DOWNLINK?
Big fan of Burial...I'm deifnitely going to check out some more of these artists. Nice hub
where the hell is datsik?
Joker, BareNoize, Skrillex, Sukh Knight, Mt.Eden, Vaski, -N- yea Excision & Datsik. but I really think the list could go on & on & on ya know
always tried to classify bassnectar. unsure if i agree.
Skirllex is killing it at the moment, defo a fan of Flux P, J.Rabbit, Joker, Javan Dee, Borgore, Mala, Coki, The list could go on, big up to all producers.
Flux Pavillion, Skrein, and Datsik all need to be added.
i disagree wit this list! there r much better artist then most of wats up there!
Def Nero and Basshunter
I don't mean to be the dude who emphasizes the lack of Bassnectar on that list but seriously? Plus Skream is like ambient trash techno that you would hear on hold or in an elevator.
Come on, only one person mentioned downlink. He is definitely up there with the others. Yeah and WTF to Skream?
Skrillex is the sikkest!!
True, the face of Dubstep is constantly changing with more and more brilliant artists being discovered every day.
Sure I think Datsik, Reso, Discotheque, Skrillex... can and should be on the list. However, I could have gone on and on...
Keep the names coming. I think its great because it will open our ears and keep us informed!
SKRILLEX SHOULD BE ON THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HE IS THE GOD OF DUBSTEP
1st off
Rusko hasnt made a good track in god knows how long.
Skream is OK
BURIAL IS FUCKING EXCELLENCE
And Reso is god tier
skrillex is ok, i like him, but i can practically hear the loops he throws on every track.
but the tops are seriously this
16bit
Burial
Reso
Bar9
Bassnectar
also, basshunter is not even dubstep.
Also, that Skeam album is called Skream! you forgot the ! and the track is midnight request line, you forgot the midnight.
skrillex, tek-one, rusco, excision, datsik. < 3
dubstep is sick listen to datsik and tek-one
there are so many amazing dubstep artists, i dont really think there can be a #1. many artists have many popular songs, it's hard to choose whose at the top
skrillex
What about Appleblim and Peverelist? Bristol's finest.
does no one like Caspa or Dub Rex?
Really the true person is 6Blocc
You people aren't understanding this list. This list is this persons interpretation of the best dub artists out, not who is the newest or most popular, you people need to be a little more open minded and soak up the appreciation for the music this guy is trying to show. If you disagree with his list go to a forum and make your own damn list. Stop complaining, appreciate. I personally agree this list is missing some greats, but is still a bangin list of artists.
There is no "best" artist.
But if there was to be the most "creative" artist it would be Borgore.
He's just brilliant.
yoooooo its all about bassline smith and drumsound
Boregore is F'n horrible. The noise my poop makes when it hits the toilet water sounds better than his music -_-
Where is the Liquid Stranger on here? Skrillex has had some awesome stuff recently. (but it helps when you've got the backing of Deadmau5) J. Rabbit, Joker, Riskotheque, Doctor P, the list goes on...
Skrillex is best dubstep artist ever
16bit.. skrillex.. Bassnectar.. Excision.. Calyx.. the list goes on..
