Dubstep Round Up #9

Lets start this 9th episode of our beloved Dubstep Round Up series with a real banger! As you all probably know Original Sin is a badass jump up drum & bass producer. With many classics to his name (also from his G Dub-years) he has nothing to prove anymore. Still he keeps raising the bar producing banger after banger, not caring whether it’s drum & bass, drumstep or even dubstep. On his latest offering on the infamous label Playaz Recordings he tries out many different styles. “Air Raid” is the only dubstep tune on the EP, but it’s definitely a heavy one! Check it out below! You can find the remaining tracks here.

Original Sin – Air Raid

The next tune is actually drumstep, but it’s a remix by Flux Pavilion so I’m not really cheating… It’s his first drumstep tune, but he shows his skills once again. It definitely has that ‘Flux-sound’ to it! Kinda makes me excited about what the future will bring for this guy.

Talking about the future, these guys know all about it. Koan Sound have been pushing the envelope for years now and they’re finally getting some well-deserved recognition. On their latest EP Funk Blaster their main focus again went to 100BPM music, but I could also find a great dubstep track in there. Check out these tunes and buy the EP here.

Up-and-coming UK dubstep producer Widowmaker on his turn decided to make a remix of Skream‘s “Wobble That Gut”. A wise man once told me never to touch classics like that, but Widowmaker’s effort is rather huge! Not only does his remix outweigh the original, he decided to give it away for free! That’s right, go thank the man on his facebook page.

Next up I have three tracks for you that go very deeep. “No 6″ by Soap Dodgers was released on Wheel & Deal Records two months ago. The b-side “Drum Roll” is worth checking out as well. More recently SP:MC had a release on Tempa. The a-side “Hunted”, which is also very minimal, features Lx One.

Time to finish this post with a bangin’ track by MiM0SA. Someone, give me a car with a decent soundsystem, so I can drive around while blastin’ this song through the speakers! I wouldn’t call it a ‘dubstep’ tune, but I can’t come up with any label that would fit this kind of music… So just hit the play button and find out for yourself! His album is available on iTunes.

Koan Sound – Max Out EP

The almighty Koan Sound are coming with a new release, and it’s a damn big one! As far as I know they’ve always produced dubstep before (around 140bpm, that is). But after some off-beat experiments like ‘Garden Of Buddah’ and ‘Jumpsuit Adventures’, it was pretty clear that the 140bpm limitation wouldn’t last very long. Why am I telling you this? Three of the tracks on their “Max Out EP” are produced around 100bpm. They’ve produced a really refreshing sound, somewhere between Hip Hop and Dubstep. Especially the title track caught my attention! Check these three killer tracks out below! Here you can also listen to a preview the opening track of the EP called “Trouble In The West”. The EP will be released the 23rd of May on Inspector Dubplate’s label Inspected.

BONUS:
We don’t like leaving you guys empty handed, so here is a selection of some other 100bpm tracks worth checking out!

Adam F & Horx Ft. Redman – Shut The Lights Off (Caspa & Trolley Snatcha Remix)

One of the official remixers of the Wu-Tang dubstep album was Trill Bass. That tune was nothing compared however to the madness they’ve produced this time. The original by Koan Sound was already heavy, but I prefer the Trill Bass remix!

Koan Sound – Mafia (Trill Bass “Pots & Pans” Remix) (Removed on request)

Badass drum & bass tune by Jonny Cage aka Taxman, sampling Public Enemy. Released on Frontline Recordings.
