I think this one is a goth hybrid of dubstep and tech-house. what I've been listening to a lot recently is the Electronic Explorations podcast, a Benga mix CD, and the Resident Advisor podcast where Surgeon did a combination of dubstep and techno. so it's kinda headed in that direction.

the bassline literally came to me in a dream. it was at Christmas, so I was at my parents' house. they had a little Casio keyboard for some reason, I woke up from the dream, went to the keyboard, and played the bassline. then I got it into Reason so I would remember it.

I made a beat with it, an mp3 maybe a minute long, forgot about it, and then found it again. the original files were lost so I put it in Live and used it as the foundation for a couple different beats. I make a new beat every day and post it on Twitter, or at least, a new beat most days, so point is, I fucked around with this thing a couple different ways.

Then I was watching Battlestar Galactica and there's this bit where she says "I thought about you every day since that moment I died in your arms" so I put it in there, played with it a bit, had the idea to sample the 80s song, and found it matched, badda bing badda boom, track.

it's good to hear how people come up with stuff, you get inspiration from every where! I can't download stuff where I am, do you have it posted on the net somewhere?

I like this track but wouldnt call it dubstep. Its def. more tech house than anything else. Maybe electroish even. I just vomited in my mouth.
