Quoted By:
Dubstep is the dance form of dub. Dub is a religious music from Rastafarian and primarily Jamaican influences. Listen to King Tubby and you'll hear what I mean when I say that dubstep is and always has been that sound from south London where many Jamaicans have lived for a long time.
Listen to King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, Lee Scratch Perry, Prince Jammy - then listen to Benga, Coki, Mala, Distance and Plastician and then tell me that skrillex is dubstep with a straight face.
