Thursday, January the 28th, UK dubstep artist 16-Bit invaded Chicago at the weekly Dubstep Thursdays with his original tracks and heavy dropping DJ set at Smart Bar, in Chicago. Fans of the underground musical movement that is known none other than dubstep were pleasantly surprised as soon as 16-Bit hit the stage. Playing newly recorded tracks from the unreleased “The Exploding Fist” Ep was well accepted by the fans, and knew they were in for an exciting treat for his first Smart Bar visit. The still underground genre is quickly taking flight and popularity in the electronic music scene with current dubstep DJ’s playing at huge world wide festivals and venues such as Coachella, Ultra, as well as local spots in Chicago and around the world.
Known for the heavy hitting bass and exciting build ups, the genre is quickly gaining popularity by attracting artists to do remixes of other dubstep tracks, as well as releasing cross genre tracks that have the heavy hitting bass that the genre is known for. Check out 16-Bit’s Myspace for tour dates, as well as new tracks from the world wide touring sensation that is, 16-Bit.
