...midnight request line?
I reckon some of caspa and rusko's stuff might go down well to a mainstream audience, but then again that might just be cos i cant understand ANYONE not liking it..
Never met anyone who doesnt like custard chucker!

Tes La Rok / Uncle Sam - Around the World Girls
shit is bananas dutty - bun down badboi chunage
Uncle Sam is pretty surprising with the vocals - has some sick lovers rock dancehall in his catalogue already

That Specials - Ghost Town remix. Who did that anyway?
Ruff Lovin - Discussed below...
I'm not sure how well many tracks could work mainstream because the majority of mainstream listeners won't be hearing the bass.

It'd have to be some of those indie remixes, like the Burial remix of Jamie Woon or the Skream/Plastician remix of Black Ghosts. There's far too few tunes with original vocals and catchy pop hooks otherwise.

i done a mix cd couple months ago to promote a night of mine and gave them out to people who not really in to the dance/electronica music in my local area but more into the getting drunk and dancing to the latest chart music.....
and i was suprised that alot of people liked the cd i done
all the girls loved d1 - mind and soul
most lads liked ether jar war remix or chest boxing.

I've said it before on another thread, but i reckon skream and plastician's remix of black ghost, with the right promotion, could really do well and could be the breakthrough track for dubstep.

Cockney Thug definitely
I've played dubstep to a lot of people that weren't really into it, but whenever I played Burial everybody seemed to be into it, so I guess that's probably the most mainstream dubstep I can think of.
See, mainstream doesn't have to be shit does it
