liquid riddim

Variation/style of dubstep that includes the sounds and flows of riddim, but often mixed with chill elements like relaxing/atmospheric pads, atmosphere, sampling, lo-fi flows/fx, etc. Often a lot less heavy as well. No it is not when the synths sound watery, liquid riddim can be any riddim sound design as long as it is mixed with chill/liquid elements. Just like how liquid drum and bass is to regular drum and bass
