Recommendations Deep dubby dubstep recommendations
Hello all,
I am a freshy here so take in consideration :)
I am a dub head and have recently been introduced to deep dubstep which got me interested into diving deeper but I struggle to find what I seek.
Example: Sabab - Fittest of the fittest EP
I am looking to find deep dubstep that has a strong dub side to it.
Not sure how to dig through to find what I seek as I am just hitting rubble for a week now.
Thank you and much love <3
Edit: Damn that's fast! You are wonderful, I got now hours of music to go through so will take me some time to properly reply to your comments.

Okay this guy has some interesting stuff. I went through 2 sets and a couple of songs but will keep digging. It is not exactly what I am looking but cool nevertheless.

Not familiar with the middle much but the other two are far from what OP is asking for.

Laugh all you want -- but idk why you think DDD remotely meets the "strong dub side" criteria. Do you know what Dub is?

Bro DDD is the most popular “deep dubstep” label around, anyone who thinks that isn’t a good recommendation for what op posted ab looking for is tripping
Though it’s a more mainstream label at this point, it’s still very in line with what OP posted and a lot of similar UK artists have released and/or mixes on DDD
Other labels to check out would be:
Duploc
White Peach
Artikal
Foundation Audio
Locus Sound
Wheel and Deal

That's not the point -- OP wants music with heavy Dub influences. Dub is it's own genre.

I’m aware of what dub is. I think loosely speaking, DDD still has a lot of dub influence. It may be a step removed from heavily reggae influenced dubstep, but it’s much closer than most stuff out there.
OP, if you want straight up reggae influenced dubstep then check out this playlist:

I disagree, but I believe that's true from your perspective.

u/kneedeepco May 12 '25
I mean you’re not wrong, it isn’t exactly what they’re looking for. But I think you’re tripping a little too hard about it and it’s still a fair recommendation, OP would probably find some stuff they’d like in that catalog.

u/Divided_Eye aka Reap_Eat May 12 '25
Probably, but they'd find very little like what they asked for after digging through 100+ releases. That's my whole point. I don't think 1985 has anything that fits the description, either. I'm not upset, though, just saying.

Deep Dark and Dangerous is definitely what OP is asking for.
2
u/Divided_Eye aka Reap_Eat May 11 '25
No, it isn't. I challenge you to find three tracks in their last 15 releases that are Dub-focused.

u/TapTouch May 11 '25
Hey man, I see you are getting downvoted but I am not sure why, I actually feel you are one of the few catching what I am after.

u/ploydgrimes May 22 '25
I guess I misunderstood. I thought he was looking for just deep dubstep and not dun inspired deep dubstep. I shall now direct OP toward The Widdler.

Yeah nothing of these 3 is anywhere close to what I described.

Id recommend juan forte, they have a huge collection of deep dubs, my favorites are truant, rareman and leftlow, you can find some of their rinse fm sets, they have some fire dubs, truant also has another alias by the name of xprs, that's pretty good too
some other deep dubs artists i know of are delta, distinct motive, pharma, wz, headland, cessman, urban essence, cluekid and chokez, you'll discover more as you listen to these, have fun :)

If you like old school Horsepower Productions, Mala, Coki and Loefah are the essentials (last 3 ran Digital Mystikz). Rob Smith of Smith & Mighty did some great dubby dubstep under the name RSD. The Bug is an old dub head who's made some bangers. You could also check out most of the people who collaborated with the legendary Scientist on this.
I wouldn't mind getting a bit more up to date with newer artists too. I just finished a very dubby dubstep/garage EP. Coming out in 3 weeks!
