Ever since dubstep rose from the ashes of rave culture and the dark, wet crevices of East London in the late 90s, the genre has grown a considerable following, as the internet continues to expose its wonky tunes to the world. Meanwhile, venerable producers like Starkey, Flying Lotus, and Samiyam (USA) are cropping up outside of dubstep's UK homebase.
And it seems more and more like summer every day here on the east coast, so conditions are not exactly prime for listening to the dark cousin of two-step and grime, but every now and then the wind blows chilly against your bedroom window late at night, and you curl up with that familiar friend that is dubstep. And the fear should leave you cold and dark, but the music knows your pain, and it takes you away to the light.
