I keep seeing this all over the place, it's alright - not brilliant but for a free CD on the front of a mag it's worth it:

I saw that, was pretty cool with all the live instruments, and Kode 9 weren't so bad after either.

When did you move back to the big smoke?

You'll probably like Kromestar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFO0374z3IY

I like much of the stuff on Sub Soldiers: http://www.boomkat.com/labels/?id=4287

Snes Dub is pretty good too:

But yeah.... I reckon Kromestar is the way forward for you :)

Hey Firky!! :lol:

I thought you'd like Kromestar, he's one of my favourites because I love dub too 8)

I don't mind the dutch, one of my best mates is dutch but she's fit, I was wondering where you went to when you vanished :lol:

Ohh I guess about three years now, I still lived in London so yeah about three years. Sort of discovered it by accident and I liked it but I was still convinced Jungle was better then it sort of grew on me. Benga's a grower I think, I prefer his mixes and live sets to Diary of Afro Warrior which although good sounds like something you'd hear in a trendy wine bar.

You know her, it's teeps :lol:

Are you still convinced nothing is everything? :D :D

Glad somebody mentioned Bass Clef. Fuck me that Cannot Be Straightened is too nasty for most, lol. I'm more into Dub than Grime as well... check this one for really dubby sounds. Also, newer Lee Perry is good for a new take on classic Dub sound. :)

oh lol ok, i never actually met her and didnt know she was Dutch, it doesnt suprise me she's fit hehe

did nothing stop being everything in the last year or so? :P

I am so absolutely convinced that im writing my thesis about this, it's the great conundrum of the unhinged schizophrenic mind, am i in control of the universe, or is the universe in control of me? (am i everything or am i nothing?) - this is cosmic isolation, the essence of a bad trip

I saw a dubstep track on addictech yesterday called something like 'I am everything (the everything is nothing remix)' :lol:

Look up the Dubstep Wars and Generation Bass specials from Mary Anne Hobbs' radio show. There are lots of free downloads of these around and they're ESSENTIAL. I learned more about dubstep in the two hours it took me to listen to Dubstep Wars than I did in the previous year of scrabbling around listening to tunes pretty much at random.

While you're at it, grab Kode 9's Sonar 2007 mix. It's amazing. Again, you should be able to find this easily enough online.

Splash out on one or more of the Dubstep Allstars mix CDs. Grab the first one if you can find it and want to understand the roots of the scene. Get Appleblim's latest for an idea of where things are going (ie. everywhere).

After that, follow your nose. Welcome to the exciting world of dubstep.