thanks to everyone who posted, I looked everyone up I didn't know of and, found a lot of good music! calyx/b-complex/netsky does anyone know of any other artists in the same style (drum n bass ? I know its not really dubstep but they are awesome! and if you could name a few of your absolute favorite dubstep songs :) I'd really appreciate it!!! thanks
yo i gotta say for ME (notice the emphasis on me lol) i love borgore just honestly because he doesnt give a fuck. excision and datsik will always be sick,i like downlink, shekel should be up there though in my opinion, idk i like the pure filth that shekel puts out, the kind that makes you want to slaughter a random family with a rusty wood saw and paint a picture with the blood splatter ;) dubba jonny has a few good tracks, you should check out his ukf tutorial on dubstep and then the vip, but my favorite version is A Brief Tutorial On Vip Production (Vip) its pretty sick, j. rabbit deffineatly has a lot of good mixes. crazy talk is definitely one of my favorites by j. rabbit. flux pavilion has pretty good tracks as well, and diesel is pretty sick, defineatly ove burial, joker is the shit, bassnectar is great too, and i could go on and on like some others have said but heres a list of my favorite (leaving out a lot) songs/mixes (not in order)
excision- shambhala 2010
reploid- downlink
swagga- excision (just a classic)
southpaw- datsik
this is not our planet- shekel
smokin blunts makin cream- shekel
you cant spell slaughter without laughter- shekel
slaughter (vip)- shekel (i like shekel so wat dgaf)
(way too many)- borgore (i like just about everything from borgore so yeah)
all in- dubba jonny
A Brief Tutorial On Vip Production (Vip)- dubba jonny
crazy talk- j.rabbit
too much sexy- j.rabbit
somewhere around barstow- j.rabbit- dnb/dubstep (one of my all time favs)
i cant stop-flux pavilion
man this list would be soo long if i said them all it would go on for days aha, but i hope u get something from that and that i didnt just waste your time reading this
sorry if i kinda went off on an idk wat to call it but there ya go :)
*love

Respect to the dubstep innovators, those who created the genre and continue to innovate. I'm hating all this commercial shit these days. Real dubstep lovers don't listen to trash like borgore, I can handle filth alright, just not tracks that barely constitute music. All these new artists try to better each other by creating the 'flithiest', most screwed up tracks. True dubheads listen to quality dubstep, the sort of dubstep that built from devotion to the genre, not just jumping on the filth bandwagon. Listen to the above artists if you want to hear real, quality dubstep.
BAR 9!! also druley and chasing shadows. the list cant go on too long cause half the dubstep artists are afraid to get FILTHY
@ wig - well i must say that i like borgore. i understand why you wouldnt though, as i used to not like him at all, i thought the same of him as you do but what i like about him is that he has his own style, and he sticks to it and he can make really good just straight dubstep too. i think overall that we have different tastes in dubstep, i do like the filthy shit but i can also usually tell when people just try too hard to make it filthy, and it usually sounds stupid. and borgore, if you really listen to the dubstep aspect of his music he can fuck shit up without even trying. however i really dislike rusko i dont know he just has too many different sounds.
but i respect your opinion and realize that when it comes to what you like you are never wrong. im just putting in my 2 cents :)
and dont forget MIMOSA he is a up and comer great music though
So I saw Borgore live and from that night on if he isn't on any great dubstep list the list is automatically BS. Also, Bass Head by Bassnectar one of the best songs ever
BASSNECTARD IS NOT A DUBSTEP DJ! Ok, i do like bassnectar a little but Lorin himself says all the time he is not a dubstep dj. I dont claim to know alot about the subject but i know that. Do some research. Bitches!
where's CARDOPUSHER
whats with the ephasis on commercial dubstep here? hellfire machina maybe, or the others.
but to go on this list, definatly:
Skrillex, The Widdler, Datsik, DZ
listen n weep bitches this is >THE< tune.
My TOP 10!
1 - Rusko
2 - Caspa
3 - Benga
4 - 16 BIT
5 - BAR9
6 - Doctor P
7 - Datsik
8 - Downlink
9 - Chrispy
10 - Flux Pavilion
yall want to hear some real dumbstep or house? yo check out DJ PLUR hes not big but hes one of the best i know!
How about Slugabed, Nitgrit, Modestep, Starkey, cookie monsta'..? Hmm.??
A few of you know what's up, props to you because of it... This list is bogus, anyone who makes a "top dubstep artist list" without Bassnectar in or at the top of the list, doesn't know crap about dubstep... If it wasn't for him - none of these other artist would be jack. He's the godfather. Seriously... and then to put Skream on the list is ridiculous. they are NOT dubstep (may have a few dubstep like songs, but really, now...)
eoto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SKRILLEX SHOULD BE HERE!~
If you know about the roots of Dubstep and the artists who have
Formed the genre then what fault can be found with his list.
