Distance mixes Dubstep Allstars Vol. 8
Drum and Bass | Monday 18th July 2011 | Osh
It’s dubplates galore on the Rinse FM DJ’s latest mix for Tempa
The CV of Greg Sanders, A.K.A. Dubstep mastermind Distance, must be a sight to behold. The lauded DJ, producer and owner of record label Chestplate is now a member of Tempa’s elite club of revered selectors, having become the eighth artist to be granted the privilege of creating a Dubstep Allstars compilation. The back catalogue list of guest mixers reads like a who’s who of the main proponents of the genre with such icons as Kode9, Appleblim and Youngsta already fixtures in the Allstar Hall of Fame.
Volume 8 has shaped up to be a sub-driven tour de force; it bends to Distance’s artistic vision by showcasing his Dubstep/Breakstep influences and the darker, more atmospheric side of the genre whilst maintaining a steady flow of delicious drops to assuage any pent-up bass cravings.
The album features lots of his own new music and provides a satisfying selection of tracks from his contemporaries LX ONE, Cyrus, Tunnidge and Benga to name but a formidable few. Of course, in traditional Dubstep fashion, eighteen of the twenty-five featured records are dubplates. Dubstep Allstars Vol. 08 is poised for release on the 22nd of August, so save all of your coppers until then - it will be money well spent.
