If you had asked me this in 2009, I probably would have told you to fuck off with your Skrillex shit. This genre has evolved so much from its roots that it swells my heart. Some passion project out of the gutter of London grew into this international phenomenon that shapes the way beats are constructed and international festivals are held.
I love this goddamn genre.
Drum and bass was always more my thing but with how linked the genres are, you sort of end up listening to a lot of dubstep too. I saw Mala live in 2016, and it was absolute quality. Hearing tracks like Anti War Dub and Neverland in a festival setting was something else.
Reso - Temjin is a quality EP influenced by Metal Gear, and I couldn't recommend it enough.
James Blake's Self-Titled album is a very nice mix of R&B and dubstep that he sadly has moved away from (The Colour In Anything is absolutely tedious in my opinion).
Scuba - Triangulation is a good album overall, even though On Deck sounds like a rejected Pitbull instrumental.
Seen Mala twice and DMZ once now. They both bring it live. Tribal shit every time.
Never heard of the others (besides James Blake), I'll queue them up
