WHY AN AWARDS FOR DUBSTEP?

Why an awards for dubstep? Good question. Well, over the years the genre has had its ups and downs. Although the authentic sound which is rooted within the soundsystem culture has proven it is here to stay. Obviously it’s not our intention to fuel competition between the diversity dubstep has to offer. On the contrary, with this concept we aim to unite artists, labels and promoters through a representative awards for dubstep, which is purely driven by a warm community showing their appreciation and vice versa.

The “Dubstep Awards 2018″ should be considered the best as a summary of the past year rather than a real competition. Together with the expertise of our respected partners Unearthed Sounds, Cygnus Music, JunoDownload, /r/realdubstep and Dubstep Forum, we have selected nominees in 10 different categories. For each category we’ve first put together a long list with possible names, while we have also listened to the suggestions on reddit’s realdubstep community in the categories best dubplate, best DJ and best event promoter. Following from this, we’ve carefully considered each individual name on the list to eventually get to a shortlist of final nominees, which are listed below and have been announced on the 16th of December 2018. Honestly we believe this is an amusing way to re-discover the year and explore what you’ve possibly missed. Oh and probably most important, attracting attention by hosting this online event enables us to proudly expose the true dubstep sound to a wider crowd. And eventually such exposure is the key to keep things interesting for everyone!
