Skrillex
Skrillex became the artist most responsible for bringing dubstep to mainstream American audiences, winning multiple Grammy Awards for his aggressive, heavily distorted "brostep" sound that diverged significantly from the genre's more minimal, bass-focused UK origins. His 2010 EP "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" became one of the most commercially significant and influential dubstep releases ever made, its distorted, mid-range-heavy "wobble bass" sound establishing a specific American variant of the genre that came to dominate festival main stages throughout the early 2010s. Skrillex's role helping popularize electronic dance music's broader mainstream American festival boom during the early 2010s extended his influence well beyond dubstep specifically, making him one of the most commercially significant electronic music producers of his generation regardless of genre. His combination of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites'" genre-defining commercial breakthrough and his broader role driving American EDM's mainstream festival explosion has made Skrillex almost universally regarded as the most commercially significant dubstep artist in the genre's history.
VS
Flux Pavilion
Flux Pavilion became one of the defining producers of dubstep's melodic, festival-oriented evolution, releasing tracks including "I Can't Stop" that became widely recognized anthems during the genre's early-2010s international commercial peak. His melodic, hook-driven approach to dubstep production, incorporating more accessible song structures than the genre's more minimal early UK releases, helped dubstep translate effectively to mainstream festival main-stage audiences during the genre's American commercial explosion. Flux Pavilion's record label, Circus Records, co-founded with fellow producer Doctor P, became an influential platform for launching numerous subsequent dubstep and bass music producers, extending his influence on the genre well beyond his own individual production catalog. His combination of "I Can't Stop's" genre-defining commercial anthem status and his significant influence as a label founder has made Flux Pavilion one of the most significant figures in dubstep's mainstream commercial era.
