Win DubStep Compilation From Onelove

Who invented Dubstep??? Firstly let us be straight with you, Beat.com.au has absolutley no idea who first created Dustep because beat juggling, Half Speed Garage and Drum’N’Bass have been around for well over 20 years. But we are super-stoked to announce the first locally produced Dubstep compilation courtesy of Onelove Records that is called Dubstep Invasion. It has been mixed by Kid Kenobi and Glovecats – both major proponents and innovators among the burgeoning scene – and the compilation features the likes of Chase & Status, Pendulum, Rusko, Example, Bar 9, Sub Focus, Nero, Skream & more. To win simply tell us who invented Dubstep?

The earliest dubstep releases, which date back to 1998, were darker, more experimental, instrumental dub remixes of 2-step garage tracks attempting to incorporate the funky elements of breakbeat, or the dark elements of drum and bass into 2-step, which featured as B-sides of single releases. In 2001, this and other strains of dark garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's club night Forward (sometimes also referred to as FWD>>), which went on to be considerably influential to the development of dubstep. The term "dubstep" in reference to a genre of music began to be used by around 2002, by which time stylistic trends used in creating these remixes started to become more noticeable and distinct from 2-step and grime.

While dubstep is its own distinct form of electronic music, its roots are surely located within Jamaican dub music and soundsystem cultures. Jamaican soundsystem culture gave birth to the dub variety of reggae music, which itself originated many of dubstep's characteristic sounds and sonic techniques. Features like sub-bass (bass less than 100 Hz), skittering and jittery drums (which would later be termed '2-step'), distortive echo and reverberation effects were all used prominently. These features, along with held over soundsystem techniques, went on to form the crux of numerous electronic musics which emerged from Britain, including jungle, garage, and eventually dubstep.
The sound of dubstep originally came out of productions by El-B, Steve Gurley, Oris Jay,and Zed Bias in 1999-2000.

Dubstep was invented in London and involved a number of artists from Black Commonwealth Countries.

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music, originating from South East London. Its overall sound has been described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals"

Whilst not a commonly known fact, Albert Einstein did create the first recognisable forms of dubstep whilst on a scientific study tour to Jamaica & the West Indies in the 1950's. The tapes lay undiscovered in a recording storage facility until 1999, when a West London receivership company came into possession of them, & an employee who worked at the financial institution also DJ'ed at local clubs, sampling Albert Einsteins' recordings.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
