Cool sounding, but I don't recognize dubstep in it.

onto your song Mr Bantersaurus; is it really dub techno? i don't think so, though i admit i haven't been keeping up to date with the genre over the past few years. genre nitpicking aside what you have is a very clean club roller that wouldn't sound too out of place in a set by say Scuba (SCB), certainly production wise it's a step up from 99% of the stuff you hear around here, clean, clinical, reasonably good mix.

a few suggestions: arrangement feels a bit shot in places, a second breakdown would have been good, that main melodic synth gets annoying pretty quickly so maybe you should bring it in and out of the mix and your bass could do with a bump up. i think that your drums/bassline/melodic synth+reverb drive the track really well and build a solid groove but the rest of your elements feel stuck in first gear while the main grooves motor ahead, now i know this is a part of how this style of music works, but the lack of presence is a real turn-off for me personally, if i'm going to have these additional elements in my mix then i want them to do more than just come and go in 8/16 bar blocks. it's interesting that you label your tune dub techno because you could learn a bit from the better aspects of that genre (and it's Jamaician forebear!), how to build around an underlying groove, how to introduce and work additional elements into a mix and how to arrange all this into a mix. don't get me wrong, i'm not meaning to bag on your tune, it is good as is but you could do much more with it imo.
