albums of interest: first stop should be the Kode9 & the Spaceape album Memories of the Future, everyone rates that.
Two other dubstep albums (there aren't actually very many of these, dubstep 12'' and compilations are thriving, but I'm gonna stick a few mixes up in the near future):
The Bug - London Zoo
Despite having some great tracks we built it up too much, so JH and I were disappointed with this. However it has alot of big Jamaican dancehall names in it, worth reading some reviews and seeing if it sounds like a good bet to you.
Pinch - Underwater Dancehall
Worth a gander, there are still vocals but not so many and it's a cerebral one to be sure.
You should be able to find them but any trouble just holla.
edit: make sure you have headphones or decent bass capabilities, it's all in the sub.
edit 2: also that Skream album has some bangers but i still think it's flawed. It's worth it just for Midnight Request Line though, first choon i heard  |
grrr...just another reason to hate boston. they've got an amazing hardcore scene already. they coulda left this to a city marginally closer to me.
I already have the Bug & Kode9 albums, I'll be sure to give them a spin. The Skream album didn't do all that much for me but this Distance LP seems to work pretty well.
As of right now I'm operating out of a set of Sony cans, not terribly bad but definitely not Sennheisers. Decent bass at any rate. My computer & home speaker systems are feckin awful though.
