I just listened to David bowie's 1997 "Earthling" album, is this where dubstep came from?

or was there iconic scratchy rapid frenetic drum electronic scraping noises before Bowie?
listening to these songs. I kept thinking about Skrillex, but that wasn't for another 13 years.
You're viewing a single thread.
Dubstep was emerging around that time, way before Skrillex and the particular style of it that he popularized. I think I hear the similarity you pointed out, though. It may be just a coincidence or a deeper common influence - for example the first song on that Bowie album sounds like drum n bass which was a likely influence on early dubstep.
yeah, I've been listening to drum and bass since posting this, and I definitely hear the similarities, especially with the classic drum and bass another comment or posted.
