This is a term that is common in the reggae, dub, and old school dubstep communities. The term originated in Jamaica. Saying that a track or song is dubwise means that it has a deep, defined bassline that is reminiscent of classic reggae or dub. Dub is a subgenre of reggae that originated in the late '60s. It is usually really chilled out and deep sounding.
That new Deep Medi release is really dubwise!

Short for enneagram, which is a personality type system that is popular in the pop psychology community. There are 9 types, which are generally referred to by numbers.

Old-school dubstep generally refers to any dubstep that was made before 2010. The old-school sound is different from modern-day dubstep. An example of old school dubstep would be Burial - Unite.
The sound was characterized by low, deep basslines. It drew heavy influence from dub, which is a subgenre of reggae that originated in the '60s, but it was also highly influenced by '90s and early 2000s UK styles of dance music such as 2-step garage. As with dub, playing the music on good audio equipment is critical to enjoying the music fully because of all of the low frequencies.
Person 1: Is old-school dubstep still being made?
Person 2: Old-school is kind of a historical term, but if you're looking for something dubwise, check out the Deep Medi label.
A Rastafarian term for God. Ultimately, this is an alternative way of saying "Jah", which is the more common way to refer to God. Jah Jah is usually used as a way to refer to God in a very affectionate way.
