r/dubstep

Since the start of 2026, the music world has changed
AI Music has now made up at least 28% up to 40% of daily uploads onto these platforms, and a decent chunk belongs to people pushing out AI music solely for profit over any form of creativity
 
With the addition of Spotify "carefully" labeling real musicians who do not use AI Generation, their requirements have left many musicians who don’t use any AI Generation and just below this requirement in the dust.

 
I feel that two additions to both of these platforms will let users / listeners who use these music platforms daily be able to fully understand in a complete transparent way on WHO they are listening to and WHAT they are listening to.
 
If there is enough evidence to show that the artist on this platform is AI Generated and not a real-life musician, it should have an "May Contain AI Generation" label on the artist profile itself, similar to how Spotify now has "Verified By Spotify" so the listener understands that the person behind the songs they are listening to with full transparency.
If there is enough evidence to show that the song on this platform is AI Generated, it should be listed next to the artist name on these platforms with "May Contain AI Generation", so if a listener finds the song on a "Mix" or a "Radio" they are listening to, they are able to view that the song could have AI Generation involved with it.
Considering that both of these platforms have allowed AI Generated Music to be put on the platform and have started to implement a crude method to verify musicians who don’t use AI at all, we need to at least have full transparency that the track was either made by a real human or made by an AI or an Hybrid AI/Human track

His EDC set was fantastic.

Glad to see Tanner back doing his thing.

Visceral was ahead of it's time.

Love his style of blending hip hop into EDM, it feels refreshing in 2026.

Would love to see a Getter b2b Prosecute set, or the more obvious Getter b2b Space Laces

Youtube or soundcloud uploads would be wonderful if anyone's seen any already:

Eazybaked

Boogie T b2b Distinct Motive

Eptic b2b space laces

Charlotte De Witte

Sammy Virji

we’re doing a beach day next weekend with a mix of bassheads and normies for my bday. flow toys will be out! looking for perfect set(s).

my rave family vibe with light-hearted wubby stuff (griz, lsdream, levity, inzo). personally i’ve been into zeds dead, effin, and mary droppinz lately.

skrillex/fourtet/fred again.. is my go-to crowd pleaser, but it’s a bit overplayed for us and i want something different.

want to keep it my taste since it's my bday, but not scare off the normies with too much alien computer noise haha. any suggestions are welcome!! thanks :))

Was it streamed? Did anybody record? Can I have it pls?

Absolutely nobody in the game is taking the creative risks shes is these days. The way shes pushing the boundaries of bass music is UNMATCHED. She continues to stay super original and REFUSES to conform to any of that main stream TikTok click grab content which gives me so much hope for the future of bass music.

** Bonus: INCREDIBLE crowd reaction to this groundbreaking new original AHD track, one if the wildest festival crowds ive seen in a while, place is going absolutely bonkers 🔥🔥🔥

Please I need your recs for more artists like them or song recs! I really enjoy their kinda wonky and straight up punchy sound design!

Edit: somehow I forgot EKLYPSE in this

I used to listen to this song in high school, around 2015 to 2018. It’s definitely dubstep, but it has a sort of dreamy floaty vibe with synths

I tried my best to recreate the part I remember (the beat drop) but it was hard because it’s dubstep, hopefully it helps

Extra info:

I believe the only lyric is the word hey and when it is said, it’s shouted and sounds like an echo right before the beat drop. I think the beat is around 70bpm, and the beat drop sounds like it’s coming in and out of focus if that makes any sense.

the word “hey” is in the background but it sounds very far away like you’re hearing someone yell it from a mountain top across a canyon, and it’s very drawn out.

I thought it might’ve been from NCS (NoCopyrightSounds), because it has that vibe, but I couldn’t find it there either.

This song has been haunting me!!

Curious what song got everyone into dubstep. My brother used to play Skrillex all the time when I was younger but Virus- Excision was the song that got me fully hooked on dubstep.

Pour one out for the homies. Used to love listening to the broadcasts back in like 2010.

I am super into dubstep and 140 through my ex but obviously now we aren’t together I find it hard to find people who will go to events with me!!

I live in Leeds but I am planning to move to Manchester/London eventually and would just love to find some people who share the same taste in music.

I have considered going out solo to events but I find it very scary, Is there any groups etc where people can speak??

It had a semi-steady flow and was a male vocalist basically just saying similar words along the lines of “rip cord, rip jeans, rip lines, rip tracks, etc.”

It had a nice bounce to it with some bass.

What bass halfway through does this guy make that sounds like artists or tracks you know of? So far he’s the only beatboxer in the world to make this bass sound with legendary beatboxers bro my unable to duplicate it

Good day/evening/whatever time it is for you currently. I am a 34 y/o metalhead, who's been itching to get back into DnB and dubstep since i recently unearthed some of my older records and mp3s.

Usually, i seldom touch bases with electronic music - in my experience, i find a good chunk of it too upbeat and simplistic (nothing wrong with those qualities, it's just not the type of energy i seek). Dubstep, however, always hits the spot in that department (even the softer types of it) and when it got viral during mid-to-late odds - i was fascinated by it and didn't hate it at all.

While my metal journey is, pretty much, lifelong, i parted ways with dubstep at some point within the last decade and now i'm realizing, how much i missed it. It would be much appreciated, if anyone could give me some essentials both current and yesteryear, so that i could dive into the artists' discography.

One more thing : to my knowledge (and chagrin) there are still no dedicated and widespread resources that cover dubstep, much like Metal Archives or Metalstorm cover metal. But if any of you know about sites/databases like that - i would be very grateful. Thanks for your time in advance.
