12th Planet & Juakali – Reasons (Doctor P Remix) (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Here’s “Reasons,” a reggae-dubstep track where reggae musician Juakali teams up with DJ/producer 12th Planet’s hard-hitting production.

Unlike reggaeton, this is a reggae number wrapped in the aggressive musicality and ideas unique to dubstep.

Although it came out in 2010, it still feels full of surprises today.

The synergy between the forward-leaning beat and reggae, and this unexpected pairing—why not experience it for yourself at least once?

Excision & Space Laces – 1 On 1 (Official Audio)

Here’s a track by Excision, a DJ/producer from Canada, whose astonishingly rich sound character really stands out.

The high-leaning synths are highly distinctive, and the meticulous attention to detail—from the kick sound to every playful flourish—is truly impressive.

It’s a wildly trippy tune that makes you want to dance like crazy in the space between the lows and highs.

Burial – Near Dark

Here is “Near Dark” by the British dubstep musician Burial, a track that makes diverse use of the human voice.

It features a heavily filtered, muffled kick, clattering sounds like hi-hats, and a hard-to-pin-down sub-bass riding the beat.

It’s a stunning dubstep number that even evokes a touch of horror.

If you listen with an ear for the contrast between low and high sounds—like the clink of falling metal—you may find it an especially fascinating track.

Rage ValleyKnife Party

Knife Party – ‘Rage Valley’

When you think of dubstep, the image of taking the BPM in half-time is strong, but this track is a rare type that centers on a four-on-the-floor house beat.

Even in the drop, a dance beat is used, making it a fresh listen even for those accustomed to typical dubstep.

The steady, precise rhythm also makes it perfect as background music for getting work done.

Flying Lotus – Glendale Galleria

Flying Lotus is known as a hip-hop DJ and producer.

He seems to be heavily influenced by jazz and Brazilian music, and his musicality has a unique brilliance.

The track “Glendale Galleria” is also captivating for its distinctive sense of weightlessness and its busy, intricate beats.

The straightforward, classical kick sound, the beautifully placed snares and claps, and the layers of synthesizers that envelop them all come together like an orchestra in this beautiful piece.

KotoCloZee

CloZee – Koto

“Koto” is a masterpiece of Japanese-style dubstep that mixes in the familiar melodies of the koto.

It’s a track I’d love for people in Japan to listen to at least once.

If you take the time to really listen, even beat-driven tracks with a Japanese flavor have elegance and are enjoyable.
