PostDub by robIN
A melodic dubstep album where emotional harmony meets modern bass design. Lush chords, expressive leads, and cinematic builds are woven into powerful low-end, half-time grooves, and polished drops. Designed to move both the body and the heart, the album blends atmosphere, melody, and impact into a cohesive, forward-looking sound.
I used Suno Ai to produce this album by uploading ten original piano compositions, each providing a harmonic, melodic and rhythmic core, and invited Suno to produce and arrange them using a detailed stylistic brief. The result is not a replacement for human musicianship, but a fast, provocative extension of it: a way of hearing the music I created through a radically different production lens.
The guiding prompt was:
Create a cohesive album of cutting-edge 21st-century dubstep designed for large festival stages, DJ performance, and high-powered sound systems. Tracks are primarily centered around 140 BPM (with a halftime feel at 70 BPM), maintaining a unified dark, futuristic aesthetic. Emphasize massive sub-bass weight, chest-rattling low-end pressure, and aggressive yet controlled bass modulation. Blend modern dubstep with elements of bass music, halftime, and experimental electronica using advanced wavetable and FM synthesis, granular processing, glitch-influenced edits, and wide, immersive spatial effects.
Arrange tracks with DJ-friendly structures: clean, beat-driven intros and outros (8–16 bars) for easy mixing, clear phrasing, and predictable energy transitions. Drops are clearly defined, with space before and after for layering. Avoid clutter in intros and endings, keeping drums and bass simple and mixable.
Incorporate crowd-interaction moments throughout: extended tension builds, dramatic drop-outs and fake-outs, brief silence or sub-only pauses, call-and-response bass phrases, stop-start rhythms, and explosive re-entries designed for hands-up reactions and crowd engagement.
Tracks move from sparse, ominous openings to peak-time, high-energy festival drops and cinematic breakdowns, always polished, modern, and impactful. The overall mood is bold, immersive, and future-focused—engineered for DJ sets, late-night main stages, and intense headphone listening.
What emerges is a conversation across decades: new musical ideas, shaped once slowly by hand, at machine speed, revealing new colours, tensions, and possibilities.

I first picked up the guitar at 15 in the late 60's to learn Led Zeppelin riffs.
In 2008, after 40 years of playing and teaching the guitar, I switched to the piano and have never looked back.
Piano has greatly assisted my composition and improvisation skills and is brilliantly useful in the production process.
