dubstep

Mixes from Ikonika, Questlove, Flatliners, Mad Bros, Leftside Wobble, DJ Tutan, Dutty Artz & Cutups. Spanning dubstep, soul, hip-hop, house, drum&bass, dub and all kinds of combinations in between!

Last week I got a msg from two DJ friends, Muzo B. and Fuchs from our home radio Dinamo. You might remember Fuchs from his Quiet Village review. Both famed DJs/producers, here they are with a versatile mix of dub, dubstep and minimal house.

Hi kids, been away for the weekend, and did my first dip in water this year!!. One of the releases I took with me was the eagerly anticipated new release by the mysterious Burial on UK’s Hyperdub which had a very fruitful year in 2006. This new 12″ called Ghost Hardware is prime time Burial stuff a la his debut.

Hey-O-Hansen is a three piece Berlin outfit, that name their style Berlin-Afro-Alpin-Dubstep-Killersound, the second song “Moon” is from 2005, an electronic Balkanfolk dancer, which carved the name to my head that resulted in me jumping on this album which includes their singles from the last years

Ok now this is some serious shit! Some ppl prefer 2 call this dubstep but this really is something else!. Does not matter if you are into ambient, electronica, dub or dubstep – it has all the right and best elements of all these genres. This is easily one of the best albums i’ve heard in 2006! The music itself has an absolute beauty, very simple and inspirational, makes you wonder about many things. It is so deep that u may drown in the sound or float with it.

From now on I think all the bling MC’s and wannabe’s should open up their ears and listen to The Spaceape. As he’s one of the most powerful MCs I’ve heard for some time. His bass voice and strange Jamaican accent and phrasing is so ominious and domineering, he gives me the creeps like the guy in Saw.
