LOL boo u was 3/4 dubstep and woo riddim is one of the worst tracks ever, but the dj q remix was alot tbh. and the rest of the stuff they released is dubstep and garage

the only grime artists i rate this yr is trim and merky ace, was still a very dead year.
Go take a time out mate, life is clearly a bit too tough for you right now.

My vote would probably go to Kuedo for best album (yeah I know it's not 'Dubstep' sorry...). Though, if you ask me tomorrow I'll probs say something different.
I don't turn on Korn to get it on, I be playin Digi Mystikz 'til the dawn

If I'm honest, I don't think any UK BASS music album will top my overall list though.
There's been quite a few AWESOME completely different albums this year!

Tim Hecker, Emptyset, Clams Casino, Balam Acab, Mika Vainio, Iroha, Andy Stott, The Field, Ekoplekz, that re-issue of Vladislav Delay, BVDUB, Nicolas Jaar etc.

I like Black Sun, but it's not amazing tbh, some really stand out tracks but nowhere near up there with the best for me.

Albums I've loved this year are:

James Blake - James Blake
Jamie XX and Gil Scott Heron - We're New Here
The Field - Looping State of Mind
Rustie - Glass Swords (apart from that tune that is basically big room trance)
Ghostpoet - Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam (surprised this hasn't been mentioned!)

Non electronic:

TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light - this is just genius IMO.

Comps:
Hessle, Night Slugs and Hot Flush

2011 has been a stand out year for mix CDs though, favourites are:
Four Tet - Fabriclive
Jackmaster - Fabriclive
Ben UFO - Rinse
Pearson Sound - Fabriclive

I loved SBTRKT when I got it and saw them live and they were ace, but haven't found myself going back to it as much as I thought I might.

What about Bluku Bluku? Or the Blacks & P mixtape? Roachee? Faze Miyake? Cherryade EP?

You're from East London...if you're really this pissed off at the state of Grime, take it up with them personally. I'm sure everyone would love to discuss it with you.
