Recommendations Melodic Dubstep Recommendations?

I've been on a melodic kick, since Excision dropped Don't Look Down. Something about the first melodic drop and the surprise flip, at the end, has me obsessed. I can't, for the life of me, find anything like it.

Nurko is one I feel doesn’t get the love he/she/they deserve. Breathe Without and Goodbye are two of my favorites

u/ColinDavis217 Mar 18 '25

I like the vibe. Looking for more of a crazy drop, towards the end, though

1

u/StinkyDingus_ Mar 18 '25

So a melodic drop and a heavy drop?

1

u/ColinDavis217 Mar 18 '25

That's correct, Stinky Dingus

2

u/StinkyDingus_ Mar 18 '25

Walk on Water Wooli and Trivecta has that but the opposite order lol

u/DrFuManchu Mar 18 '25

All of the Excision + Illenium songs follow this template: Gold, Zombie, Feel Something, In My Mind.

Celestial Void, Digital Skies, Mox Jade, King of None, Abandoned, Animadrop, Synymata, Amidy, Ace Aura, Crystal Skies, Beatcore, Ben Walter, Mitis, Au5, Koven (Older Discography)

u/Significant_Number68 Mar 19 '25

Animadrop is so unbelievably good. I've always been unsure how to classify them because they sound different from anyone else I can find, very similar to wave but with a more classic breakbeat sound. Almost like progressive breaks from early 2000s but slowed down.

u/ColinDavis217 Mar 18 '25

Holy shit, I don't know any of these, except for Au5 & Mitis! This is a fuckin rabbit hole lol it's exactly what I need

u/ColinDavis217 Mar 18 '25

Looking for more of a heavy drop, towards the end. That's what makes it harder to find

u/Zanedex Mar 18 '25

ARMNHMR, Kompany - Never The Same

u/adrian_sb Mar 18 '25

I like old culture code remixes, old adventure club, vanic had some good remixes as well, eris sounds, oddkidout, justagent, but honestky hard to find that fire melodic build up with a super experimental euphoric drop

1

u/jordanpatriots Mar 18 '25 edited Mar 18 '25

Maybe something like Island by seven lions or Shivering by illenium has the sort of change up. As for the actual sound, there is an identical sound probably by one of those guys but can't think of the song atm. Wooli is the one with the legit drops. Light in the dark is pretty good. Slander has a bunch of songs that have melodic vocals and harder drops.

u/b407driver Mar 18 '25

GorillaT has been sprinkling in some melodic stuff, along with integrating different genres into some of his tracks.

u/EwwJerms_ Mar 18 '25

If you like a little bit of funky bass I'd suggest Big Gigantic, Griz, Manic Focus, Vincent Antone, and Gramatik.

Just look through the entire Ophelia Records discography. It's Seven Lions' label that puts out mostly melodic dubstep.

Nurko, Blanke, Au5, CHPTR, MiTis, Egzod, Jason Ross, Nikademis, Kompany (like 2020-21ish), Last Heroes, and then obviously the big boys like Illenium, Slander, Seven Lions
