EMERGED 2011 · WHAT IT GREW OUT OF DUBSTEP, CHILLOUT, AMBIENT · 5 TRACKS TO START WITH, 2 SOURCES

Slowed-down dubstep that borrows the pads and calm of ambient and chillout, linked to the UK in the late 2000s. Blackmill, SizzleBird and MitiS are named as early names, with Phaeleh and Faodail pointed to as the more ambient end. The name turns up around 2011 and the style peaked about 2012 to 2013, when YouTube was where people found it.
