New to the genre - tell me which artists/tracks to check out

mgpg89 · Post by **mgpg89** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 5:46 pm

a friend introduced me to the genre and I fell in love with it, but I think I have only heard the mainstream dub artists / tracks so far, so I'm asking you guys to give me some suggestions on what to listen to, based on the stuff I already like:

fav tune at the moment: 'africa' by the others & '26 basslines' by benga

I got the FabricLive.37 mix by caspa & rusko and the tracks i like on there are: the terminator, well 'ard, cockney violin, africa, the legacy, cockney thug ...

thanks in advance!

Love it or hate it, a good bet is probably to check out the friend lists of artists you like on MySpace - sure you'll soon stumble on somethin you like!

...and of course there's loads of great tunes in the forums here- check out the dubs section and see if you can grab some 320s!

peace

really depends on what you're into, but seems you're liking the heavier side of things;

some heavier artists: Reso, 16Bit, Skream, The Others, N-Type, Subscape, Benny Page & Zero G, Nero, BAR9, Cluekid, F-One, Coki, Komonazmuk, Caspa, Crissy Criss, etc.

you should do your history too, imo;
check out a couple of old tunes;

Coki - Officer
Coki - Mood Dub
Skream - Midnight Request Line
Pinch - Qawwali
Loefah - Goat Stare
Artwork - Red EP
etc

really all the older Deep Medi and DMZ releases.

some of my favorite artists would be;

Hijak, Mala, Distance, Loefah, Breakage, Skream, L-Wiz, The Bug, Benga, Walsh, Coki, 16 Bit, Reso, Subscape, Caspa, Sukh Knight, Trolley Snatcha, Kryptic Minds, Truth, Kromestar, Von D, Mr. Lager, etc.
