DUBSTEP LOVE! (RUSKO, CASPA, ZED'S DEAD....)

As I'm sitting here trying to spruce up this site, I can't stop listening to the dark dubstep sounds of Rusko and Zed. It kind of reminds me of some tunes in the old Sega games.. but maybe it's just me. People always ask me what is dubstep? My best answer is a mix of a hip hop beat, produced like electronica and mixed with some overpowering dark, epic synth basses. Then again, I decided to look it up so you can have the real definition...
Wiki says... 
"Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that has its roots in London's early 2000s UK garage scene. Musically, dubstep is distinguished by its 2-step rhythm, or use of snare sounds similar to 2-step garage and grime, and an emphasis on bass, often producing "dark" sounds. Dubstep tracks are generally produced at a tempo of around 140 beats per minute and in recent years have developed signature half time rhythms, often heavily shuffled or syncopated, and usually, though not exclusively, including only one snare drum hit per bar, often on the third beat. Such factors make dubstep rhythms markedly different from four-to-the-floor rhythms used in other styles of electronic dance music such as house music, which usually have two snare hits accompanying the second and fourth kick drum. Often, the sense of rhythm in dubstep is propelled more by the bassline than by the percussive content." (aka music for robots!)
