Hello, I've seen an old thread lately, where people discussed what the best dubstep albums are (viewtopic.php?t=104014)

But there weren't exactly really many Tempa releases mentioned. So my question is, what are in your opinion the best releases from Tempa?


Mine are:

-Horsepower Productions - To The Rescue
-Horsepower Productions - In Fine Style
-Horsepower Productions - Quest For The Sonic Bounty
-Skream - Loefah Remixes
-Youngsta/Seven - Architects/War Cry

Looking for more, thanks in advance

that last one looks odd on that list.

Skreamizms 1,2 and 5
Coki - Tortured / Shattered
D1 - V1
J:Kenzo - Roteks / Protected
Amit - Acid Trip / Don't Forget Your Roots

Good vibes, maybe to add,

Skeptical - Echo Dub
VA - The Roots of Dubstep
Headhunter - Initiate

Off the top of my head:
High Plains Drifter - Sholay
Skream - Midnight Request Line
Tempa Allstars 2
Lx One & SP:MC - Hunted
Dubstep Allstars - 2 and 5

Missed out a load of good stuff but I cba to remember tunes atm, also good shouts so far

SP:MC - Declassified EP

One of my favourite Tempa releases is Headhunter's 'Futurebound', three big tunes and that Headhunter sound!

coki-tortured coki-tortured coki-tortured coki-tortured coki-tortured coki-tortured coki-tortured coki-tortured

Big ups to Futurebound! EP rocks

Hunted / Oh My Gosh
Roteks / Protected (representing all the solid Kenzo releases)

coki shatered
skream! and the firsts skreamizm

loefah skream remixes
dubstep all star 2, 5 and 7

haven't posted dsf in an age but had to step in. no one has mentioned TEMPA 034, "Trust Nobody" is arguably the toughest tune Tempa has released. any stepper knows that

trg - decisions
headhunter - nomad lp
cosmin trg - now you know
horsepower - let's dance / when you hold me
horsepower - gorgon sound
dubstep allstars vol 6
tempa allstars vol 5 & 6
kode9 - fat larrys skank remix
headhunter - 3 mad ps
dub war - murderous style

I never got cosmin trg decisions sounded very boring to me. Now you know is great tho

Decisions has this very weird drop aswell, and the vocal just doesn't really fit in with the rest of the tune. all in all the whole of it feels a bit clumsy, unrefined.

i agree it's not his best work tho. but it's one of the best tunes on tempa to this day imo

Roots of El-B

top 5, no particular order:
Tempa Allstars Volume 1
Benga - Buzzin/One Million
Dub War - Murderous Style/Generation
D1- V1
Headhunter - Initiate EP

special mention for SP:MC & LX One - Down cause I like it but the flipside is a snoozer.

U wot? Judgement is sick and works great in the mix

D1 - V1
D1 - Missin'/Cocaine/Firin' Blanks
D1 - Identify/Degrees/Molecules
Skream - Skreamizm Vol. 1 & 2
Coki - Shattered/Tortured
Sp:MC - Trust Nobody

Edit: Totally forgot Tempa Allstars Vol. 2 if only for the Warning remix. Tune is HEAVY. Also forgot Skream - Tapped/Dutch Flowerz
