Basically what has happened is that Dubstep is now commercialised and it is one of the few sub genres of Electronic music that has really become huge but of course that leads to a whole rash of inferior music and then it evolves again into something else with the original sound of dubstep almost obliterated but hey that's the mainstream for you.

I like some tracks from what is now classed as Dubstep but my heart is definitely in the original atmospheric sound of Dubstep.

Gavin B - I can certainly understand you not quite getting where the Dub aspect fits into the music but try giving Benga's Diary Of An Afro Warrior album a listen and you can certainly hear Dub even though it is distilled and the affinity to stripping down songs and putting them back together again with lots of effects which is part (only one admittedly) of what Dub is about.
