Dubstep: loud sounds to picture a specific atmosphere

Two months ago, I posted an article about my quest of inspiration for the soundtrack. I found some ideas in Futurepop but now I consider opportunities offered by Dubstep.

I think this kind of underground music (more information on Wikipedia) can be particularly adapted for my project. Why ? Because it's electronic dance music, so it can refer to the future, with sounds made by computers and machines.

Moreover bass lines are particularly amazing and powerful, as you can listen in the first video at the bottom left 'Laid Blak - Red (Chasing Shadows Remix)'. This loud sound makes me think about the rumor of a huge machine.

Rythms are usually syncopated so it can create a strange atmosphere, without linearity.
I think it can be perfect to illustrate the fight between Rebels and Citizens standardized by a modern dictatorship (and their machines).
In this context, Dubstep can show the confrontation between freedom (irregular rythms) and standardization (regular rythms).

Don't hesitate to share your favorite Dubstep songs!