Sorry, but Bassnectar does not have a place on the list if
Seen in this light. Skream was there from the beginning. Burial is
an amazing and innovative producer. Plastician in my opinion should
be on this list. Do your research. True original Dubstep is just that-
dub-step. Innovation is great but that's why they don't even call Rusko
Dubstep anymore....because it's not. As it moves into the mainstream
It will become something that most of today's 'whatever is popular'
Kids will eat up, while the rest of the true lovers of Dubstep will keep
bumpin sounds like the DMZ. Peace.
1. Cookie Monsta
2. Skrillex
3. Chrispy
4. Skream
5. Rusko
6. Bassnectar
7. Caspa
8. Downlink
9. DMZ
10. Datsik
I'm with Steve, where is Liquid Stranger? His new album is epic.
Love this page though, maybe the posters list is wrong (or his using the word "best" is wrong), but all the other artists people are listing helped me get some new artists I hadn't heard of (since I'm new to dubstep) like skrillex and downlink. This was my whole point in looking at this page in the first place.
I saw Chrispy mentioned a few times, if you haven't heard his predator EP mix, I recommend heading to youtube and checking it out.
This page was written awhile ago so some of the Dubstep artists may have come and gone. However, I'm loving ALL the new DUBSTEP ARTISTS that people are putting up.
KEEP THEM COMING!
the list is pretty good, im complaining about is these comments about bassnectar, its not dubstep, its a show, lorin stated its a project that he entitled bassnectar to be an entertainment dj, come on you guys, have you not noticed who exactly is showing up to his shows... these "bassheads" are a bunch of frat and sororities claiming their "love" for dubstep when in all actualityits not, sorry guys but its the truth, but to give lorin credit he puts on one hell of a show
Zeds Dead...
Jj , your are a f&@$ing idiot. What a dumbass. You know absolutely jack about Dubstep. Shut the he'll up. What a moron. Go write in the idiots forum and maybe they will buy your bullshit.
lol, u people obviously dont know alot about dubstep, uve missed out the best try these...
.Digital Mystikz
.Coki
.Loefah
.Mala
.RSD
.Darkstar
.Burial
.Africa hitech
.Rustie, Not dubstep but good, Hudson mohawke, ikonika,scuba,cotti,Randomer, Ginz...
Docter P, Skrillex, Nero and Flux Pavillion are LEGIT
your all tripin the best dubstep artist is zeds dead and why is isn't up here is beyond me.
jj u r an idiot if anything skream is on of the oldest dub step artist out there and everything they ever made as far as i know is dub step it's just sounds a little different because it's older like check out dubwarz by caspa it's dub step but quite similar
bar9
why choose btw the bests? combine them and make a ba track http://9220fl1iucbnkym3vyvj-02zec.hop.clickbank.ne
skrillex ranks high for me.... but see i listened to a lot of these artists listed as "top 10" and they all are sooooo tame, its just sad, i want music that blows my face off... not that makes me throw up
oh, and im sorry to the person who thinks bassnector is dubstep.... they are NOT... not that i am saying that they are not good, because they are excellent
SKRILLEZ !!!!!!!!!!!!
dr p. flux pavilion the widdler borgore tha list goes on.
Nero hands down
Where's Ajapai?
I am a DJ since the 80s doing hip hop and now just starting to listen to Dubstep. This stuff is tight as hell. I mixed a couple trax with some Hardstyle/Techno on my last CD and I am now hooked. I plan on playing around with this stuff, but the hardcore dubstep goes well with hardstyle. I have so much to learn about this. So far I like Datsik & Excision, Caspa & Rusko alot and a few other artist like Plasticman, etc. I really think it depends on what type of style you like. I like that hard outta space sounds.
Chrispy is tight too!!!
Don't forget about Cookie Monsta.... CRAZY!!!!
