Mellow dubstep that complements female vocals is quickly becoming my favorite style of dubstep. Not to mention it is tasteful, which I am a big dick about. Now in this track we have Breakage providing the melody and I could totally listen to the whole song as an instrumental. However, Clare Maguire provides a beautiful and slightly haunting vocal part that meshes seamlessly with the dubstep background. It reminds me of the song ‘Magical World’ (seen here) that was mixed by Bassnecter and much like that song it has some serious bass if you put it on anything bigger than your generic white iPod headphones. And to be honest at the end of the song I always wish it would last longer. (Problem solved, I found the ‘repeat’ button.) Anyways, best bet is to have this track for personal or small group usage, not much of a party rager. Know what I’m sayin’?

Folk star James Vincent McMorrow’s songs are usually gentle and relaxing, the perfect music to while away a summer afternoon to. However, Montreal duo Adventure Club have reworked ‘We Don’t Eat’ into a powerful dubstep tune that’s bursting with grinding bass and heavy beats, but lacks the strong whomps that people tend to look for. Despite that, this tack is a beautiful contrast with McMorrow’s vocals that tugs at the heartstrings. Or something like that.

I think it is fair to say that you can mix any song, sound or noise with dubstep and create a slick track; from movie soundtracks to internet memes, we’ve heard it all. This time we introduce DSKOTEK, a duo from LA, and their thank you post for the 3,000 fans on Facebook. “Mega Man” features the many beeps and boops from the original Capcom series… And more. The remake pleases my inner child with nostalgic memories, and at the same time makes him laugh maniacally as my childhood pastime is (epically) mutilated by some aggressive dubstep wobbles. Need I say more?

Whomp! Whomp! Wobble…
