There are so many amazing shows coming up as we close out 2009 with a bang. Here are the big ones you don’t want to miss!

Dubstep has arrived in this fine city of ours and there is one promotion company that is absolutely TRAIL BLAZING their way through the end of 2009. Embrace has gone ahead and booked some of the biggest dubstep dons in the game today and I am absolutely ecstatic for the next few months in Toronto!
Benga (Sept.18th @ Mod Club), Skream (Sept.27th @ Wrongbar), Martyn (Oct.4th @ Wrongbar), Rusko (Oct.9th @ Mod Club), Caspa (Nov.1st @ Wrongbar), Bassnectar (Nov.26th @ Wrongbar), Joker & Nomad (Nov.29th @ Wrongbar).
Ungh. Better save up your pennies!
Here is an interesting pairing, Eve and Benga. I love how Benga re-worked this tune with a very catchy and funky beat.
Eve – Me N My (Benga Remix)
And staying on the remix tip, here are a couple other smashers you should already know about:
Kyza – Go (Bar 9 Remix)
Dizzee Rascal & Armand Van Helden – Bonkers (Doorly Remix)
…and if that ‘aggressive’, ‘in your face’ style isn’t your cup of tea, then check out this amazing Burial Remix of Jamie Woon’s “Wayfaring Stranger”. Very atmospheric and chilled the fuck out. Love it.
Jamie Woon – Wayfaring Stranger (Burial Remix)

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”
