The oldest type of Dubstep, UK Dubstep uses simplistic and retro sounds. Instead of heavy electronic drums, it uses realistic-sounding drums. This genre is similar to Deep Dubstep and Chillstep, but it’s less dark and calm, simpler. A UK Dubstep song might have plucks and a sub bass instead of leads and growls.
