    Deadmau5 is freaking AMAZING. I'm kinda sad to see Skirillex in there but if you dig it, who am I to judge?

    I'd checkotu Armin Van Buren, Tiesto (I think Tiesto is too hyped up but he's still good), Benny Benassi, ATB (This is an awesome group), Medina (checkout "You & I - Dash Berlin remix), Moony (kinda oldie but goldie), Ohmna (Key of Life), Tritional, and last but not the least, OceanLab (Another amazing group)

    Ohhh! How could I have forgotten Tiesto?! Thanks for the tips - adding now. :3

    About Skrillex...not everything he does is gold, but yes, I like a few things here and there. If anything, his influence boosts the array of music my station plays!

    Okay, my 1st thought was WTH is dubstep. Then I asked my husband sitting next to me. He says, "It's just a bunch of electronic noises." So then I type into Google "dubstep" the 1st thing that pops up is PUMPED UP KICKS|DUBSTEP, which is an awesome song, now ruined. Then the next link is an online radio station in which I can listen, so I listen and the song that plays is very annoying and I now have a headache. The song playing is called Bass Head by Bassnectar. It really is just sounds mixed together and someone saying bass head occasionally.

    I would have probably just called this electronica music. Not feeling it all. Then again, I'm into rock music, whether its alt/punk, or metal/horror, its all good. Now closing the dubstep radio, because my headache is getting worse lol

    P.S. to anyone who likes dubstep, listen away, I'm not hating on you. My younger brother (19) is a fan of Skrillex, and this type of music. It's just not for me, so you'll can keep it. lol

    Borgore (Ice cream and decisions, worth a listen and a laugh)
    Avicii (almost anything)
    Baauer (even after mainstream destroys the harlem shake)
    Afrojack (one of my personal favorites, all his stuff is golden)
    Alesso (Clash - Original mix)
    Pryda (check out Allein)
    Cazzette (check out Beam me up, kill mode, radio edit)
    Sidney Samson (w/ G wise - Go)
    Laidback Luke (turbulence Ft lil jon)
    1up (thundergun - )Original mix)
    Armin Van Buuren (Reload)
    Steve Aoki (alot of good ones from him)


    Check these artists/songs out. they will def be more of a house/mellow genre compared to dubstep but won't disappoint your ears one bit :)

    Dubstep, unlike the popular belief, can be more than just "WUB WUB WUB WOAN WOAN WUB WUB WUB". Skrillex doesn't think so.

    I don't hate him, I actually like Cinema, Equinox, Sprites and Monsters...then all his other stuff starts to get repetetive.

    I :heart: this thread tho. Love all of these peeps you guys listed. Just wanted to add Martin Solveig, The Cataracts, and Bassnectar.

    I love dubstep.

    Anything that makes me think of futuristic cyborgs makes me happy.

    I used to hate it, but I'm slowly coming around and starting to enjoy it. It's kind of become like country for me. There are some songs that come along that I really appreciate and will listen too, but its not my main genre for music or anything.

    I am loving some Lindsey Stirling playing violin with dubstep in the background.

    I don't like it. It's too much like jazz and has no melody or continuity (just my opinion). My boyfriend keeps trying to sway me into liking it. It's not happening. I prefer trip hop and electronica stuff like Massive Attack, Nightmares on Wax, RJD2, Thievery Corporation, etc.

    Can I just clear up the fact that in no way is Dubstep like jazz. That's all.

    A-frikkin-men. I about spit out my tea when I read that.

    I am not the original poster of this statement, but I *think* that what they meant was "I don't like it. It's too much like jazz [IN THAT IT] has no melody or continuity (just my opinion)."

    I don't think they meant that it *sounded* like Jazz at all, just that the structure (seemingly lack of melody or continuity) was similar to them.

    Then again, maybe I'm wrong. And I'm sure that someone will comment about how freestyle Jazz does indeed have structure and continuity and will go on a passionate rant about it. :smile:

    ETA: Apparently a Jazz fan already has posted. Sorry I didn't see it before.

    I'm third-ing this. I appreciate both but jazz musicians are extremely talented whereas anyone and everyone can make dubstep, I have loads of friends who do and can't play a single instrument. There's no doubt there's a certain amount of talent involved but nowhere near the skill and musicianship of jazz musician and the music they make.

    Playing an instrument doesn't make you a musician. Musicians don't necessarily have to play instruments.

    You don't have to be good to play jazz, either.

    One does not require more skill or musicianship than the other.

    Anybody with a pencil and paper can make art. Anyone with at least one finger can sit at a piano and play jazz. Or dubstep.

    Just because someone does not appreciate (or recognize) the skill that goes into making electronic music doesn't mean that they are not musicians.

    helps me fall to sleep at night

    Hahahahaha!

    I like Dubstep especially Skrillex, he's just the best in my opinion but I had to stop listening to it because it kept playing in my head afterwards and It was starting to drive me nuts. I still listen to it sometimes, nothing sounds better turned up real friggin loud than "Cat Rats" or "Bangarang!".

    Very true and their are some great Dubstep artists out there that create some beautiful music, it's not as easy as one might think just because you can do it on a computer. Try it Mr. " anyone and everyone can make dubstep," and lets hear what your crap sounds like.

    yeah exactly. it's higher-level, post-hands stuff

    & not to be a jerk, but jazz tends to attract more disciples than it does innovators afaic

    I absolutely love UKF's August dubstep mix. Deadmau5 is good as well as Skrillex. What I don't like is how alot of artists try to put dubstep in their music when it just doesn't go well. Alot of songs are messed up because they had to squeeze some dubstep in there. It's not for everyone.
