Dubstep Allstars, the original and essential dubstep series returns for its seventh installment.
Previous curators, dubstep luminaries Hatcha, Youngsta, Kode9, N-Type and Appleblim, have forged a legacy of entertaining and educating with equal gusto. Discovery, not familiarity, has been key. This code remains integral to the series as Chef and Ramadanman take the reigns of Dubstep Allstars 7, for a double disc expedition which unearths newfound pleasures aplenty.

Chef, much lauded for his main room DJ sets, employs a more show and tell technique for this mix. Released from the obligations of moving a peak-time crowd, Chef affords each riddim good time to be absorbed. Rapid fire mixes are replaced with subtle mixer effects and 1 bar loops. In some cases tracks are simply cut out to make way for the next. On paper this style could be almost nonchalant, but upon listening you realise nothing has been left to chance.
The peak and trough workout continues in earnest with Ramadanman on the second disc. Showing an acute sense of rhythm in both production and mixing. Testing a rookie ravers balance, he throws elastic rhythms into the mix and collides sonics to create multi textured soundscapes. Consistently demonstrating impeccable taste, Ramadanman draws on a school of artists who, like him, favour a clean, considered sound. He throws in dashes of grime with a handful of assured and abrupt riddims as well as the technoid, ethereal and rave-era influenced production which has allowed him to carve his niche as a DJ.

Highly Recommended!
