This double CD release offers a selection of highlights from the Multiverse studio’s recent history. Leading the charge are both ‘Lion’ and ‘Pop Pop’ by Vex’d, records that formed the first bridge between classic British industrial music and dubstep, a fusion now championed by the likes of Surgeon, Distance and Milanese.

This appears alongside Joker and Ginz’s ‘Purple City’ the track that spearheaded the emergence of the Purple Wow phenomenon. Also present is Pinch’s ‘Qawwali’ one of the key tracks that broke dubstep to a global audience via Mary Anne Hobb’s Dubstep Warz compilation. Pinch’s influence within Multiverse extends across the compilation through his collaboration with P Dutty on ‘War Dub’, featured in the movie Children of Men, and ‘Get Up’ with Massive Attack vocalist Yolanda Quartey and Bristol legend Rob Smith (RSD). Equally the more avant-garde work of the studio is represented through Moving Ninja, an artist who pioneered the blurring of boundaries between dubstep and sound design, and emptyset, whose eponymous debut album fused the streamlined European minimalism of Mika Vainio and Raster Noton with Bristol’s unique bass heavy production style.

This ground breaking selection of tracks sit alongside contributions by techno/dubstep pioneer 2562, half-step progenitor Loefah, Skream and Caravan label boss October.

We all love Rusko here at CYV, hes been dropping bombs for quite some time. His debut album O.M.G.! was  released just 2 weeks ago, and as he explains in this mad decent podcast, the album is more than just dubstep. Its mixes together jungle, dub, pop, and even old-school rave sounds to make an album that showcases Rusko’s multi-faceted production skills. Current favorite from the album:

Rusko – Oy feat. Crookers

The full album, released on Mad Decent, is available on iTunes. And, that podcast interview is definitely worth a listen, Rusko voices his mind on the new Album, growing up in York, dub culture, smoking cali weed, drinking moutain dew, pirate radio, love for 80’s soul, and his favorite track of 2009 (hint: its from Joker) so make sure to check that out.

A-trak’s Dirty South Dance 2 mixtape dropped earlier this week, and ive been listening to it nonstop for the past couple days. 
Its one of those cds that hits the grounds running, and doesnt slow down, no filler. Its 15 super polished mash ups strung together with A-trak’s world renowned DJ skills. These mashups aren’t copy-paste, hes subtly adapted each vocal to the beat which gives each track that extra snap-crackle-pop.
