Flip to page 12 of International DJ Magazine in the March edition and you’ll find a kindly mention of the Pelski blog, as well as my short-but-sweet review of Pariah’s soulful slice of 2-step ‘Orpheus’. The introductory words call YCMMP a) a London-based blog and b) a dubstep blog. Neither of these are true, but there’s no doubting I’ve developed a penchant for more and more deep dubstep-related sounds…
Kingdom’s productions are usually associated with diva vocals, hacked into sped-up L-Vis-esque rave oriented affairs (for instance his recent
Black Box – I Don’t Know (Kingdom Remix)). But the New Yorker seems to have changed tact with his latest production, coming from a deeper angle, with the taps and sub-aquatic blips of minimal techno fused with the effervescent dubstep associated with the likes of Mount Kimbie, all reinforced by a gently rasping bassline.

Scuba’s surely the man doing the most to bridge techno and dubstep. If you

It’s worth it alone for the sneak peek at George Fitzgerald’s ‘Don’t You’ and Instra:mental’s ‘Voyeur’, among others. Thanks go to Hope Recordings for sending over this remix of Way Out West, all punchy percussion and dark, winding subs. Way Out West’s ‘We Love Machine Remixes’ is out Digitally on 19th April:
In case you think Pelski’s been scrimping on the ‘ol fun factor lately, here’s a tune Palms Out sent me yesterday. Garage legend Wookie injects a subtle funky vibe into his productions that fits with the sprightly, cheesy vocals of notorious eccentric Kenneth Bager. A bit of a guilty pleasure; I’ve become strangely addicted to this:
