Dubstep has taken an interesting path. Usually as EDM sub-genres gain popularity they transition from these fun, accessible sounds to deep, techy, glitchy grooves that only appeal to the most die-hard fans.* But it seems dubstep is on the opposite path.
* Just ask Sasha or the Plump DJs about this.
Born out of the glitchy bass wobble dubstep defined itself by being inaccessible, yet as it has gained popularity we’ve seen a slew of far more melodic and less dirty dubstep tracks and remixes. This warming trend has culminated with a budding sub-genre called “Lovestep” or “Luvstep” (it’s so new they haven’t even settled on a name yet).
Big, sweeping melancholy melodies over slightly glitchy bass laden beats? Having come up a trance lover you know I’m all in. So in our Friday Five format here’s a little taste of EDMs newest melodic sub-sub-genre. Enjoy! <3
