Excellent Radio One documentary giving an overview of UK dubstep. The only downside is you have to listen to the woman Hobbs throughout.

Listening to MaryAnn a downside? Don’t get it myself… 😉
It’s her voice and her tendency to over-state things.
What’s with the Hobbs bashing? She’s a ledge-hammer. The Breezeblock’s been going for yeeears and has been nothing short of non-stop excellence. Her voice is grand and the girl’s got enthusiasm.
Dubstep. Yawn. Here today, gone tomorrow. More trendy shite for the folks who got decks for chrimbo.
Heh, yeh i s’pose she can be a tad over the top at times…but it’s deffo better than a jaded ‘here’s some more trendy shite’ presenting style!
*ahem* on that note…sure d-step’s flavour of th month at th mo, but I reckon it’ll stick around…we’re seeing some _serious_ crossover albums from the likes of Burial, Vex’d, Pinch, Various Productions etc which I can see standing the test of time (until next xmas _at least_ ;P )
(an who gets decks for chrimbo anymore? sure it’s all iPods n laptops these days!)
James. Yawn.
Yeah, i reckon he’s a ‘deep house’ fan ;P
C’mon lads. I think it’s about time we owned up. James is right – we only like Dubstep because it’s trendy.
Whos WE kid? Some of us Love it…some dont.
(sarcasm detector)
i got decks for crimbo 🙂
