Dubstep 101

[TheMightyGreg]

A genre I know very little about, I recently purchased Burial's 'Untrue' on someone's recommendation. It is staggeringly good, and I'm suprised how much i love it, especially as the whole 2-step thing kinda passed me by. Atmospheric, dark, gritty with a lot of shared production elements to techno really. Want to get some of the slower, heavier stuff too a la Benga and co.. anyone got anything to shout about?

Nice

Re: Dubstep 101

there's a DJ called Youngsta who's sets are very good. I would grab the album by Skream (called Skream) and maybe both his and Benga's essential mixes from this year

Just got the Appleblim RA podcast, starts off with dubstep and then goes into more housey stuff, a really good mix.
