Definitely. Mixing grime and dubstep is sick :twisted:
Adds so much hype to the crowd, it's great :P

i still think grime and dubstep make great companions. they came from the same root, just took different routes. there was a time when they were closer (kode9, plastician, tubby) but seem further apart now, bar the fact that grime MCs have now recognised how big some of dubstep's riddim are (ie Night etc).

to me the grime MC is still the single most original and interesting UK urban voice. grime is energetic, raw and angry in a far more interesting way than many dubstep producers try and make their beats energetic, raw and angry. so we try and play as much of it as possible in our sets.

i also think the w*nky stuff, esp joker, gemmy, starkey and zomby is perfect to mix with grime: we tend to zig zag between the two, like on our XLR8R mix.

So many people I know love dubstep but completely fail to see it's connection with grime, I mix them both and some people are like what? haha.

When I first heard dubstep I rang my friend up and was like "yeah it's sick it's basically instrumental grime with less claps" :lol:
