I've been told he was playing the track during the sound check/stage rehersal at a concert in San Diego. Im not sure if it was part of the show.

That's one of the least offensive pieces which has been written about dubstep. Big up.

The Times could have done worse than reporting on that night at The Echo as well.

yeah the times is not really known for its accuracy in reporting now innit?

i think it's fairly hard to convey the music through a magazine article, but they did a good job!

Just tried looking for the remix in the dubs section but it's expired, any chance of re upping it?

Greetings. I'm the jerk who wrote the article. Good to see it didn't ruffle too many feathers here.

As for the Justin Timberlake remix, here's where I found it:
