This isn’t dubstep. It’s Garage.
If I was to take a stab at “first ever dubstep tune” I’d say even Benga’s first release on Big Apple is a bit of a stretch.
Still a little bit more “dubstep” than the garage music that Horsepower was doing, which is basically where dubstep spawned from… http://www.discogs.com/Benga-Skank-Dose/master/15304
It’s hard to pinpoint where garage going dark and bassy ends and dubstep began… it was around 2002-2004 tho. imo.
