the untold track I love is Anaconda which I think is really bent. I really like his Ramadanman remix as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbj6iVyIgAI

Shackleton is great too, love most of what I’ve heard. Really into the percussion in it.

Dave, James, I’ve only heard one track from Untold and it may have been great but forgettable… I don’t remember it. I think it’s the one Blackdown wrote about a few months back in his Pitchfork column.

I’m with James and WattsRiot on their Shackleton and Kode9 points. Kode9 and Spaceape live sets are even more vicious! and Shackleton’s collab w/ Mordant Music was surprisingly great and I’m always listening to the Skull Disco comps.

D.WattsRiot, “Love Dub” and “Love Dub Refix” are compelling and sweet and definitely unforgettable tunes!

props also to the widdler, eskmo, lv & elemental

in terms of pure beauty, it’s impossible for me to ignore the master splinter of dubstep… shackleton.

ok this tune is cool.
but the most exciting for me is Becoming Real, from london… well he’s not a DUBSTEP producer, but check him out!

I felt safe as you said with the One Foot Ahead vinyl spinning in front of me, and yes, Expert Tuition works wonders. Digital Fauna is the Muhammad Ali left hook I didn’t see coming, bam!

With that and Cooly G’s ‘Love Dub (Refix)’ I’m feeling kinda intoxicated in a loved-up way.

It could be said that it’s one of the things that ‘dubstep’ needs to progress, as it has and will continue to do regardless of perceptions of ‘staleness’, lack of creativity, handcuffed by mental chains etc.

The latest DJ sets that I witnessed by Kode9, have embraced beats that one would not normally associate with a certain macho tainted box that dubstep has been placed in, and so much the better for it.

Thumbs up Zomby, Cooly G, Kode9, Silkie et al for continuing to explore, express and inspire.

thanks for pointing this one out. I think “Spliff” was the track that got me into Dubstep. I never was very into Drum and Bass or 2step stuff so getting into it was kind of strange. I was looking for more DUB and less STEP or something? a lot of the stuff I was hearing sounded like shit to me,butluckily I heard that track and eventually tried old 2step/garage stuff and like it. Does Untold count? If so hes probably my favorite producer at the moment.
