Then you have the burial, some Khan tracks, Pahelea, synkro being the future garage sound. I'm not a fan of the brostep off shoot. I like nearly all electronic music with the exception of that brostep crap and electro house
Bollocks!
Without insulting them but they're holding the sound back.
Silkie, Quest, Prism, Heny G, Chord Maraurders to an extent are all actually bringing something new and loads others what are not on the top of my head.
Most of those you listed (maybe minus Kenzo cause he has some brilliant tracks) haven't been innovating for a long time but instead stuck in a certain head space with never really expanding on it.
None of them are making a new Glamma, Learn or Lion VIP. It don't have the energy of grime with the class and production standard of the genres merged to create dubstep. Its just snare on 3 and 1/4 hats over some wobbley bassline.
Snore.
