Hi, my friend was teaching me about dubstep and says she likes listening to it while exercising. I've started listening to some (e.g. Skrillex) but most has an irregular rhythm or is very slow - can someone recommend any dubstep artists whose music has a regular beat, especially an uptempo one suitable for workouts? thanks

I'm guessing by "regular rhythm", you mean 4 to the floor.I think you'd be better off listening to modern electro house or something. Most dubstep is around 140 bpm, with halftime broken beat drums. Anything without this style of of beat (or "irregular rhythm" as you call it) is probably not dubstep.

thanks heaps folks - plenty to go on. Seems dubstep mightn't be ideal after all - grime, house and DnB might be better. cheers

Techno or Psytrance imo.
Get that tempo constant or pumping.

I've been enjoying slower tempo psychedelic music.
Good for listening and working out imo.
grime would be my choice, only one with enough energy for working out. otherwise i'd choose something away from electronic music.. some beat down hardcore or pantera? dunno
