SO DEEP IT'S PICKED UP ON RADIOS IN TUNNELS... Hatcha
Dubstep is absolutely killing right now, building steam with a tremendous surge of creative output from an ever wider roster of heads getting involved from production, to DJing, to promoting, to reporting. It's difficult to even keep track of all the tremors being felt underground right now, but the likelyhood of a seismic thrust forward into dubstep's next wave seems great at the moment.
The surest sign of this would have to be the reemergence of the almighty DJ Hatcha, whose
recent Rinse FM sets, and especially his mammoth new
mix CD, boast so many new dubs that the global dubstep massive will be waiting years to come for most of them to see the light of day...
