I Love Dubstep - Various Artists

2008's biggest Dubstep CD release. DJ's Youngsta and Geeneus bring together more than 40 defenitive dubstep anthems on the RINSE label. And they are defenitely all very good. Its a nice mix of all the styles going on in the scene at the moment. Caspa's 'Rubber Chicken' is straight up huge minimal 'one-womp' bass business whilst tracks like Skream's 'Dutch flowers' takes the listener into some techno-dub infused beats of lushness.

Dubstep is a new genre of music which takes influence from Dub, Garage and Jungle (drum and bass) and fuses them together. It uses the same drum beat style of old dub reggae such as Lee 'Scratch' Perry and King tubby. Its drum noises come from the electronic synth style of garage and its basslines and eerie samples derive from the techniques used in Jungle. If you like Drum and bass you will enjoy this.
