It is a simple dubstep song, showcasing the most important aspect of dubstep, the wobble. However, it does not sound empty, it actually sounds nicely deep, fulfilling, and diverse. This is a great chill-out dubstep that will amaze at the same time. The wobble is as innovative as it gets. While I am not a fan of the original of this song at all just my opinion: I don't like Rihanna, this remix is pretty decent to say the least.
It ascends nicely throughout the song with an original wobble bassline that has a strange yet provocative bird-chirping noise at various intersections of the wobble. Rihanna's vocals complement the dirty dubstep nicely. A great remix of a not-so-great song. Skrillex strikes again, this time with a remix. The original isn't bad, but this remix completely blows it away. Yes, this song has been remixed to death but in my opinion this one is one of the best, with an amazing sense of apprehension and ascension throughout the song and a drop hits you like an anvil falling from the sky.
This is a great remix that sounds fresh and uplifting. I don't particularly like the original surprise, surprise but this remix adds a freshness and sharpness to the song with a long, chilled-out intro leading to a quick, sharp wobble bass, and through clever variations in tempo. Dizzee Rascal's vocals improve the song and they are no burden to Doorly; he incorporates them with extreme skill, using vocals to accentuate the song overall, particularly the drop.
This song is crammed with innovation. The dubstep here is original and really stretches the boundaries of what is perceived as traditional dubstep, just like the music of Skrillex. However, Rusko and Skrillex are completely different, showing the diversity within the genre. This song shows what can be done with a little imagination. It is a nice laid back chill-out song with a reggae feel.
Here, Rusko shows what can be achieved within the genre. This time we have a remix of a Skrillex song. Bare Noize do a great job of making an amazing song even more so. With the creepy vocal "I want to kill everybody in the world" leading up to the extremely varied main bulk of the song, this remix is nothing short of a dubstep masterpiece. There are those who might argue that this is not pure dubstep. If you want to get caught up in the technicalities of particular genres, fine: this awesome song is influenced predominantly by dubstep, with additional influences from other genres.
This song takes everything there is about dubstep, strips it down, and delivers a relaxing tune that is as trippy as it gets. The wobble bass is extremely filthy-sounding with nice changes in tempo and a few interesting sounds thrown in every now and again. Ok, so this one isn't quite dubstep, but I had to include it. It's more drum and bass with a dubstep influence and a general air of epicness surrounding it. It contains some nice little wobbles leaving no doubt that there is some dubstep lurking under the surface.
I know I said this was a list of the 10 best but really, how could I narrow something like dubstep down to just 10? Here are some more awesome songs that must be heard. Okay, okay. This should have been called "25 Best Dubstep Songs". You can either get mad or thank me. It breaks into the beat before bringing on the epic wobble. The mood of the song drags you in and then drags you along.
It is impossible to tear yourself away from the sheer power and animosity that this song conveys. It gives you a brief moment to catch your breath in a break that is oozing with character and emotion before throwing you into an even heavier drop.
This is a really nice dubstep track that does not rely on crazy bass line wobbles, which makes for a nice change. The song is mainly synth and vocal driven. The raw and edgy vocals by Angela Hunte, who has quite an impressive voice suit the song well and contrasts nicely with the smooth-flowing synths.
The beat is well-constructed and overall the song is incredibly catchy and almost impossible not to dance to. This song has both raw emotion and raw character. The beauty of the female vocal flows over the listener, really working its way into your core.
The raw and energetic power of the synths in the intro add character to that beauty. When it first drops, it drops into a lovely dubstep beat in which the resonance of those synths is elevated. The second drop is drum and bass but nonetheless, this is a great song that combines the two genres. The melody in "I Can't Stop" is really outstanding. The strings in the intro instantly set the song up to be a great track and as it fills with emotion, it plops you into a bass-heavy drop that is not only nice and heavy but melodic as well.
The song builds in adrenalin until it finally lets you go after two and a half minutes of sheer intensity. The musicianship of the song really shines through due to the complexity of the melodies and how they sit on each other, while also managing not to sound cluttered. The intro is a throwback to the days of Pendulum Rob Swire, Knife Party member, was front man of Pendulum in a former life and Pendulum used a similar narrated intro in their song "Blood Sugar". This is one of those no-holds-barred, throw-everything-at-the-listener type of dubstep songs.
