Post Dubstep

Post-dubstep emerged in the late 2000s in the UK, when artists decided that merely dropping the bass was not quite enough and began to explore more complex soundscapes that could make even a quiet cup of tea sound dramatic. Characterised by its fusion of electronic elements, fragmented rhythms, and a healthy dash of nostalgia, it sounds like a melancholic rave where everyone forgot their glow sticks but remembered their feelings. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to dance and contemplate your life choices all at once, which can be quite a juggling act in a crowded club.
