Yesterday I was walking through a shopping mall and as I passed by the Parasuco store I was amazed as I heard Dubstep pounding out of the store speakers and into the mall concourse…. it occured to me at that point that there probably wasn’t a bigger hit in 2009 than the anthem “In For The Kill (Skream Remix)”.

Needless to say it was a big year for Dubstep as the genre exploded onto the world stage. Here in Toronto we were spoiled with headliner after headliner.  Promo companies like Embrace & 40 hz were busy bringing most of the biggest names in the game.

Here is a beautiful piece of music that I had to share with all of you. Instra:mental has really dug themselves into a nice little sub-genre in the past few years with their minimal approach to drum and bass music.  Al Bleek and Kid Drama are the highly acclaimed duo that have been testing the boundaries of drum and bass with a unique style that is unrestriced by tempo. Word on the street is that they are currently putting the finishing touches on a full length album that will be release in early 2010.  Recently, Instra:mental teamed up with fellow UK producer dBridge to create the Autonomic Podcast series that has been getting ‘rave’ reviews by drum and bass enthusiasts worldwide.  They also just had a release on the U.K label NonPlus+ Records that is just way too disgusting for words to describe:

Skream is absolutely killing it right now on the remix tip.  It’s almost like everything this guy touches turns into an instant grimey bassline.  He’s on tour right now with Benga and will be passing through Toronto on Sunday June 14th @ Wrongbar (Check the Facebook Event Invite).  Tickets are $18.50 (plus service charge).

Here’s a few blazing hot remixes to get you hyped for his return to Toronto.

DJ Mujava – Township Funk (Skream Remix)

Distance – Night Vision (Skream Remix)

Dave Gahal – Saw Something (Skream Remix)

Dutch drum and bass producer/DJ Martyn has released his debut LP “Great Lengths” and it is simply amazing. This album is a perfect example of why it’s difficult to pigeonhole Martyn’s music to one genre.  I find that there is a prevalent dub step theme throughout but he’s clearly drawing from other influences as well (drum and bass, dub, minimal house and techno).  You can grab it on beatport for $12.

My favourite track on the album is “These Words ft. dBridge”
