Dubstep mr postman1/17/2024 It made the Grindin top 20 songs of 2009, a list that I respect more than Pitchfork itself.īarletta – Panther (Zeds Dead’s Salacious Sound Remix) I know other people might disagree but this is the only Jakwob track I’ve listened to that really resonates with me. The only remix by Jakwob that stood a chance of making this list. The man himself killed Wrongbar for an eclectic crowd of entranced fans.Įllie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix) Darker than the Cruel Intentions remix, the accapella is blended with his melodic mixing of synths, bass and everything necessary to give his music a full, and complete sound.įever Ray – When I Grow Old (Bassnectar Remix)Ī musical masterpiece, this song grows and builds into a powerful mix of amazing drums backed with killer bass, heart wrenching synths and the haunting vocals of Fever Ray. This re-interpretation of The Heavy brings that same killer sonic synth. The Heavy – How You Like Me Now (Joker Remix)Ī remix of a band that I saw by chance at Lees Palace a couple of years ago. There is no synth out there that compares to Jokers. This was easily one of my favorite tacks of the year. The G-Funkmaster of Dubstep turned everything purple this year. With one of the best signature synths in electronic music, Joker has been the breakout artist of 2009. Simian Mobile Disco – Cruel Intentions (Joker Remix) The exceptional quality bassline that is smooth yet edgy and hits you where your heart is. Miike Snow has been one of the best remixed band this year and Caspa’s remix of Black and Blue is one of the best re-interpretations of his music out there. Miike Snow – Black and Blue (Caspa Remix) Caspa is on this list twice, and while Rusko has been the one to garner the most attention out of the former tag team, this artist, another godfather of the genre is right behind him. One of my favorite summer jams, the haunting vocals soft, but deep bassline and signature DeadMau5 synths make for an unbelievable medley of harmony and heavy. The musical sophistication with which Skream approaches his remixing is unparalleled and this song is a prime example of that sophistication.ĭeadMau5 and Kaskade – I Remember (Caspa Remix) The haunting synths, the rumbling oscillating bassline hits your soul and the poppy vocoded vocals are unforgettable.īat For Lashes – Pearls Dream (Skream’s Pour Another Glass of Champers Remix) While I have to give the nod to to his In for The Kill remix as the top remix of the year for this genre, this remix of Chromeo’s “Night by Night” might have to take the crown as far as my own personal favorite remix of his. The opening synth is so easily recognized that though the tempo was about to slow down, everyone is ready to get blown away by the bass. If there as one song that gave Dubstep a chance to be played in any club, at any time, for any crowd, it was this remix. This list is in no particular order, other than this track being at the top. La Roux – In For The Kill (Skream’s Lets Get Ravey Mix) Regardless, one thing this list has, its bass. My personal taste is not inclusive and leans towards the tones of certain specific artists. This list is in no way conclusive, or inclusive of everything the genre has to offer. From Rusko blowing the soundsystem at The Social (turns out it was really a blown fuse), to Skream and Benga, Caspa, and Joker making the Function One soundsystem at Wrongbar rumble, the genre has come a long way this past year. As basslines became the focus, and feeling your chest rumble became an expectation, Dubstep moved out of dark cramped rooms and onto the main stages of Toronto. (Cody Lekush, Zeds Dead and I are somewhere in front of the stage in this one)ĭubstep has had a defining impact on my year in music.
