Dubstep, being the most recently invented genre of electronic music, is really starting to gain traction.  In fact I had a gig the night before Thanksgiving at Rock Isand Live, a place that usually wants to hear all the usual top 40 club music, but when I started playing dubstep, the shit went OFF.  It was kind of amazing.

Here’s a couple tracks for you, along with their dubstep remixes.  It’s nice to listen to the original first – that will help you appreciate the aspects of the remix that make it good.

First, here is Phoenix with 1901.  You might recognize it from this Cadillac commercial.
