About the Dubstep App
The 21st century has seen a meteoric rise in technology and communications, the effects of which are no
more evident than within music. As the traditional industry struggles to come to terms with piracy, social
networking and the rise of DIY, bedroom run labels; the dubstep scene has thrived, resulting in its
development and evolution as an increasingly cultural movement. Dubstep has become the sound of the
new millennium.
As the music and surrounding culture has evolved over the past decade, the term dubstep has come to
mean more than simply bass heavy, dub influenced sounds over a half step beat. It has become a term that embraces the musical revolution happening now. An opportunity to rewrite the rule books and for the
current generation of youth culture to control its own destiny through the mass of devoted blogs, forums,
facebook pages and youtube channels. Itʼs popularity, already global, is still increasing everyday.
The dubstep app simply provides a gateway to this 21st century cultural phenomenon, offering easy, one
touch access to the latest news, exclusive features, new music and the most popular sites around the
internet.
Whatʼs new in 1.1?
The original binary unfortunately suffered from an operating platform update on the iPhone shortly after its

inclusion of a dedicated radio section as well as a more comprehensive and user friendly scenes section.
