This is a term that is common in the reggae, dub, and old school dubstep communities. The term originated in Jamaica. Saying that a track or song is dubwise means that it has a deep, defined bassline that is reminiscent of classic reggae or dub. Dub is a subgenre of reggae that originated in the late '60s. It is usually really chilled out and deep sounding.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
