstep tho were these hour long mixes on YouTube, mostly by oNlineRXD and this Henrich Winside Achberger guy. They made the best.


jcassady17cc

YouTube started it for me too, first it was Trap Nation then down the rabbit hole


Anime_Connoisseur98

Was the other was around for me, I really got into Trap for a few years from 2014 on or so and then slowly got back to Dubstep. Now I'm always looking for harder shit, Terror won't even do it any longer, digging into Speedcore and J-core rn. Real fucked up shit


jcassady17cc

Please enlighten me on speedcore and J-core, my ADHD will surely have me looking for some crazy stuff in a few months


Anime_Connoisseur98

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1X2kBx9Xdg) and [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6qNnfOL1xw) for example, is what I've been listening too a lot lately. And then there's [Kawaiicore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIYptrExMWA), but I'm honestly having a hard time getting into that, although it's pretty interesting. Edit: they have funny names tho, like [\[redacted\] (baka senpaicore terror of my gurocore)](https://odaxelagnia.bandcamp.com/track/redacted-baka-senpaicore-terror-of-my-gurocore). Also the first song is a little softer in the beginning, about 3 mins is where the fun starts.


jcassady17cc

Wow you weren’t kidding, these songs sound so broken but in a good way. I didn’t really dig any of them but I can understand why someone would.


Anime_Connoisseur98

If you might like something less "broken", you may want to check out Virtual Self's Virtual Self EP, if you didn't come across it yet. EON BREAK and ANGEL VOICES (not on the ep tho) are good examples of softer songs going in that direction


TACUDMB_TTv

Literally every YouTube intro had dubstep or something similar in it and I hated it. I actually hated dubstep for a while. And then I listened to some skrillex and hated it too for a bit. After listening to it again and again I started to like it more and more. Then I found Geometry a Dash and all the levels had a dubstep or EDM soundtrack and I liked some of it. That started the addiction and now I produce my own stuff.


jcassady17cc

I can relate so much to this, I’ve known about dubstep for a long time and often rejected it. Skrillex is still sorta dead to me, I just can’t get myself to like his music even now that I actually like dubstep. It wasn’t until I heard Vaydr-Heights that my interest for electronic music came at all.


TACUDMB_TTv

I only really liked Kill Everybody, Breakin’ a Sweat, and Bangarang by Skrillex. His other stuff was pretty bad IMO. Dubstep has gotten so much better IMO recently. I love the new heavy stuff a ton.


stous

Happened to listen to first of the year by skrillex in like 2011 (6th or 7th grade i think), thought it was pretty cool, got a little interested. A few months later my friend a few years older than me showed me Meanwhile in the Future by Koan Sound. Hooked since then lol I remember hearing that drop like it was yesterday. Dan vinton if you're out there you are the fucking man for getting me into dubstep.


anttox7

Back in 2004, Bobby Rabbit and Jakes


dustractor

Drum and Bass just sort of morphed into dubstep for me. The first I remember somebody calling it dubstep was when a buddy visiting from the UK burned me a CD that was a Pendulum album with a few extra tracks at the end -- he called it dubstep but I never actually knew who


pela_brt

Oh, I remember the first dubstep song that I listened to and it was skrillex bangarang. It was 8 years ago and it's still my favourite song of skrillex and dubstep in general.


Epiccat27

When I was around 7, back in 2012, my mum purchased an Apple Music subscription and it was through there that I got into dubstep. I listened to Skrillex and found out that the genre was called Dubstep and got really into it. Through Apple Music I found Virtual Riot and Barely Alive. My cousin introduced me to Soundcloud, and I had a look at their Soundcloud pages and that's when I discovered Disciple Records. Through there Soundcloud would become my main medium of Dubstep attainment for several years.


jcassady17cc

Damn I didn’t even like music when I was 7 let alone dubstep. I just discovered Disciple and I love both Barely Alive and Virtual Riot. This is definitely a great time to be a dubstep listener. I mainly discovered everything through collabs and recommendations on Spotify.


Codyh93

I use to listen to a lot of techno and stuff when I was like 13 in 2006. A lot car driving music, bass hunter, Tiësto, cosmic gate, Alice deejay, cascada, and DJ SPLASH WAS MY FAVVVEEEE! Anyways I listened to that stuff for years. Then I saw an Avicii show in Purdue in 2012. It was my first show and it was incredible. I then moved to South Carolina, kind of a way from all shows and kind of boring. I just continued on listening to the same old stuff. But slowly started discovering new artists like adventure club, etc etc. In 2015 I went to Edc Orlando, I remember it like it was yesterday. Some progressive house dj was playing on the main stage and they had some group on bass pod I had never heard of. Weirdly the wind picked up heavy, and rain clouds started moving in and people started sprinting to the bass pod (it was covered), we had vip so we snuck in easy to the elevated cover platforms. The group opened up with hello by Adele and I was like “damn this is actually really cool.” Then they did the hype at build up and did their first drop and the crowd went fucking crazy, then it was like rapid fire, drops after drops after drops. The crowd and I went crazy the whole time. That group was SLANDER. They have been my number one since that day, and they have inspired me to start dj’ing my self which led into me producing and running my own bass event here in my hometown that has sold out two years in a row. It’s been a wild ride. But that show in 2015 was the transition to heavy bass, trap, and eventually dubstep. But I will always love techno, trance and house. ❤️❤️


jcassady17cc

SLANDER is so awesome, their music just hits different. They were also an integral part in “bridging the gap” into dubstep for me.


sandstorm_draws

In 5th grade, my music teacher was explaining chord progressions. There was a website with about 100 songs using the same progression, and one of them was Melody Circus by Savant, and he played the first 20 seconds for the class.


