When many people think of the word Dubstep they automatically assume it must be aggressive, harsh and dissonant to an extreme. It is refreshing to see producers out there like Christian Bauhofer AKA Minnesota who challenge this stereotype by making music with more of a melodic, songwriter focus rather than strictly making the loud sounds they can program.
If you’re looking for an alternative take on dubstep then you might enjoy Minnesota’s latest track “Jetstream”. The glitchy synthlines and dreamy arpeggios used in this relaxing tune not only give Minnesota a unique sound, but may also give a potential way for dubstep to escape the arbitrary classifications often laid upon it.
