Dubstep

I really got into dubstep in 2007 – yes a bit late but I’m just glad I found the genre before it passed me by. Current critics favourite (and rightly so) Burial released the majestic Untrue, the follow up to his self titled debut, with vocals and a lot of emotion. This is the after club dubstep, the plugging in your headphones and removing yourself from the world dub step, the 4am chill out dubstep.

On the other side you have the club banging dubstep - usually less experimental with the bass all crunked up and the focus on moving your ass…slowly. I liked this side of the dubstep too and FabricLive 37 – Caspa & Rusko provide club dubstep by the spades. I do tend to enjoy the FabricLive CD series and this one is no exception – great use of samples and some chunky tracks to dance to.

I am yet to experience what I have been told is the best Dubstep night in London – FWD at Plastic People in London. It is well known that the combination of a stunning sound system (Funktion One – as used at Fabric) together with the size of the club (small) means you get some amazing results. So my New Year resolution is to attend a FWD night and there really is no excuse as it takes place EVERY Friday.

The track I am going to publish is one of the best on Burial’s album Unreal – Archangel. However it is a nice remix done by 8-Bit Boy.
