All star dubstep project Magnetic Man has been around for some time now, but this year Skream, Benga and Artwork have really put their project on the map. This friday their extremely varied debut album will see the light of day. Most of you will probably know their first single “I Need Air” (youtube), which is the most commercial track of the album. I’m not a big fan of the song, but the album contains a lot of different styles (around 140bpm) so there might be something in it for everyone.
One of the stand out tracks is “The Bug”. It combines dark atmospheres and creepy whispering with a heavy stomping bass and dark vocals.
This track is BIG!

Magnetic Man – The Bug
Magnetic Man’s next single will be “Perfect Stranger”, featuring vocals from the hottest girl in dubstep-world right now, Katy B. After “Katy On A Mission” (produced by Benga), this will probably be another big hit for her. The style’s a bit similar to “I Need Air”, but this one’s more my cup of tea.

It’s been some time since we’ve mentioned some dubstep on this blog, so I figured I should do a big round up of some of the tunes I’ve been into since our last dubstep post. This is one for the bassheads!
To start things off, now even the Wu-Tang Clan has found its way to the world of dubstep, through the release of “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep”. It’s a full album containing 19 of their tracks, remixed by artists like DZ, Excision & DatsiK, Matt U, Stenchman, Evol Intent and many more. I must say there’s some real quality stuff on this one!

Next up is Babylon System, who released their banging “Hyphy” EP. The backflip Get On Up starts with some nice reggae sounds and builds up to a big heavy rhythm!
The other track Dancin’ Shoes is little bit older (dates from 2007), but still gets me goin’. Again they use their signature style: reggae vibes followed by heavy bass action.

I’ve been playing G Funk-3000 on repeat the last couple of days. You might know XI from some of his remixes of hip hop/gangsta rap (which are a lot darker). G Funk-3000 is much more mellow and groovy, I love it!

Belgian electro producer/DJ Modek sent us his latest production. Apparantly he started making dubstep under his new alias The Stint. I’m really impressed with his brand new remix of an oldskool Neophyte hardcore tune. On top of this he made a video clip using parts of horror classic Poltergeist!

This next track by Excision is for those who like it really heavy (I warned you!). Excision is everyware these days and I like it!

Someone every dubstep fanatic knows is this fella, Benga. His album “Diary Of An Afro Warrior” was very well received, and he kept making fresh tunes since then. Rockstar is a new one and I must say he made another big one!

Those of you who remember Hangover know what this next guy is capable of! Also, he’s already got support from Benga, Caspa, Crookers, Datsik and many more. He recently released an EP with Ollie featuring two original tracks (one from Bare Noize and one from Ollie) and with both remixing each others tracks.
