edIT - Ants

from album Crying over pros for no reason.
Before he was edIT, indie hip-hop artist Edward Ma began his career in the late '90s as the Con Artist. During his stint as the resident DJ at Konkrete Jungle Los Angeles, Ma worked with Hive, Daddy Kev, James Tai, Busdriver, P.E.A.C.E., and Mikah 9; he also hosted a regular program on Dublab Radio. When not performing, Ma acted as producer and engineer for other musicians such as Sole, the aforementioned Busdriver, Aloe Blacc, Emanon, and Dr. OOP under the Con Artist moniker. The name was retired in 2003 and replaced with edIT while Ma was completing his first solo album.

In 2004, Crying Over Pros for No Reason was released on the Planet-Mu label. Rather than rest on his laurels, Ma continued to explore his craft, creating remixes and mashups that gained him further recognition in the world of electronic music. Fans and fellow DJs weren't the only ones to take notice -- in 2006, Urb magazine named Ma one of their "Next 100" artists to watch. Certified Air Raid Material, the follow-up to Crying Over Pros for No Reason, was released in the autumn of 2007. Outside of his work as edIT, Ma has created ad music and jingles for Face the Music. These compositions have appeared in commercials for Scion, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and Calvin Klein, among others.

@SniRaHD Your terms are branching terms of the original form. This album came out well before the term dubstep was conceived. This is just proper idm/hiphop. There are tons of lesser known artist that make this from the late 90's to ealry 00's. Funkstorung, Funckarma, Telefon Tel Aviv, Deru, MachineDrum, EOG, etc. It's always been there but very underground. Dubstep is pop music masquerading as fringe underground music. Its a sign of the times.

Dubstep has playful and light musical intros, with a steep drop and bass WOMPWOMWOMWOMWOM. Tempo is generally *around* 140bpm (not sure where you got "btps" from...the rest of the world says bpm) but it doesnt have to be exactly that speed to be classified as dubstep.

This song doesn't have any of that. At all. This isn't dubstep. At all. You need to reclassify your definition.

@ophello This music is 140 btps and so is dubstep. according to that, this is dubstep. But the melody is different than other dubstep numbers so people like to refer to this as Glitch. Now STFU please.

You fail for not understanding the definition of Dubstep.

dubstep has been around since 2001 and this is definitly one of the artist in the electronic music scene who helped shape the style as we know it now
