Is this considered to be Dubstep? This sounds a lot different from the other stuff I've heard under the guise of "Dubstep." I like it, it's good stuff really, though it sounds like downtempo or ambient to me. Just curious on where the line is on what is considered Dubstep these days since I've been hearing a good number of tunes labeled as Dubstep sounding like something completely different. I guess I thought Dubstep implied that there was a heavy emphasis on bass, particularly the technique of making it "wobble." Of course I don't know what I'm talking about, was hoping you all could shed some light on that for me. I'm starting to think maybe the genre is broader than I had first perceived.

Edit: Just occurred to me that maybe the artist usually uses a lot of bass and thus is considered a Dubstep artist even if all tracks aren't strictly Dubstep. Is this why it's considered as such perhaps?

tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals <--- wikipedia
I would also add that the shuffled percussion style of UK garage often finds its way into dubstep as well as 'deep' or 'dark' vibes.

wobble does not constitute dubstep... wobble wasn't invented until years after the genre was conceived.

dubstep is easy to tell on the standard 3/4 measured kick and 140bpm with, of course, the bassy focus but the darker deeper side of dubstep is typically very very very downtempo and what you'd imagine would be played in the darkest quietest corners with no party, maybe just one person. Bruial is one of those artists loved by the true dubstep heads even though he doesn't follow the true pattern (even though a lot of his is very two-step percussions). Another would be phaelah and inofaith who don't follow the same pattern but have the very downtempo bassline music.

TRUE dubstep follows 3/4 measure on 140 bpm, but there is so much leeway with this genre that so much of it doesn't follow the true rules. If anything the best thread for stuff like burial's music would be this, since its a bass oriented downtempo sound.

ps. the high octane brostep stuff isn't what most in the dubstep world consider to be good music, but that is what is the most popular side of the genre.

The rules of dubstep are starting to sound like the rules of poetry. This thread's starting to get really pretentious.
