Dont think I can quite explain what it was like.

Anti War Dub on Irations rig made me feel shit I didnt think I could feel.

Oris Jay said in his own words, "I havent ever heard anything like this, its madness" haha.

Big shout to all massive and crew far too many to mention.

Gotta big up Si Scott for the motivation I knew Id get you there geezer! Hol tight Mala, Loe and Skream for the ridiculous sets and gotta send a huge shout to the lovely Mary Ann Hobbs for hookin up the Breeze Block recording.

Until next time, :wink:

oh my...I am a reggae boy at heart so Iration + Dubstep was a dream ticket for me!

Night was HUGE! Rig was HUGE! You NEED earplugs for this venue, I had none and it was the toughest sound I have faced down in 20 YEARS!! My ears still rattling!

Mystikz smacked it but Skream absolutely kicked the shit out of the place!

Highlights: Problems with the decks early on when the bass was literally shaking the rafters and the dust was pouring onto the records and, best moment for me, Mala pushing away Skream who was trying to pull up a track only to have Loefah sneak in on the other side to pull it! Pure jokes all the way!

I have pictures and video but still feel a bit wobbly!

Big up all in attendance, good to meet you Forensix (mcr) and I cant wait to go back there, best Dubstep night EVER!!

Pictures to follow....

:P: :deephouse party:

A couple of choice Pokes quotes:

"Who came here for a workout? Time to burn some calories."

"Loefah! Soldier! Gonna get trenchfoot tonight."

I had decent earplugs in so I just stood there vibrating for two hours... :7:

Large.

Big up to all who reached. 900+ headz through the door.
Special thanks to Digital Mystikz, Loefah, Skream & Pokes for a sick session and Mary Anne Hobbs for the Radio 1 Breezeblock recording.

This was next level shit. This is how dubstep should be felt.

Hold tight for future DMZ Leeds events at Subdub, Transmission & Exodus.
