These days (most) of the dubstep I hear is jumped into really quick and just all about wobbles, I prefer a different kind where it starts off the song more melodic. I already know how I want to do most of my song but I really seem to be struggling with one part, which is transition from one part of the song to another without it sound like I'm switching songs. Basically my song starts out with these really slow chords, which goes on for about 15 seconds, but then I want to switch into faster notes, which are the same notes as the other ones but just arpeggiated (think I spelled that wrong). So, they are a lot faster but I want to transition into them but without it sounding off or weird.

All help is appreciated, thank you!

Listen to Tristam, he's the best melodic dubstep artist I know.

Thanks listening to him hes good and kinda my style ill try and see how he does it still confusing
So any suggestions? I was thinking like trying to add the arpegiated melody into the slow melody (like near the end) but it didnt really work:/ still open to suggestions

i try to switch the feel of the song's speed in almost all of my melodic tracks like this one

just using risers and white noise fx helps a lot. also if you automate a reverb/delay on the final note of your slow chords to spill over into the next bar, it could sound cool too. automate the volume of each element to gradually introduce your new parts. if you start a new bar with new instruments at full volume, it could sound overwhelming, so a lot of the time just simply lowering the volume when the new melody hits and slowly bringing it up helps.

filters too!! use a ton of automated filter sweeps. sweeps pretty much force the listener to expect a change in something, and if you do it correctly it should blend different sections quite well
