Gurameen Chadha on 02 Feb 11Source: NPR. Date: December 30, 2010. Genre: Music. Sami Yenigun explores a new type of house music called dubstep. Known for its heavy bass, dubstep has began to take the music scene by storm. Derived from London, England, dubstep is a very new genre of music that falls into the electronic or house category. This type of music is particularly attracting to the younger crowds, mainly college level students. Artists such as Nero, Caligula, Skrillex and James Blake have become popular names in this new kind of music. Since it is so appealing to the younger and more energetic crowds, it got some of the biggest response at music festivals such as the Electric Daisy Carnival.
