For The Dubstep Heads

25 Tracks: A Dubstep Chronology by Eighteen on Mixcloud

FULL TRACKLISTING RUNDOWN AT DiS HERE

Joker/ Green/ Lily

This track will be going to number one in a week or so (mark my words). So you might as well give in to it. If you're not already converted (I am) this remix will help.

Magnetic Man HQ

A little dubstep banger from Skream, Benga and some other guy. Turn the bass up for this.

Two Dubstep Tunes

Both very different. This is on a rave tip....



And this (as one of the Youtube comments says) just makes me want to 'brukk out'!

Plastician

Three new Plastician dubstep tunes including a really cool Chew Lips track right here for you to download.

Joy Orbison

This guy is smashing it at the moment with a gorgeous, chilled, two-step kinda dubstep sound. He's from Croydon- like Benga and Skream and this new track apparently stands for 'Brooklyn Chillin'. MORE HERE

Dubstep Bangers

Both have been around for a little while but i've only just found them.

Dubstep Takes Over

I was in Berlin the other week as you'll see below. The Germans have very specific music tastes. To my mind they love very minimal techno, scary metal and cheesy euro-dance.

And at a club called Maria I realised you can add another genre to that list. The UK's own Dubstep. I leave Brixton to go to Berlin and end up at a stonking Dubstep night. Bizarre.

Benga and Skream were supposed to play seperate sets but decided to go back to back and of course killed it. Biggest tunes were Benga's own Crunk, this remix of The Streets and the above La Roux remix. Sorry about the DJ, but it's so big I had to post it. Wait for it to kick in at 4mins.

GET A CLEAN MP3 AT HYPEM

Guess Chad and Pharrell have done it again...

The Neptunes’ first phase- from Kelis’s early work and tracks for Jay Z to the pop of Justin and Britney- dominated radio and the charts. Hence it was ripped off left, right and centre. Despite writing Milkshake and standout tracks for Gwen Stefani, Lupe and Clipse there was a dip in quality around 2004 to 2006.

It’s no surprise that Chad and Pharrell (now both in their mid 30s) have switched their sound up or that it has worked. Now they seem to be using more electronic European sounds in their sort-after beats. Certainly Common’s most recent work and much of Madonna’s Hard Candy include lots of beats and bleeps. Spazzz was pretty much a drum and bass track.

Lil Wayne ft Pharrell- Yes

On this Lil’ Wayne song (presumably for one of his Carter projects) Pharrell takes influence from another British scene- dubstep. A genuinely innovative genre. Williams will tell anyone who will listen about his love for Bristol. On this evidence he hit some clubs in the bass loving city the last time he was over.
