DSP ARTICLES

1st Article-
Dubstep Vs Grime today are both a genre of urban music.
Grime
Grime was developt from Uk Garage, Dancehall and Hip-Hop. Todays Grime has become very popular in England mostly London. Grime is starting to become global to America as 'Hello Good Morning' by Skepta ft P.Diddy, the artists made a collaboration together and Skepta is the first UK Grime artist to make a collaboration with a successful American Hip-Hop artist. "To Londoners Grime is our Hip-Hop and to Americans their Hip-Hop is their style of Grime" quoted by Skepta.
Dubstep
Dubstep is originated from London. Dubsteps early roots are experimented with UK Garage producers. Dubstep has elements of Drum and Bass and Garage. The MC's role in Dubstep is to ease up the beat and to make the tune not sound like heavy Drum and Bass. Other part of Dubstep roots are from Jamacian dub music. The DJS which are most successful in London today are Benga, Caspa, Rusko, Plastition, Coki and Skream. Bengas number one single that made number five in the UK chart and stayed at the top 10 for two weeks was 'Man on a Mission' Katy B ft Benga.


2nd Article
Dubstep and Grime have both become Londons most popular type of genre today. Many Grime and Dubstep artists are developing collaborations together and mixing up the music scene. Before Dubstep became commercial, the genre was mainly an underground scene. Dubstep has an overwhelming bassline, and does have occasional voices, and this is where Grime comes in as Grime takes Dubstep to a whole new level and makes Dubstep a whole lot different and appeals to a wider audience. As now Grime is accepted alongside Dubstep, the MC's and DJ's are taking there music to a whole other level.

to do list

- Photos of girl and boy in garage type place my location (hadley wood next to station) take photos when its dark. Few photos of different positions.
- Graphic drawing of artist Skepta for contents page.


<-- This font is what im going to use for the double page spread and contents page for the titles. The reason why I have chosen this font is because the Genre Dubstep is very loud and in your face and this writing stands out as it is bold and set in capital letters.
- COLOUR FOR MASTHEAD - White with red bold line underlining.
- MAIN COLOURS FOR MAG- Black,Red,White
Other publications of Dubstep have fonts which are bold and brightly coloured, I choose my colours too be blunt as my font already stands out enough and I want my magazine too have a standard of high quality and class.
