A joint release between Hench and Plastician’s Terrorhythm label meshes two previously released dubstep destroyers: ’3kout’ by Jakes and ‘Gullybrook Lane’ by Joker to create a killer dubstep slammer ’3klane’. This came out two months ago (yes, you heard right, it’s not brand-spanking new, just like the Foreign Beggars remix I recently posted: hush your fashionista whining please; it’s a banger and deserves a look-in. Just because music appears on ridicuously up-to-date blogs, doesn’t mean it has a sell-by-date). This release has been on the cards since 2007, and it’s taken a mighty long time to see the light of day. All seering strings and ominous bass. It’s worth keeping your eye on this dubby Bristolian, Joker. ‘Snake Eater’ possesses a delicious female vocal hook – echoing and shuddering among staccato bass – while Stuck in The System made a big impact last year with it’s eerie ambience, dark build up and catchy refrain. Superb, fresh dubstep:
Jokers Of The Scene have been causing a stir with their electro-tech monster ‘Baggy Bottom Boys’. The remix comes from Ottawa’s DZ, a big name in dirty, electro-y dubstep right now. His remix is a big ravy monster of raucous techy dubstep. Other brilliant DZ bangers worth checking out include ‘Drop Top’, ‘Dirt Rave’, ‘Be Cool’ and ‘Down’.
During this electro-dubstep post I feel obliged to post Rusko’s huge remix of ‘Day ‘n’ Night’. You’ve probably heard it by now – but it’s nice to milk the last few drops from Kid Cudi and Crookers immensely popular collab. It maintains the original’s bumpy rhythm, but replaces the chiming and bmore percussion with pusling dubstep bass:
Croydon’s dubstep pioneer Skream has banged out a number of eclectic remix over the last few years, including indie-electro from the likes of the Klaxons, David E. Sugar and The Black Ghosts. This time Skream lends his hand to London’s Kitsune-signed La Roux. Her beautiful, crooning vocals echo soulfully, set against Skream’s floaty percussion before dropping into a clamorous d’n'b breakdown. Captivating. His remix of Control rinses that metalic dubstep sound that’s so popular at the moment. Frantic stuff:
