Time for some dubstep again….
Much as I’ve loved (really, really loved) the last year or so’s excellent releases on labels like Hessle Audio, Apple Pips and Immerse, if I’m not careful with that stuff I end up listening to nothing but polite-step, running the further risk of taking an accidental turn into dub techno. (Indeed, this is how I ended up liking deep house: my listening entered a cul-de-sac which surprised me by having more than one exit). So without abandoning the dub2stepno axis altogether in this mix, I’ve tried to drop in plenty of bolshier-sounding tunes, whether it’s the brash soundsystem warmp warmp bass of RSD’s productions, Zomby and Joker’s next-level chiptunes or the full on balls-out dubstep of In The Death Car. Mixed earlier this evening on two 1210s, hope you enjoy!
P.S. Yes I know it’s too short!

For more of that techier dubstep I was talking about, check out Grievous Angel’s DubTech mix, where he mixes a whole stack of my favourite records far better than I ever could (the bastard!)

That’s a really nice rolling percussive mix. One of the best mixes of Lady Dub I’ve heard, really enjoyed that. Narcossist’s gear is just fantastic.

that’s too kind, thanks! the blends are pretty ramshackle i think, but i’m chuffed to bits that you enjoyed it, cheers!
