monster 12inch from skream & g squad! is this dubstep? what is dubstep? who cares when its this good. ringo records drops another super fresh 12? skream takes apart a d&b classic with his own inimitable style.

as 2011 unfolds, ld very much retains his own sound drawing from his roots: drum pan sounds of jamaica resonating throughout, flashes of soca drums, subtle tribal nuances, and the ghost of jungle reverberating in the warm, pulsating sub bass. it seems now is very much the time for ld to make the transition from behind the scenes and into the limelight.

a strand emerging within dubstep is a mutant jungle strain within the sound. needless to say, its impossible to imagine dubstep without the dna of jungle: its prominent in so many ways and places, from burials foul play influences to loefahs love of the sound itself. members of the scene used to dj jungle, from n type and kode9 to jason, transitions mighty mastering engineer. in fact the whole ?dark« component that makes dubstep distinct from uk garage has its roots in el-bs twin love of metalheadz and 2step. jungle is less an influence on dubstep, more like the foundation on which the whole scene, via garage, was built. but in spite of all that, a re-emphasis on jungle-flavored dubs is emerging within dubstep, songs that use chopped breaks, epic pads, and vocal samples like it was 1994, from producers ld and cluekid. by martin clark
