It's a style of music that's been around for a few years now, but dubstep finally starting to pick up some steam. It first appeared as out of garage and grime artists, but has since come into it's own. It has a spacey sound, due to it's sparse instrumental, with a distinctive "wobble" of the bass.
It's recent popularity is due some part to uses of it by mainstream acts like Britney and Rihanna. However dubstep acts in their own right have begun to break through, with Magnetic Man, Katy B and Chase & Status all securing recent hits.
For those who know nothing of dubstep, most people would recommend starting with one of these artists, or James Blake, runner up in this year's BBC Sound Of poll. However, in my opinion this "remixed" version of War Of The Worlds is an amazing introduction.
