Night Slugs has to take the number one spot for me personally as well. The brand/sound they've developed is just completely original..them, DVA, and a few others are really running with it.

in no particular order then:

Deep Medi - V.I.V.E.K, Calibre, Mark Pritchard, Quest, Silkie, Mizz Beats, Protecting Hands Remixes
Planet Mu - Vex'd, Starkey, Kuedo, Ital Tek, Falty DL
Swamp 81 - Skream, Kryptic Minds, Addison Groove, The Bug, Pinch
Wheel & Deal - Ben Verse, J Sweet, Seven, DJG, Headhunter, Phaeleh
Black Box - RSD, N-Type, Seven, Matt-u, Hatcha, Lost, DJ Madd

others labels that aren't quite "dubstep" that had an awesome year

PTN (Pattern) - Doc Daneeka, Hackman, Hypno, Breach, DJ Dom
Nonplus - dBridge, ASC, Vaccine, Instra:mental, Skream, Kassem Mosse, Actress
Well Rounded - Deadboy, Hackman, Donga & Blake, C.R.S.T.
Embassy - Distal, Mite, Cosmic Revenge, Acre
Numbers - Deadboy, Kavsrave, Redinho, Roska, Untold, Mr. Mageeka, Taz Buckfaster

sorry for the longness, one last thing....LONE. GET TO KNOW!!

Edit: just realized I didn't even mention Hyperdub. So make that six in no particular order.

circus & inspector dubplate

you're officially the new incnic

you'll need this

[joeki]

I just copped WRND007, this label needs to be in any list to be honest.

Not one bad release on there.

[AxeD]

Can't decide between Swamp 81 and Planet Mu.












Shogun Audio by a landslide which is the size of two landslides though.

well that one icicle release was tits indeed, so fair enough! unless you're including their dnb releases also..

[roshman111]

fuck i miss skull disco

No one really filling the hole that's left in terms of Shackleton vibes.

Osiris (For all the Kryptic Minds goodness and a Icicle and Joker D release later.)
Deep Medi / DMZ (Horsepower, Urban Ethics, Return II Space, City Limits)
Night Slugs (Although more UK House, 2 Girl unit releases and the overall standard of music is consistently amazing)

Tempa (for doing some represses)

Orphan101, Wedge, Gatekeeper, Arkist, Al Tourette's, Bloodman, etc. still have that sort of vibe. They were all there together back in the day after all. Well..Wedge and Gatekeeper for sure, but they're all from Bristol and put out music on the each other's labels.

The Ranking crew too. Plenty more I can't think of at the moment.

I'm including their awesomness. Nah but the topic didn't say dubstep only and otherwise I would probably still go with
Shogun for the Icicle stuff.

black box / box clever
swamp81
chestplate

[Mistform]

Deep Medi
Chestplate
Swamp81

My thoughts exactly.
+ Osiris

Oh, and Savory Audio should get a honorable mention, because they've been putting out very neat stuff lately (Oceania, Brent Still Life...) .

[dutty_switch]

Tectonic
Black Box
Deep Medi
Transistor
Swamp81

[murky21]

yeah i think the osirus11 release gotta put them in the frame...
also kryptic minds dub marine remix gotta push black box up there too..

[ChronosRecords]

CHRONOS are doing it! one of the only labels with producers that have their own unique sounds!

Big ups

[Mr. Mittens]

Swamp 81, easy. Lots of good labels about but no one abused 2010 like Loefah.