Top Ten For Me:
Digital Mystikz (Mala & Coki)
Loefah
Shackleton
Guido
Joker
RSD
Magnetic Man (Benga, Skream & Artwork)
The Widdler
Burial
Tek One
Top Ten Tracks For Me:
Guido - Korg Back
Burial - Archangel
Coki - Bass
6Blocc - Never Scared
Emalkay - When I Look At You
Finally - Kings Of Tomorrow (JOR-ONE/ELKAT Remix)
KUNG - White
Joker - Psychedelic Runway
Benga & Coki - Night
Kid Cudi - Day N Nite (The Widdler's Remix)
There are sooo many more essential tracks though than those ten. You can't narrow it down to ten really
Mt Eden is so underrated. His self titled album contains track after track of well composed dubstep melodies, bass and vocals.
Favs: - Bat for lashes (Dubstep perfection)
- Beautiful lies (soothing with an undercurrent of dub)
for all of you who are true dubstep fans you have to give props to skrillex for making some of the best drops we've heard in a while and he has two albums and has been out for less than a year so its a little early to be putting him up there as top 10 but is certinatly on his way there
Someone's forgetting Skrillex.
where is NERO!?!?! he is sikk! and i agree DatsiK should be in this too. and FluxPavillion.
3 BIG names right there!
There are several great Dubstep bands from France including High Tone and Brain Damage - heavy and experimental....
Skrillex!!
Skrillex is where it's @@@@@ fools.
Anyone heard of Emalkay? Bloody brilliant.
Borgore, Flux Pav, Pantyraid, Propa Tingz, etc........ c`mon yes yes some of those artists are ok, but if you like the grimiest of the grime get up on that harder shit
Also I agree, skream is lame sauce.Bassnectar, datsik, excision, etc.... fuck whoever made that top ten list is a punkass who's got no idea what's up and needs to get FIRED, or at least stroke out from being a dubtard
Sorry guys but Skrillex is soo bad, he doesn't have any sub bass in his tracks (it's all midrange bass that sounds like bass on your phones and laptop speakers) and it isn't always about the filth. Yea benga and skream can be a little overrated sometimes but magnetic man are sooo sick, and no one can deny that. Go back to the roots of dubstep people: deeper, darker, dubbier stuff. Thats the good shit, digital mystikz n stuff
I just love a song by Nero - Innocence
My favs are Datsik, Skrillex, Downlink, Excision, Bar 9, Reso, Diesel, Skism and Doctor P
My personal favorites are: zeds dead, mt eden, skrillex and joker
check out symbiz sound from germany. best song is who cares.
Doctor P is my favorite right now, but everything else you have on the list is sick.
But LOL @ all the Skrillex fanboys.
SKRILLEX SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST! WHAT SO EVER!
NEVER EVER!
SKRILLEX HAS LIKE what? 5 Dubstep songs?
His House and Dnb(yes he does do those stfu little kids)
are good but he is not good enough
Why are people naming Brostep/Fagstep artists?
This is Dubstep Artists.
Excision and Ajapai are the Two Exceptions but they arent on the list
Why the hell does everyone Forget the one and ONLY,
---> CASPA
OKAY NO WTF?!!?!!!
Bassnectar is good, but thats all dub-fakers ever talk about is damn bassnectar. the real shit is
Rusko
Datsik
Flux
Bar9
Chase and Status
Nero
MT EDEN!!???? MEDS!? CMON DAMN IT!
Doctor P ({hes aiight)
i mean cmon i could go on all day but dont call Bassnectar the ONLY known dub., like wtf?
I agree on a certain level but some should be replaced by Skrillex, Flux pavillion, Mt Eden (Maybe), Chase & Status, Modestep which i have not heard anybody say a word about and definatly Nero.
These artists for me, are the most know dubstep artists out there and for those saying skrillex shouldn't be put on the list because the amount of songs, Quality not Quantity.
Some well known and breath taking dubstep tracks:
Nero-promises (Skrillex remix)
Skrillex-Ruffneck
Flux pavilion-Bass cannon
Chase & status-Blind faith
And so on...
we need GoingQuantum!
Where the eff is J.Rabbit! Go listen , all his shit is top A class, Doctor is a legend as well.
Where the eff is J.Rabbit! Go listen , all his shit is top A class, Doctor is a legend as well.
blablabla...

