I put it to you that Muslimgauze invented Dubstep in 1995
I am a huge Muslimgauze fan and opwn over 60 releases by him (he is now dead) and around 95 he started only what I can say is Dubstep...any of you heard 90s mulimgauze?
Muslimgauze, together with the rootsman, made sounds that now would get classified as dubstep for sure. Check his intifada ep and you will see.
Anyway, for me dubstep bears quite some resemblance to some of the stuff earlier out on the ~scape label as well. Dubstep sounds might not be unique, the collage they make is. I guess.

there were also some IDM tracks in the late 90ties which now could be put into the dubstep box
for me first "grime" track was mr oizo's "flat beat"

I always thought Stereotyp was credited with writing one of the first dubstep tunes? Can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it was released on G-Stone.
Although it might not be pure dubstep, I point you in the direction of This Ain't Tom & Jerry by Cousin Cockroach (aka Dego 4Hero) which came out about 3 years ago on Bugz' label Bitasweet. J da used play it quite a lot on his show, but the mad thing is that it was written in about 1992, pretty much before even DnB as we know it had come into existence. Maybe it's a little more of a broken beat or dancehall vibe, but it's pretty damn close to a lot of dubstep too. Worth doing a Google for some audio if you don't know the tune.

I would agree with ThinKing that some Stereotyp productions have a real Dubstep feel to them. Check out 'My Sound' from 2003 on G Stone. Some tunes on there are sublow all the way
I also reckon the rootsman point is spot on. Lots of his mid to late 90's dub productions also have extremely similar sonics to alot of the dubstep productions around at the moment

For me the early Photek d&b sounds are a direct roots for dubstep.
Listen again to his first album called Modus Operandi in 1997.
Abstract environment with a strong darkside taste
And what about the Horsepower Productions on Tempa ? Uk dubstep originators for sure !

also check Sandoz' album "Chant to Jah" (1998) for predictions of dubstep's roots side. Kodama used a track from it in a recent mix on dubwy's site.
did the Burial release on Hyperdub remind anyone else of Pole, just a wee bit?
a dubstep mix using those two plus Muslimgauze has been knocking around in my head for a few months now but I doubt i'll get it together anytime soon. too busy right now.

yup, nice selection guys! muslimgauze rocks for sure. regarding to ~scape i`d recommend all the classic school of berlin dub (maurizio and all related things like basic channel records, pole (maurizio`s sound engineer, ~scape`s owner), chain reaction rec., rhythm&sound, burial mix rec. etc...) all are wicked minimal dub. i`m pretty much into minimal.
stereotyp is more tagged as part of vienna sound, there is an awesome 2step/dub/nujazz/dancehall mashup style. one of his earliest was yahman which was an unique dark dancehall minimalism. wicked track! also i recommend all things from dub club (regular show in flex club/vienna). they will turn to 10 yrs old this month and released again a very nice compilation of their sound.
and yeah i agree. there are a lot wicked dnb tunes produced in the past (and a few in present) that has something in common with dubstep.
