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.

Enjoy,

Gonna keep this post short and sweet. gWorm does sick mashers of hip-hop against dubstep. It’s good.

Skream Vs. Trae & Young Joc – Lightning in the Hood (gWorm Mash-Up)

The flutes in these next two dubstep grooves remind me of some shit straight outta’ Zelda! Skream, hailing from the UK, has already put out a whole host of top-notch dubsteppary, most notably his Gold Record acclaimed remix of La Roux’s “In for The Kill.” Offering up a nice subby wobble and some epic flute melodies, the track glides through 5 minutes of head nodding goodness! I imagine playing this one at a nice outside event while everybody’s hangin’ out in the sun…or something like that.

This one is a bit on the heavier side, putting up some well-chosen vox from the movie Snatch. I don’t know much about Enigma, except for that he’s young and from the UK.
