A quick re-hash of the first 10 in this series all in one place!

Dubstep For People Who Hate Dubstep

1: “Promises” by Nero

A nice popish song with a little bit of “heavy” Dubstep near the end. The bass has a lot of wobble to it as well.

2: “Syndicate” by Flux Pavilion

This is a pretty good remix of the videogame Syndicate’s theme song. A recognizable chorus and refrain keeps it from getting too involved in the Dubstep that permeates it.

3: “Summit (w/Ellie Goulding)” by Skrillex

Differentiated from the rest of the songs on the album it comes from by the choice not to rely too heavily on wobbly beats. This song plays with the singer’s voice rather than with the song itself to great effect.

4: “Crystalize” by Lindsey Stirling

This is a song in two parts that at first seem unrelated, but eventually end up complimenting each other quite nicely. The violin plays on its own above the morass of digital music grinding beneath.

5: “Rapid Fire” by Blue Stahli

Not a Dubstep song (and Blue Stahli not a Dubstep artist), this piece comes at the problem of the genre finding footing from the other direction. It focuses on standard song construction adding Dubstep elements into the mix sparingly.

6: “Me and You” by Nero

Much like the first entry in this list, this song by Nero comes off extremely close to straight-forward pop music. The song deviates enough to show its Dubstep roots without getting so far away as to lose mainstream listeners.

7: “What If (w/Jessica Jean)” by Brand Blank

A little heavier on the Dubstep side than most of the others on this list, this song moves back and forth between two genres. On the one side, the Trance influences are obvious, and on the other, zapping Dubstep refrains.

8: “Evil Beauty” by Blackmill

This is another rather unique one on this list as the song could probably stand on its own if you removed all the Dubstep from it. However, the rumbling undercurrent definitely adds a new dimension to the piece.

9: “Riders on the Storm (Remix)” by Jessica Jean

Right off the bat this song hits you with wobble and swipes but quickly backs off and lets a nice remix of a familiar tune take center stage. The Dubstep clings to every stanza of this music, but has the good sense not to interfere too much.

10: “Take Me Away” by Burman

The voice in this piece should be familiar (see number 9, above) and like its predecessor the Dubstep is light, but ever-present. It accents certain points, stopping for a bass-heavy break near the middle.

And that’s the first 10. If you’re interested, I also created a ringtone for “Easter Death Bunny” by Blackburner (not on this list for obvious reasons). You can download it here.
