29 Minutes of Guido

Big up the Bristolian dubstep viewpoint. Guido, one third of the Purple Trinity is coming with the freshest sounds I have heard. The scope of his ideas is wide. For once not more of the same. Hear his debut Anidea on Punch Drunk records for more details. It is nuts really.

Sounds like there’s big video-game influence too. It’s like Streets of Rage 2010 re-release. There’s early 90’s RnB feel throughout a lot of his tunes, and I feel that tracks like ‘Shades of Blue‘ are picking up where ‘IDM’ left off. It reminds me of Autechre.

29 Minutes of Guido

Katy B x Benga

Benga teams up with Katy B to drop this huge dubstep tune, which as of this post unreleased but forthcoming. Benga is bringing dubstep to the masses here without cheapening the sound, a rare feat – impressive.

Levels.

For a third time here is some more dubstep juiciness in mixtape form. I can’t help but feature Phaseone and Joker again, two amazing artists taking the genre in different directions. Also included is Akira Kiteshi (big!), Gemmy (so fresh!!), Hyetal and Shortstuff. Some very new tunes here as well as old. The last track being a taste of things to come. Peace..

From the depths. Some crazy progressive dubstep here. I’ve chosen from among my favourite tracks. And see if you can spot a hidden gem from 1994. Hope you enjoy it.

Have some FaltyDL

He describes himself as a “veritable fountain of electronica, IDM, jungle, and drum and bass”. I’d definitely add some 2step, garage and dubstep to the equation. FaltyDL has just released a genre-defying album ‘Love Is A Liability‘ that takes 2step to a new level. Sometimes quite dark, the Jungle and IDM influences are very clear.

The stand-out tracks for me are Human Meadow, Paradise Lost and The Shape To Come (which is like something you would’ve heard from Planet Mu or Merck 10 years ago). I think it would be sick to hear a big wobbly dubstep remix of this last track.
