Benny lives in New York and runs a recording studio with Dinesh. Not sure if he's making beats.

Uh huh. I remember Blackdown playing me Classic Deluxe about 4 (?) years ago and me thinking "yeah, this whole 'garage' thing could work for me you know".
Still one of the best things I've ever set ears upon.

Their tracks are timeless...people will listen to them in years to come and they will still make sense...I still listen to them loads and marvel, so many little vocal snippets and film references etc...genius stuff...I hope they put some new material out...

Thanks for all the info! So now does anyone know if there will be future releases under the 'Horsepower' banner? I really hope so! "Fat Larrys Skank" is still one of my favourite dubstep tunes ever.... HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not as far as I know. Hopefully he's getting busy in NYC with Dinesh.

While we were away...respect is due to all producers, DJ's, promoters and listeners of dubstep music for keeping up the good 'ol undaground vybez. You know who you are !!!