ZEDS DEAD!?Doctor P!? Flux Pavilion!?Skrillex!?
NOISIA
I agree with JZG. Everyone here is naming all the brostep artist. Doctor P is shit. Half of Skrillex's stuff isn't even dubstep. Lol, and people saying Skream is shit, when him Benga, Mala & Coki where some of the first producers of it. But then again half of the people are probably 12 years olds that think dubstep is all abouthow filthy it is
i like datsik, skrillex, flux pavillion, bassnectar, and shekel
doctor p isnt all that good
Holy crap, ppl still post comments here... e.o
what ab BARE??
What??!?! Skrillex doesn't deserve to be mentioned here, his stuff is good but it's just not dubstep. It should be:
5 - Benga
4 - Coki
3 - Skream
2 - Pinch
1 - Loefah
In my opinion :)
BASSNECTAR?!?!??!?!?!?!?
flux pavilion hard
Hate to break it to u guys but skrillex aint dubstep.
1: SKRILLEX!!!!!!
2-10: irrelevant
wow i just found this board randomly and i'm surprised no one has mentioned Noisestrom(Eion O' Brion)
He's kinda small time i guess, but he's one of the best artist i know.
Guys it's the author's top 10. If you don't agree with it go make your top 10. Oh and Skrillex is shit.
PRALLAGUNZ is one of usa's best.. http://soundcloud.com/prallagunz
flux pavillion, datsik, and SKRILLEX?!
WHAT THE HELL!! wheres skrillex!! he is the best one atm.. u cant compare to his new album 'more monsters and nice sprites' he tops all of them.
now for borgore. hes ok but id have to say that he is not real dubstep he's a piece of shit rapping to techno.. no skillz what so ever..
now that u have heard me out im done..
BUT!!!
CALL 911 NOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Anyone claiming that Skrillex should be on this list is an idiot. He sucks.
Flux Pavillion is my fav
skrillex is the best dubstep dj i recone just wait till his new albam comes out and you will all agree with me
Burial isn't even dubstep, it's bland garage music. The improved list - Skrillex, FuntCase, Rusko, Excision, Downlink, Bassnectar, Trolley Snatcha, Distance, 16bit, Roksonix
King of bass all the way they just started dubstep scene back in 2010 ,had 22 albums been in the charts 5 times this year alone ..www.facebook.com/iamkingbass

There are so many styles in dub. How can you really come up with a top 10? I'm a big Caspa fan. I like his minimal hip-hop flavor, but that's me. Plastican is another.
skrillex aint dubstep
these are the artists that should be there in no particular order:
borgore
excision
datsik
skream
benga
vaski
sukh knight
bassnectar
skism
flux pavillion
doctor p
16 bit
downlink
noisia
thats all i can think of
SKRILLEX AND DEADMAU5 AND BORGORE AND DOCTOR P, ALSO BASSNECTAR
ARKASIA No1!!! Feed Me, Dumbsteppaz, Dodge & Fuski!!!
mimosa...
anytime people are talking about DUBSTEP I have to see some stupid kids talk about skrillex this skrillex that skrillex is god. maybe of BROSTEP but get real, you cant put skrillex in the same genere as benga, skream, and other true dubstep artists. listening to skrillex is like having someone scream in your face for about an hour and a half. if skrillex is your idea of "the god of dubstep" you really don't know anything about the genre and you are probly 16 years old.
hey snackms not one of the artists you have named is dubstep. good job kid.
Koan Sound, Funk Blaster, and Meanwhile, in the Future
people who say skrillex is the god of dubstep well your wrong he is SHIT i sometimes listen to him but he is shit he has no bass what so ever in his music about 5/6 of his songs arent even dubstep and people think they are so BIG for listening to him i mean im only 15 dubstep is older then me skream is at the top of my list caspa is awesome distance is a good artist bassnectar isnt dubstep but he is a good music producer dubba jonny is awesome But i hate all these new dubstep producers like SKRILLSHIT and people like that datsik is a good artist and so is excision and downlink doctor p is alright but is shitflux pav ilion is mean (good) but i hate it when people say skream is shit because his drops are small and skrillex is better because he has pussy little drops with no bass what so ever i mean little kids who listen to skrillex this is a message to yous all ,skream was one of the first dubstep artists he helped make the community bigger with caspa and distance and benga NOT SKRILLEX and to be honest skrillex is actually KILLING dubstep and also cookie monsta is another great dubstep artsis =D thats all ihave to say.
