Chillstep

Description

Chillstep is a subgenre of dubstep characterized by its mellow, relaxing, and atmospheric sound. It often features smooth, melodic basslines, gentle beats, and ethereal vocals or ambient soundscapes.

History

Chillstep emerged as a softer, more melodic offshoot of the dubstep genre, which gained popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s. As dubstep became more mainstream, some producers began to experiment with its elements, creating a more laid-back and soothing version that appealed to listeners seeking a more relaxed auditory experience.
