A ton of the finest dubstep around comes from UK’s Skream. Emerging in 2003 as an early teen with a fantastic knack for production, Skream not only built up his own rep, but along with folks like Kode 9, Benga, Hatcha and just a handful of others, crafted the foundation of dubstep genre, with the help of British pirate radio station, Rinse.fm.

Here are two from the Skream’s 2006 debut release, ‘Skream!’, released on Tempa.

Skream’s new stuff is remix work for London’s dub/electronica staple, The Bug featuring (frequent Skream collaborator), Warrior Queen. Also a recent remix of Nottingham dubstepper, Geiom.

Scorn: Basura’s Pick of the Week

scorn Scorn: Basuras Pick of the Week

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks featured artist is Scorn (Mick Harris), remembered by most as being the former drummer for grindcore legends Napalm Death. Scorn has worked with avant-garde composer John Zorn and prolific producer Bill Laswell and has been remixed by the likes of electronic virtuosos Autechre, experimental industrialists Coil, and Meat Beat Manifesto to name a few. Scorn’s sound was a precursor to dubstep, and for the most part, can best be described as nightmare music- dark atmospheric tones and super low bass frequencies over left field dub/downtempo beats.

MP3: Scorn - Glugged

XI 8Ball & MJG feat. The Notorious B.I.G. & Project Pat - Relax and Take Notes (XIs Dubstep Remix)

Toronto’s XI hits on a fierce dubstep (or thugstep) remix of a gangster anthem, O.G. Memphis rappers 8Ball & MJG’s, ‘Relax, Take Notes’, with its epic Notorious B.I.G. sample on the hook & guest vocals by N.Y.’s Project Pat (of sizzurp sippin’ fame). Multiply southern rap by some Canadian dubstep griminess and this is one sinister product (Compare to the original! Video on YouTube).


MP3: 8Ball & MJG - Relax and Take Notes (feat. Project Pat & The Notorious B.I.G.) (XI Dubstep Remix)

XI is does dubstep events in Toronto called Subtrac. Get at it.

Burial - ‘Untrue’ out now: The elusive dubstep champion returns.

burial Burial - Untrue out now: The elusive dubstep champion returns.

Dubstep prodigy Burial, released his second record in his native UK yesterday. The new record is called ‘Untrue’ on Kode 9’s Hyperdub inprint. ‘Untrue’ is a follow-up to Burial’s 2006 critically-acclaimed self-titled debut LP. That first record was atmospheric—It was an eerie score to life’s more perturbed days—which might be the bulk of them. That first record was one of my absolute favorite records of last year, and it got Burial on the “best of” shortlists of The Wire, BBC, XLR8R, The Guardian, Time Out, Prefixmag, Pitchfork and countless bloggers. After a couple listens of ‘Untrue’, I’m thinking this album will repeat that success.

Kode 9, Hyperdub’s founder and Burial’s mentor did a promotional mix on Maryanne Hobbs’s BBC Radio 1 radio program ‘Experimental’ (formerly titled ‘The Breezeblock’). Once you get past her two plus minutes of utter fan-girl fawning, it’s a nice little auditory slice of what Burial is about.

Or if you prefer, just one choice selection plucked from ‘Untrue’:


MP3: Burial - Archangel

And if you missed it, here’s a few from the first LP and another track ‘South London Boroughs’ that was the A-side of Burials first single, but didn’t appear on the LP:


MP3: Burial - Distant Lights


MP3: Burial - Gutted


MP3: Burial - South London Boroughs

It’s worth mentioning that Kode 9 made a fine record with his partner the Spaceape last year. Release on Hyperdub, of course, ‘Memories of the Near Future’ is similar to Burial’s sound, but adds the Spaceape’s deep ragga drawl.


MP3: Kode 9 & the Spaceape - Bodies


MP3: Kode 9 & the Spaceape - Portal

Burial is an anonymous and reclusive producer who doesn’t preform live, but we hope that changes. You can stay up on things by visiting Burial at his MySpace.

You can purchase ‘Untrue’ and other Hyperdub records on Amazon, or alternatively, Boomkat in LP/CD/MP3/FLAC formats (OMG FLAC!).

Visit Hyperdub on MySpace or at their official site.