The drop after the interesting intro is as heavy as they come, with all manners of wobbles and sound effects. It takes no prisoners but takes the prisoner for one hell of a ride. It is a powerful song with a lot of character. This track by the Canadian duo Zeds Dead is an absolute banger.
To the people who say that all dubstep sounds the same, here is a prime example of how it doesn't. The wobbles bring new ideas to the concept of wobble. They sound dirty and gritty while filling the listener with comfort. The vocal is nicely filtered and evokes all kinds of emotions.
This is the second remix of La Roux's "In for the Kill" on this list. While Skrillex's version has power in its apprehension and sheer weight, this remix has power in its pure ability to chill out any listener in any situation.
The bass pulsates throughout the song nicely, complimenting La Roux's haunting voice. It is brilliant in its simplicity, making great use of the space surrounding each element of the song.
It brings you along this emotion-filled journey before throwing you into an unexpected drum and bass drop that is impossible not to move to. This song should be played to anyone who thinks dubstep is emotionless noise.
It's one of the original pioneering remixes of the genre. The intricate drum beat of "NIght" is truly is a joy to listen to. That, coupled with the haunting lead synth that reverbs mysteriously through the empty space of the track, make this song truly excellent. Once again, a relatively simple song with well-constructed ideas delivers due to the sheer brilliance and execution of those ideas. You really do get the impression of a lonely and dark night so it is aptly named "Night".
When this song first came out, it took the underground dubstep scene by storm, and it's still heralded as one of the finest dubstep tracks ever produced. The percussion has layer upon layer of intricacies that make each listen a new experience. The intro is a beautiful synth accompanied by a haunting female voice that interjects every so often. This builds up to a drop that is powerful, not due to any wobbles or intense bass, but due to the lack of them.
The song knows how to use emotion, percussion, and synths to guide the listener through its wonderful soundscape. There is nothing better than a dubstep song that layers on the moods.
This is completely thrown on its head as the song drops, producing an extremely uplifting wobble. When that synth is brought back in it has a completely new vibe, creating an altogether joyous affair.
The second drop slows down the wobble by half, an extremely clever trick which gives the song an extra dimension. This is a great remix of what is already a great song. Lana Del Rey's haunting voice matches Gemini's production perfectly. The intro synth compliments her lyrical ability before giving it space to stand out. After this space the song drops into an amazingly big-scale, epic synth-driven beat.
The song is layered with beautiful synths and melodies; however, through it all, Lana Del Rey's voice is not lost. This song is all about contrasts. The intro is a beautiful piano-based house beat that leads into a emotion-filled vocal break. At this point you don't see how this is dubstep, that is until it drops. Alone, the drop in this song is dirty enough, with raw, energetic wobbling basslines, and a moody 2 step beat, and the funky intro makes the drop seem all the more filthy.
The great thing about Skrillex is that he is consistently good. Here is another great tune from the man who is arguably the most recognizable artist in dubstep. The intro has an edgy vocal over an interesting minimal melody that wastes no time in propelling the listener straight into one of Skrillex's iconic drops. You know what to expect here; pure, unfiltered, filthy goodness. This song has more of an edge than some of his other productions, providing an apprehension in that vocal that elevates to a new level.
This is a beautiful song with a tantalizing vocal. The song has an air of mystery about it, which is accentuated by the video that portrays some sort of dystopian, futuristic society reminiscent of George Orwell's "". The song has a rhythmic, fast-paced beat, giving it a sense of urgency before it drops into the chorus which almost feels like a relief. The wobbling bass in the chorus is a very subtle and nice touch.
As the title suggests, this song has bass in it. Which is never a bad thing. Particularly in dubstep. Don't be surprised if robots invade the next Lost Lands when this one comes on. It doesn't matter how long it's been since you've listened to "Sunlight" - when it comes on, the lyrics will instantly come back to you. Modestep created one of the catchiest tunes in dubstep history, and close to a decade later, it shows no signs of being dethroned.
Equal parts nature documentary and dubstep, Knife Party 's "Centipede" gave listeners a free science lecture before exposing them to bass-fueled chaos.
Although they tested out several genres over the course of their career, this continues to be one of the hardest-hitting tracks in the duo's library.
Adventure Club 's classic remix of Flight Facilities' "Crave You" is forever held near and dear to the hearts of dubstep fans around the world. Looking back at its legacy years later, it appears as though it inadvertently became a precursor to the sound dominating the current era of bass music.