Cutline!!
Jphelpz is going to be the bomb...check him out on Youtube...Dubsstep God!!
1.Skrillex

4.Zomboy
5.Borgore

DOCTOR P!
who ever put this list together blows cause alot of those djs suck its all about skrillex, porter robinson, zedd zeds dead knife party an lots more rusko sucks so does buril he blows just saying hahahah
This is a very good list.
Burial should be up the top, no doubt.
Benga's great as well.
Got Skream and Rusko there, that's good.
But...
Distance. Where's he?
He's one of the only artists to ever capture what dubstep should be: dark, gritty yet somewhat soothing and ambient.
Knife party, flux, deadmau5, 501, zedd this are some good ones
This thread lost all credibility the second Skrillex appeared on it. Skrillex is NOT dubstep. Deadmau5? Really?!?! And Bassnectar? Yes, he's pumped out some sick tracks, yes he's a dope producer, but he's got his hands in everything. Open your fucking ears! When people are listing Skrillex, Bassnectar and Deadmau5 as top dubstep artists, that just tells me they're clueless teenagers who were at last years Lollapalooza or Coachella.
Loving all the Bassnectar and Skrillex fanboys hahahaha, pleasantly surprised to see Borgore being mentioned a lot even if he isn't necessarily the best artist. Still a massive fan though!
Flux Pavilion has more veiws on one video than most of this combined why is he not on here.
MT EDEN !!!!!!!!
how can you people say skream should not be on list he was there from the start and plus he was voted best dubstep dj and the dubstep awards
n weres doctor p he is pretty damn good datsik,skrillex,at dawn we rage,excision, and flux pavilion there raw as well

Nero - Welcome Reality
and Excision & Poter Robinson for some
why do people keep on saying Skrillex? he isn't only dub-step that's why he isn't on the list -_- he does electro house, fidget house and brostep..... come on people
a.k.a he isn't dubstep which is what this list is about he does a branch of dubstep and does branches of house
Just thinking to myself reading. That if people didn't leave such posts and comments as dauntlessdnb did then we wouldn't have had everyone throw their favorites up. Me personally when I read this skipped his post, and read the comments to find out the most agreed upon artists. Appreciate all the good bands thrown out there. Personal favorite is Cookie Monsta, and really diggin his song Optimus Prime.
Skrillex is a joke.. people need to expand there mind a little bit further than the ukf youtube channel.
Some one put Bass Cannon by FP and Rough Neck by S as there best dubstep songs. i like them personally but after the 3rd time of listening to them they begin to grate,
Try
Kryptic Minds Talisman
Tunnidge Dark Skies
Coki IT
Coki Carbon Aliens
Dj Shadow Organ Donor (Proximas - Dub Donor Remix)
16 bit President of Europe
skrillex, datsik, flux p, and bassnectar all needed to be added (and mt eden 2)
All I hear is Skrillex, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, Cookie Monsta, and many other crappy brostep artists that have completely mindwashed people into thinking that they are dubstep. The author of this article has the right idea, and how can you hate their picks, the ones who have CREATED the genre?
By the way, my reccomendation for the list would be Distance.
I'm amazed as to how many people rate Skrillex so highly, I personally do enjoy some of his music but I wouldn't put him on the list. Deadmau5, whoever said him, is not dubstep whatsoever. I think Adventure club (although they do some chillstep aswell) should be up there and Arion, Gemini, Nero and Jakwob. I do agree with most on the list though :)
Some people say he doesnt count but skrillex and cookie monsta and deadmau5 daftpunk
Glebstar
Skrillex is pretty sick too...
