Adventures In Dubstep & Beyond - Volume 2 (2CD) ~ CD ~ Various

For many, the Dubstep genre is associated with one sound – bass wobble. And of course there's plenty of that to go around, but with this release fully compiled by one of the UK's leading connoisseurs and commentators on the scene, Joe Muggs is here to showcase a far wider reaching sound of Dubstep. As he explains “it has always been an insanely flexible area of music, that keeps on chucking out tracks that are not just examples of the latest micro-trend, but which will stand the test of time just as, say, great techno tracks from the past do.” With 100% creative control, Joe has once again come up with 2-discs that combine both the newest names mixed with the godfathers of the scene, ranging from exclusive dubplates and unreleased material to lost classics from back in the day. It's a tour-de-force in the most exciting bass music around, Joe explains further, “the comp is mainly about trying to take what we did with Volume.1 a step further in all directions: more sonic variety, more different influences, more light and shade, more strangeness, more intensity, more surprises. It ranges from smooth soul to metal riffs, disco-funk to angry grime – in fact there's even some angry disco-funk-grime in there… There are tracks that range from house to jungle in tempo, but it's all about the mix and the flow of the listening experience, so hopefully it all works well as a whole – it's certainly not just about cramming loads of incongruous sounds together for the sake of it.” Tracklist: Disc 1: Gumnaam – Blow My Mind Chefal aka DJ Chef – Electro Bashment El-B – Romp J Beatz & Mr. Mitch – Panda Pop Royal T – Side Effect Slaughtermob – Buddha Assassinator Maddslinky Feat.
