UK Garage music was also known as 2 step and b sides of singles were giving a Dub remix with the tracks gaining more popularity and Dubstep was born although the original incarnations of the genre were much darker in tone and atmosphere than todays sound which (commercially at least) is dance tunes incorporating bass drops. Some good and some absolutely terrible.

The label Get Darker is a great place to find original Dubstep as is Hyperdub. Burial, Kode 9, The Bug and Benga are some great artists to check out.
