Hey guys, Hamburglar here. This is basically a thread to help out the people wondering about the different types and sub-genre's of the growing genre dubstep. I hope this can be read and can help out both veteran listeners and the newcomers to dubstep.
Now let's get to the Dubstep!
Normal Filthy Dubstep
This Is the type of dubstep that most people know. It features the grimey basslines, heavy drums, and often times, interesting samples.
Deep dubstep is different. It's a lot more minimal. It usually features the normal simple dubstep drum pattern but a smooth and gut wrenching bassline. Instead of the crunchy bass you normally hear in dubstep. Think of it this way. Compare Electro house with Deep/Minimal house.
Some people would consider this straight up hip-hop to the untrained ear. Dubhob is a fusion of Dubstep and Hiphop. It usually has hiphop-like samples but dubstep elements added like drums, bass, or little ambient tweaks that make it dubstep.
Tribal Dubstep has ethic and/or tribal soudns added to it to give it a different feel. It can have the same grimey sound but extra tribal instruments such as bongos or tambourines.
This technically isn't considered dubstep but I thought I should throw this in there. Dub is a genre (Or sub-genre to some) that features reggae/rasta vibes liek a reggae bassline, ambience, and overall chillness. It is a lot more mellow than dubstep but still has that "Dubstep feel". Some types of dubstep have Dub additives.
