DubStep’s origins can be traced to the mid-90s London garage scene. The music was majorly characterized by bass and drums, with interspersed vocals to complement the sound. A promotion flyer aptly described this genre of music: Bass lines that will make your chest cavity shudder. DubStep had a slow start in London, but took the music industry by storm in 2005. Since then, mainstream artists like Snoop Dogg and Britney Spears have collaborated with DubStep artists. Search the internet and you will find DubStep remixes of contemporary artists that will blow your mind.

Here is the list of Top Ten DubStep artists of all time:
