by Sebastian O'Dowd After 3 hours of waiting in the queue in the one and only entrance to the whole site of Boomtown we finally made it to the gate and the excitement began to build. However as if the long wait was not enough we then had our second hassle of the day, finding a space to put up camp, which at Boomtown proves to be very challenging due to the density of the campsite as a whole. But then the evening came and one can finally step back and lay eyes upon [...]

Who knew that a sound birthed in the UK underground during the earlier part of this decade would grow to the colossal status it has today? As this new era of dubstep is birthed, let's take a look back on some of the best wobbly tunes from the past year. Get ready for some bass. Breaking the genre's stereotypes of angry bass synths and kicking off our countdown, New Zealand's Mt Eden are captains of mixing chill beats with heartfelt female vocals. Having produced the almost universally recognized and genre-defining track Sierra Leone , these two show with [...]

After a month of procrastination I have finally finished a list of tunes which I felt had the biggest impact in Dubstep for the year 2010. My choices for this list are based on a number of random criteria. Searching through hundreds and hundreds of tunes (and a few Serato crates) I found myself asking: How often did this track make its way into a live set of mine? How many times did I see it in track-lists for other dj's sets or hear it out at parties? How popular was it online and amongst music retailers? [...]

Just because she's shagging Radio 1 DJ Greg James doesn't mean she can't get radio play on her own. Probably known best for her song "Starry Eyed," Ellie Goulding ( website ) seems to be made for dubstep. Blackmill took a whack at her "Your Song" with his brand of Melodic Dubstep. Check out some more of Blackmill on YouTube . Ellie Goulding - "Your Song (Blackmill Dubstep Remix)" : mp3 --- Laid Blak ( website ), the reggae [...]

Certainly one of the filthiest wrecking crews out there, Chasing Shadows is notoriously adept at combining chill reggae with glass-shattering basslines. Made up of Joe Erskine and Luca Gulotta, the UK duo is currently tearing it up worldwide, with shows coming up in their home country and New Zealand. Their latest riot starter Red is a remix of Bristol's leading reggae band Laid Blak. Beginning with some gentle acoustics and the tortured vocals of Joe Peng, this track truly takes a hard turn at 1:22 with a wall of speaker-blowing bass. It was [...]

I recently discovered this track, and literally reloaded it 5 times the first time I heard it. The drop is absolute destruction, Chasing Shadows nailed it on this one. Laid Blak- Red (Chasing Shadows Remix) Honestly, I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around it, this is out of control.

Hands down THE heaviest banger of a tune I've heard in at least a year. Chasing Shadows just keep cranking out the filthiest, darkest, heavy smashing beats and remixes. Laid Blak - RED (Chasing Shadows Remix) Flux Pavilion is on some aggressive shit. This guys beats are like jet fueled chainsaws to your ear drums type ish. But in a good way. DJ Fresh - Gold Dust (Flux Pavilion Remix) Here is the first bit of dubstep I've [...]
I just reach back from a week in Jamrock so this one speaks loud and clear to me. Chasing Shadows brings forth another murderously vicious bass line that drops like a tidal wave of filth. FOR MAXIMUM EAR DRUM EXPOSURE, TURN THIS ONE THE FUCK UP.
