Used widely by DJs to create music especially at music festivals, Riddim is a type of Electronic Dance Music that uses a variation of flangers and triplet percussions to create a rhythm. Flangers are used to mix two sounds together—one of the sounds is slowly introduced into the first sound—and a triplet percussion are three beats played along with the original beat. In Shock Value by Subtronics, you can hear the triplet percussion and flangers being used between :45 and 1:00. Riddim is different than other categories of dubstep because of the triple percussion specifically, you can hear the difference if you listen to Subtronics (riddim artist) versus Zomboy (brostep artist); brostep is a subgenre of dubstep.
