I don't know too much about the genre, dub-step. All I know is that this new release, by Pinch, called Underwater Dancehall is fucking awesome. It features two discs: the first with vocals and the second, without. I found that the second disc is where the magic really happens. Here’s an excerpt of a review from popmatters.com, where they delve a little deeper.
The second disc strips away the vocals, leaving only the underlying beats. As such, it gives itself up more slowly, requiring a freeform, body-centered kind of listening that focuses on rhythm, sensation, and varying levels of intensity. And yet, disc two, played at high volumes, is in some ways a more enveloping experience. You feel the bass-tones. You twitch in response to the shuffle of various kinds of percussion. You lose yourself in the undulating long tones of synthesizer. You realize in disc two that the title is really apt. You
are underwater, moving through cool currents of sound, and you
are dancing. And that alone may be worth the price of admission.
