Kyoto was released in 2011 by American producer Skrillex as part of his Bangarang EP, with guest vocals from rapper Sirah. The track became one of the defining songs of the early dubstep boom, known for its aggressive drops and repeated vocal hook. Short bass boosted edits later spread widely on YouTube and soundboard sites, where fans isolated the heaviest sections for sharing. That clipped, overdriven version is now reused far beyond electronic music, appearing in gaming, car audio and meme edits where a familiar dubstep hit is instantly recognised.
