Dubstep for all!

I'm going to skew off my normal "band reviews" tonight and introduce an entire genre of music. I've decided to do this because unless you listen to "electronic music" fairly often you probably haven't heard of this genre.

Dub-step can be divided into two main sub genres;
1.) Happy Dub: Syncs up with your heart and puts you into a state of euphoria you've never tasted before. Imagine a pulsing bass, more bass layered over that, with some D&B poured in, and some sampled vocals every now and then.
Taken Best: In the cyberpunk future that awaites us, or snowboarding.

Listening instructions: turn up bass and volume. Careful on your landing, this track will make you fly. "Cockney Violin" by Rusko.

2.) Dark Dub: it slithers into your ears, melts your brain, mutes your heart, and teaches your soul the cosmic rhythms of being. It's like someone took the standing wave from a car with one of the back windows open, slowed it down, and then turned up the bass. Sprinkle melody for flavor.

Taken Best: At an oxygen bar with funky lights, or just when you've run out of acid.

Prepare to take a shower after this one cause it's some dank dub. "Sensi Samurai" by the Widdler.

To wrap up, I have a gift for you! "Dubstep.fm"... check out the archives for free dubstep (but please make a donation if you like what you hear). My personal favorites are usually the smoke sessions, so check it out and lemme know what you think.

Sincerely,
Sherwood

p.s. Going back to school so updates will be reduced to twice a week.