I love those people who go off on a rant about how much Skrillex sucks. They then forget to mention who they consider is good dubstep, followed by saying how old they believe Skrillex fans are, conveniently forgetting to mention their own age. Prob the most funny thing is the fact that they think they know shit about dubstep in the first place. Oh and while I'm at it def put Magnetic Man and Zeds Dead on the list.
Check out martyparty.... He's killin it right now!
MODESTEP!!!!
Drug Gateway Theory
Sorry, but skrillex is not DuB-Step I'm not saying he sux but I don't like when ppl say his dub-step! So try to keep it that way-.-
And I just needed to say that BorGore is the shit!! And I started to listen to this other guy name obsidia and I just started to like hem =^_^=
I agree with absynth!!! Most of the people that don't like skrillex are in their 40s and don't know anything about dubstep.. Keep listening to your crappy ABBA and stop giving your opinions on modern music which you don't know anything about. And btw I think your all forgetting BLACKBURNER!!!!!!!!
Imma Say SKRILLEX IS #1 DUB-STEP!
Keep saying that to yourself but we all know that skrillex music is not dub step in the first place but if that makes you feel better just keep posting comments but is not going to change anything. :D
Skrillex is overrated where's Deadmau5?
Umm... I think skrillex is ok. Dont know why ppl r like all over him. He good, but not great. But I like his remixes though. Oh...if you like dubstep listen to asking alexsandria's stepped up and scratched album. Its awsome. I dont have a fav, cause im sort of new to dubstep...............

Get it into your thick heads, Skrillex is NOT dubstep.
Best New sound in Dubstep is french Producer Amdukias.Some reggae influence and crazy stuffs...
ZEDS DEAD!!!!!whats up with all yhe skrillex dick riding?skrillex is too choppy, all over the place.it has no flow no rythym.its just quick cuts.zeds dead is often forgotten but they are no doubt head n shoulders above ANY other producer.besides skrillex has double AIDS.

HOW HAS NOBODY EVEN HEARD OF TOMBA!!!!!!?????????? yes, I've read through most of these and there are a lot of good suggestions, but look up Tomba. he will blow your mind and actually uses more than just blurp! sounds (borgore & shekel *ahem* ). these are my favorite dubtep/electronic/ dance (because of mainstream "dubstep" artists like skrillex & bassnectar the genres are blurring) songs:
choke on coke - tomba
choke on coke VIP - tomba
RAW - tomba
a brief tutorial on VIP production- dubba jonny
Mumbai (kanedubstep remix) - divkid
dirty disko - zomboy
pump it up - zomboy
kinder surprise - borgore
five point palm exploding heart technique (tomba remix) - devnik

hebrew hammer VIP - tomba (Srry like half this list is tomba lol)
Africa VIP - Caspa & rusko
E.T. (KATFYR remix) - Katy Perry
Release The Swarm - Bratkilla

these will either blow your mind (choke on coke or release the swarm) or make you want to dance (mumbai or pump it up).
ENJOY
dmz leofah kode 9 n burial ftw. i cant actually believe there are people saying that skrillex is the god of dubstep.............
I see all these artists and yes i agree most are brilliant i love them but i am always dissapointed because i have never seen Kraddy mentioned. His song "Android Porn" is by far my all time favorite song. It has the best beats ever, best bass ever and some supa sick drops
for people that say that skrillex is not real dubstep and skream is currently under his label OWSLA
Skrillex *IS* dubstep but not all his songs are.He says in a A LOT of interviews that he makes electronic,dance, and dubstep (Not just dub). But he SHOULD be on the list for when i'm posting this because that list is old and he blew up big this past year. Other than that:
-12th Planet
-Doctor P
-Rusko
-Knife Party
-Flux P
-Skream
-Datsik
-Bassnectar
-A Trak
-Nero
-Feed Me
-Zeds Dead
-Bare Noize
(Not all are bubstep just naming what I listen to)
^ DUBSTEP*
sukh knight , skream , datsik , 16 bit - monsters !!!
