But at Love D1 emphasized the basics and he got a big cheer every time he dropped one of the monstrous bass lines that dubstep is known for. Although “bass line” scarcely seems like the right term: the timbres are scrambled and the tones are obliterated; instead of a melodic groove you get a huge serrated blob. Dubstep is one more aftershock of an explosion that happened in the early 1990s when British producers drew from electronic dance music and dance-hall reggae to create a furiously syncopated genre called jungle — and later drum and bass.

Singer-guitarist Martin Zamigano may have been based in Hong Kong for 14 years but he has not forgotten his Malaysian roots.
