The Top 20 Dubstep Tracks For 2010

For FREE DOWNLOADS and an in depth review of each song, check out my blog post on the top 20 dubstep for 2010.

http://sweetlittlebleeps.com/2011/01/20/top-20-dubstep-2010/

The year of 2010 was quite big for dubstep, which exploded onto the scene like nothing else. Reminiscent of the rise of electro, dubstep is this years #1 underground music genre, and it has proved itself to be quite elastic and worthy of praise.

This list is something that I started doing in January, 2010, and have continued until now.

Here is the criterion by which I have decided this years (and every years) best.

1. What does it bring to the genre as a whole? Does it utilize sounds that we've never heard before? How innovative is the song, does it spawn copy cats, or is it copying something already? (Admittedly, everything is copying everything else in electronic music, but there are new ideas that effectively get pushed and I'm looking for those).

2. Dancehall playability. How well does it stand up on a big system, and does it make people want to dance?

3. Bedroom playability. Is this a song that you would play in your house at a lower volume, and is it good for listening casually? Admittedly, dubstep is meant to be played loud with proper sub woofers to cover the low end, and not every dubstep artist sells out to the masses. Some of them are uncompromising in their production to the point where if you don't have proper listening equipment, you will not be getting more than 10-20% of the effect of the song. No Joke. But I still feel this should be weighed when measuring the overall worth of a song.

Note: I weigh bedroom playability higher in the dubstep list than I do in the electro list.

If you think I missed something please let me know by commenting below. It's becoming harder and harder to stay up on everything with all the new talent that is constantly surfacing. However, I recommend you comment on this list only after you listen to this video with proper bass.

[donaldrev]

@DeathMerchant13 What would you rather hear?

[drcobb40]

Listen to Crazy Talk by JRabbit

[donaldrev]

@drcobb40 I have already, and it doesn't belong on this list, sorry.

[FVdingshling]

this list would honestly be better backwards

[donaldrev]

@FVdingshling You know not what you say.

[donaldrev]

@ScrachnBallz Nothing against Skrillex, but he doesn't really make real dubstep. It's something else entirely I'd say. Very well produced, but not dubstep, and not deserving of being on this list. Thanks.

[Falc1NL]

@ScrachnBallz same as the people below me skrillex isnt really dubstep.. its more commercial top 40 music

[iamthereddemon20]
