next DMZ is Jan 7th ft Pinch and Distance!

yeah i've got some different ideas for the next one. but it needs to co-ordinate with the next Keysound Recordings release. gotta sort that first. mostly done though...

it's in the middle of our Keysound Radio mix

what about having suggestions? or top 10 (inc winners), so everyone gets represented...

what about best mix (studio and/or radio) and, ahem best blog?

the track before 'Ice' is Wonder's 'Undertaker' which samples WWF's Undertaker. Guilty pleasure alert!

the 'one step forward...' tune is Kode 9 ft Space Ape 'Backwards'.

So would you like to see dubstep remain strictly underground and is not then all that's needed to take it overground, a big media push, the likes of which UKG got with so solid and oxide/neutrino...ie a few posterboys, some controversy, a few more journos with clout propping the scene, a crossover ...

i would love to read simon on dubstep, his level of discourse would be really beneficial in dealing with some of the bigger ideas around dubstep's position in the hardcore continuum. do you have any idea martin, as to why simon hasn't really engaged? and by critical battle for dubstep what do you m...

tiny prancer everytime, if not just for the jokes wiley and jammer gif in the top left of his blog :lol: To be honest I'm quite keen on the local guttahbreakz, he seems to appreciate a really similar variation of genres, have a sense of humour and just come across as a bit more 'human' than the ube...

simon reynolds got me thinking about the whole damn thing in the first place. respect is definitely due to simon. energy flash is crucial reading for anyone interested in electronic dance music. but it's worth noting that he has never embraced dubstep at all. no one writes on the level simon does b...
