Swamp81 , recently voted as label of the month by Resident Advisor, is a label that is far from modern day conventional when it comes to releasing music. Unlike the majority of electronic labels Swamp81 embraces a more traditional approach by offering vinyl only singles that are encouraged to spark their own natural buzz prior to release, admittedly the word 'limited' is often thrown in to fan the flames, however this is an acceptable tactic in our opinion when you consider that the majority of music in the digital age is so widely available that it rapidly looses its innate [...]

"Swamp 81 and DMZ legend Loefah rings in the New Year on Xfm.. when i first met him he was up to his neck in glue every day.. sticking adverts on the side of Black Cabs in LDN.. in 6 short years he's changed the electronic landscape for all time.. not once but twice..." - MAH
Swamp81's head honcho Loefah has uploaded on his Mixcloud page the Rinse FM shows of the past months. Good news if you missed them! LOEFAH ON MIXCLOUD
First off, I want to apologize to Caspa. Last week, Steve Aoki came to Roxy and murdered it. It was sold out and out of control. Throwing cakes in kids faces, crowd surfing, showering people with vodka (not champagne). I was hoping for the same turnout for Caspa, but Orlando dubstep fans seriously disappointed. Possibly [...]

Dubstep sounds haven't graced these pages for too long and just while I was thinking this, an excellent new cut arrives from Tectonic boss Pinch . Admittedly this was a week ago or so, but you come here for the quality of writing and sharp wit not the timing, right? Pinch, real name Robert Ellis, teams up here with label mates Loefah and Roska which instantly bodes well given their respective back catalogues. The Roska collaboration on side A, 'Broken', is a brooding, melodic number that [...]

Ya boy-- @Crimestein [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Bonobo - [...]
Hello and welcome to Wobble Wednesday! Here you'll find the tunes that exhibit the classic dubstep sound - thunderous sub-bass lines accompanied by minimalistic top-end elements. If you ask me, it's the perfect music for sitting back and relaxing (although you can see my recent jazz post for alternative chill music). Now, if you happen to be looking for some absolute get-off-your-ass-and-dance raunch music, then you might be looking for Skrillex-esque filthstep, which you can find in my Filthy Friday column. With love and dub, @Crimestein [...]