Fuck everyone who thinks skrillex is like soooooo awesome. He good, but he ain't great. listen to ASKING ALEXANDRIA'S STEPPED UP AND SCRATCHED album. BOREGORE! BASSNECTOR! NERO! FLUX PAVILION! and CHASE AND STATUS....I have more but that's all I can think of.
._. people can have their own opinions...
You guys gotta peep out this sick producer i heard online by the name of "MostArt The QuakeMaker". I think he is going to blow up soon in the DubStep Scene. Peep em out!
The Distance, Tes La Rok, Vex'd, Phaeleh, Kryptic Minds!
im a big fan of anybody doing anything different.dub is starting to get stuck in this transformers synth quick cut box and its making the same mistake dnb made by saying if ur not doing it this way its not right.that just makes everyone sound the same.my favorite is zeds dead but i like ginz,mt eden,benga and joker too.
HOLD ON?! Are you guys all American or 16? Anyone putting half the people you guys are talking about on their list has no real clue about dubstep. also Skream is shit now but back in the days 'dutchflowers' 'midnight request line' and 'monsoon' were running tings...non of this shit wobbly b-lines that's being churned out by "so called" dubstep artists. Dubstep has now been commercialised and watered down like most underground music...SAD TIMES!
DMZ, LOEFAH, code 9, burial , breakage, kryptic minds All the way. People influenced by the true origins of DUB.
Flux pavilion
skrillex
knife party
UKF
bassnecter
rusko
12th planet

Hey! IM 40! I love Skrillex. Flux pavillion and most others. I don't give a rats a$$ what the genre is. IF it sounds good loud then I love it. So don't go knocking the elders!
Dubsteps being killed with these cheesey artists, Boregore, SKRILLEX bla bla, they suck balls, its teenagers and americans commercialising the genre. Benga, skream, coki, hatcha, search and destroy, DMZ, true underground pioneers.
Really, Skrillex? Man these little 12 year olds are gay. you all say Skream is shit when guys like him started dubstep. Top ten (no order)
Skream, Benga, Caspa, Kryptic Minds, Distance, Pinch, Hatcha, Plastician, Coki and Breakage.
Really people, Chase and Status, Noisia for starters they are more DnB and UKF thats not an artist.
Once again, if you want a track: Kryptic Minds Badman VIP.
And really, you have to be 40 to know original dubstep. Bro I'm 16 and have known Skrillex and disliked his music before all you fan boys knew who he was. Man its sad...
skrillex and Deadmau5...and a few others =D

Dubstep is changing fast, and that's all good, I just don't really like it. I prefer the older, laxed out tunes. I don't start getting angry on YouTube about it :) Who cares if you have been listening to dub longer then the next guy, it doesn't mean shit. Anyone is allowed to listen to it, and like whoever they want! I'll stick with my old beats, and let these young ones spin Skrillex all they want. Peace.
What's the deal with all the Burial, I just listened to his albums and it sounds more ambient than anything else (well, something downtempo at least). Reminds me of older stuff like Aphex Twin, Leftfield, Massive Attack, Sly & Robbie and the like.
But almost nothing in common with Datsik, Excision, Feed Me, J.Rabbit, Kill The Noise, Knife Party, Xilent, Zeds Dead, more what I'm into. Maybe all that is Brostep, but then I say Burial is Borestep. It's too bad because Brostep has such a negative connotation, but today's dubstep is way different than anything Skream would call dubstep. Maybe it needs a new name.
I guess the poster above me just said something similar.
@iDre Well since your talking about what it should be called, Skream openly says the Uk side of it should be called UK Bass and thats all he calls it.
Most influencial dubstep artists
1. datsik
2. Amdukias
3. Benga
4. Glebstar
5. skrillex
6. Nero
7. Joker
...
any one who used the word "dub" in their comment is officially a 5-star idiot. If your going to show a good dubstep artist, being ignorant enough in the genre to use the word dub completly overrules you.
Dub is an offshoot of reggae and sounds nothing like skrillex.
most famous dub artist would be King Tubby look him up and stop using that word out of context
feed me
addergebroed
zomboy
Amdukias is my favorite dubstep with reegae vibe
