It begins with a rasping hi-hat rhythm before a deep, slovenly, bassline emerges, ushering in a minimal reggae vocal that appears to concern itself with the old hippie values of peace and love.
Digital Mystikz's Anti-War Dub is a conundrum of a track, encapsulating the free-love spirit of the 1960s and welding it to the hard-edged urban dance sound of the 21st century. Such multilayering is typical of the genre that it has helped to define, dubstep, whose grinding rhythms have made it the hottest new sound on the world's dance floors.
An offshoot of the stuttered beats of British garage, otherwise known as two-step, dubstep first emerged in its most primitive form in London clubs at the turn of the century and has crossed from the underground to the mainstream thanks to a roster of international DJs.
If you don't know what dubstep sounds like, get down to Ivan the Kozak in Central on June 27 for the first visit to the city of the Truth collective (above right), one of the most innovative acts in this growing brotherhood of dance obsessives.
'I got into dubstep by chance,' says one-third of Truth, Andre Fernandez, from New Zealand, where the production team is based. 'I was playing drum 'n' bass, and was dedicated to it. I had heard of dubstep, but thought I would stick to what I knew best,' the 28-year old says. 'But then I saw the energy it brought out in people on the dance floor and realised it's got something. The impact was incredible.'
From that day two years ago in London, Fernandez was a convert. For him, it was the effect dubstep had on clubbers that drew him in. For the originators of the sound, widely considered to be the Plastic People DJs based in east London's Shoreditch, it was the need to do something different.
'Garage had gone as far as it could,' said Skream, another dubstep pioneer on a recent BBC documentary. 'This, though, was something different.'