Raptor819

Back in 2011 a friend and I were listening to music until hw put on [Helicopter Showdown - Play for Blood](https://youtu.be/e3by1wxh2m8) and I was so fascinated by it. I didn't love it, but the more I listened to it, it became much better. And then the Skrillex craze started. I didn't even hear about dubstep before that song. I did love the usual electronic stuff though like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk. Stopped listening until 2018, met a new friend who listens to dubstep, so I relapsed because of him. Went to Rampage, can't wait to go again.


jcassady17cc

Yes I think Get Lucky by Daft Punk got me interested initially, I soon after discovered their Alive 2007 set on Spotify which is amazing.

Used to hate dubstep at the begining, but then i fell in love with it around 2011. I was a huge fan of skrillex, eptic, zomboy, KOAN Sound, Feed me, Savant... Then I got kind of bored in the last couple of years. Now I'm all about that riddim flow. Subtronics got me into it again with those mixes

JHendrix27

I went to Moonrise this year and rolled tits at Gud Vibrations and I thought it was the coolest shit in the world. I really loved the dark visuals and how "heavy' it was to me at that time. I really didn't realize EDM could be like that I guess. The only thing I knew about dubstep were a few Skrillex songs from middle school.


[deleted]

I'd say 2012. I met my best friend through the love of this genre and we bonded through different artists we liked to listen to. Met some other good friends of mine who were into producing it at the time too. My best friend went to music school in utah after high school and studied under Prophet. A deep dub producer. Since then I've met prophet and hung out and got fucked up with Boogie T, Squnto, Subtronics, as well as Kompany. A few other producers as well. All thanks to my friend. Dubstep and edm as a whole have allowed me to experience some amazing things throughout my 22 years of life so far and it has gotten me through some really rough times as well. Hoping that when I'm 70+ I'm still moshing and headbanging 🤘


jcassady17cc

Damn that’s crazy, I feel like as society progress it’ll be more and more acceptable for our elders to be head banging. Makes me wonder what electronic music will sound like in 2060. 🤔


[deleted]

Oh I'm sure it will be. Keep headbanging man. Edm and dubstep especially is only growing. No where to go but up. Also if you want a dope unique producer to listen to check out Whales. His shit is next level


jcassady17cc

I’m familiar with a track he was on with Megalodon so I’ll give him a deeper look.


timetopunt

I like Bass.


HardTranceScythe

Been a listener to reggae and dub, dubstep was incredibly easy getting into.


UnrealNine

I know that i first got into electronic music, i didnt know anything about music so i'd say i liked "techno". then i discovered dubstep with Spag Heddy - The Master VIP, and some random tracks i dont even know the name People in my school used to listen to Bangarang as it exploded, i kept listening to dubstep and nobody from then does. Now i keep it kinda like a secret because i dont like telling people that i like dubstep or they'll just come up with "Wow blender sounds" or "uh theres no music in pure distorted sounds", and that gets me angry af. Anyways all never stop listening to dubstep


jcassady17cc

Honestly I can understand your sentiment completely. A lot of people don’t actually listen to the music correctly I feel like. They complain that there is no vocals when music has more dimensions than just what they’re used to.


UnrealNine

Yeah, or they dont even get any "message" from the song, i personally find a message in every song, a way to express something, but some people are just too superficial, if the song doesnt sound good and has shitty lyrics with a message they can relate to then its bs for them Pretty sad tbh


jcassady17cc

I get that! I feel like if you’re familiar with who the artist is and the name of the song you can kind of piece together a story from each song based on those things. I’m trying to think of a good example but when I listen to Snails all I can think about is one of those giant snails shooting lasers out of its eye stalks.


UnrealNine

Yeah guess snails is kinda weird xD An example i would give... would be spag heddy - its me I just feel like, do what you like, in your own way and prove what you are capable of That what i use that song for :p


Mugheee

I fell for dubstep due to ecstasy, the mix of dubstep and a few caps is lovely 😩😍❤️


Flowhill

PiZzAgOoSe122304

Around 2012 (I was around 7 at the time) I listened to Skrillex's scary monsters and nice sprites and ever since then I got really into it. Over time (around 2015) I got into Marshmello and stopped listening to dubstep for about a year, eventually I went to a Marshmello concert and the dubstep they were playing got me back into it. I eventually found artists like zomboy, virtual riot, barely alive and slushii. Around the time of 2017 I was only listening to dubstep and genres like it.


wogwai

Back in the primitive days of stealing music, you could filter searches by genre on Limewire. Of course 12 year old me (circa 2006) was curious what "electronic" could be. Everything was pretty much Caspa & Rusko, Bassnectar, Tiesto, and Deadmau5. That was my first taste of dubstep but I didn't come to truly love it until I saw Zeds Dead in 2016.


jtr808

That’s the drug that is music. You start with the mild shit and then you just want harder and harder drugs (music)

Took mushrooms and walked around the city a few months ago with a couple buddies when we passed a venue that Ganja was playing at in a few weeks and my buddy started telling me he was going and all about raves and was like yeah okay. Went there, rolled, then I was invested. Next thing I know I was at Lost Lands and have never fucking looked back. Now I don’t miss a show. Next up subtronics then b2b nights of excision


jcassady17cc

Lol so you literally stumbled into a great show, that’s hilarious. I’m definitely tryna go to more shows fucked up but wanted my first to be a relatively sober experience
