One Man’s Opinion : Dubstep Ain’t Dead
It’s been a weird couple of years for Dubstep. There have been highs and lows and depending on what’s important to you and how you measure them you can pretty much just switch them around. Need an example? Let’s take Magnetic Man. Pretty cool project from the outside. You’ve got scene stalwarts Skream, Benga and...
Interview : Jernalism
Northern Ireland’s Jernalism makes good music. So in an attempt to stretch our ever curious tendrils into the deep waters of this islands underground electronic scene we got in touch with him for a brief chat about it. Doing interesting things in the Garage and Dubstep spaces he’s getting his first release over the coming...
Author LP – {Tectonic}
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again…2011 has been the year of the album. There has been some amazing releases from some very talented people, almost to the point where an album release on the tail end of the calendar should be left begging for attention, fighting for recognition amongst the hazy memories...
Collision – Shadow Groove/Idenity {Sub Lab}
Don’t get me wrong , i love new music and it’s evolution into other sounds but there will always be a large place in my heart reserved for that classic Dubstep vibe that emerged out of the swollen commercial corpse of Garage, as such I have been a big fan of the Sub Lab ethos...
Interview with XXXY
Over the past two years Rupert Taylor aka XXXY has made a name for himself with some killer remixes for Radiohead and How To Dress Well. His own productions found a home on Pollen and Ten Thousand Yen and have seen him create a unique and atmospheric sound which works on both the dancefloor and...
Forensics – “Evl/Tied to the Big Hand” {Methodology Recordings}
Despite the ever changing landscape of Dubstep and the newly opened boarders of the loosely termed “Bass Music” that classic Dubstep sound is still being made and still being made well by many artists. London based Forensics is one such producer who’s new release pushes a stripped back and minimalist Dubstep vibe with that big snare, big...
Droid Sector/Nuphlo – “Out of Control/Control Room” {Terminal Dusk}
Sometimes a release really will surprise you, this is one of them. Right as i thought i had properly grown tired of the whole midrange thing in Dubstep a couple of tunes come along that change your mind. For a while it seemed like a wave of new producers were coming straight for our throats...

Stomp Mix [04] – Latent Saint
The new StompMix comes from all round creative soul Latent Saint. Producer, DJ and Photographer he has turned in quite an interesting mix. Running along what feels like a theme (but could just be me imagining things) there is a common but evolving thread from start to finish the makes it a very nice listen...
Kode 9 – Essential Mix
If you are like me it feels like about a good 2 to 3 years since the Essential mix was living up to the name. It’s not disparaging the people who have obviously worked hard enough and achieved enough to get there it’s just a difference in sound appreciation. Sometimes i can be buried beneath a big...
Squincy Jones – Nintendub
It’s kind of scary how much i still listen to this mix. Originally dropped by Master Jones in 2008 (almost 3 years ago to the day actually ) it fuses Dubstep,8bit loops and rap. I was originally put on to it by fellow Stomp Crew member Ganjdalf and i found the whole experience to be...
Stomp Mix {03} – Emmo
Another week another awesome mix, this time coming from Emmo. One half of the Bubble crew ( the other half being Vinnie) who put nights on in the Twisted Pepper, they also man a Dubstep show on Dublin’s Play FM and do gigs as a duo under the guise of MoFoHoBo. You can catch the...

Stomp Mix [02] – Drokkr
Over the last year it’s safe to say that very few, if any, other producers have caused as much of a stir at home and abroad as Cork based production powerhouse Drokkr. With a multitude of gigs both here and in the UK , all manner of styles of music being produced and mixes for...
