There aren't many CDs released most stuff is on vinyl, altho you do get the odd comp dubstep allstars series on Tempa is usually worth checkin. Otherwise, i'd recommend downloads mixes an radiosets to find stuff your into.

You might like Babylon System here's link to radioshow they did http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=30106

hey!

big up notts!!!!!!!!

notts has a killer dubstep scene here, very progressive, very grassroots. no one here is really interested in pulling out massive tunes, it's all about deepness and good production values here.

Geoim is our biggest export, he doesn't really sound like anyone else.

check my site http://www.myspace.com/nottstep for info and all aspects of notts dubstep!

right, a who's who of nottstep:

Nights :

Misst (often get's up and coming djs/producers who are about to kill it)

Pollen (local talent night, it's all about different vibes, here some future
sounds here! turnout is geting better too)

ABunDance (big up SnoWman on this one. new night, very much a mix of big names headline for big tunes and notts people showing their new styles, strikes a good balance, big things for this night, keep locked!)

Wigflex (not a dubstep night, well kinda is by peak time! run by Spamchop and friends, residents are music nerds, nice venue, free computer games! often has sets from other nights residents at the moment)

Heavyweight rocksteady (the original and best? the nights at the social were great! whens it comin back?)

Futureproof (dubstep in main room, very nice venue, big out of town though, good vibes there, dark)

more info on the site!

You could better listen to Ramadanman, because he's one of the big names!
Although for me it's impossible to go to Leeds next week.

You can also listen to the Radio Mix of Teslarok on the Mixes forum here on Dubstepforum. Some great dubstep including the Scandinavian Clouds who definately are one of the best newcomers.

There are also lots of good mixes and shows on this forum.
And do not forget Mary Ann Hobbs her show of experimentel electronic music on BBC Radio 1, which include lots of dubstep most of the time.

Also would like to mention the new forthcoming album of Pinch which sounds great! And offcourse Skream who focussed my eyes on dubstep.
