Right here we go: Subject to change but i think thats close

Already forgotten what I put on that top ten list a while back, sure they were all top quality though

also kalawanji,
can't say i full agree man, dmz stuff is definitely overrated. the prices don't even reflect that they're just stupid, but releases like mud/antiwar dub and haunted/lean forward (i'm sure everyone else has different favourites etc) have got to be the quintessential dubstep releases; dark minimal and amazing on a system. they might be b8 and overplayed but it isn't a stretch to say they're some of the best at all

Big up man. Hope you saw what I saw, some absolutely quality tunes being left out, cos when you think of all the tunes that have come out since, what, 02? 50 isn't really that many.

Nah, they were shite and wrong.

yeah man, i wrote a list, realised it was at about 90 or so, stopped and cut it down. was harder than i thought but thats definitely a good thing

2 cane cutters in a row? You got something right at least

[+] Spoiler

Illusions tho

yeah i agree quintessential classics, some of their tunes define dubstep for me and some are my favourites. But the best? its not that they're overplayed or more famous i just don't think that they made the best dubstep tune and never had (its the same with Skream). It's producers like appleblim, shackleton, pev, pangeaa, toasty, boxcutter, vex'd, burial, pinch, d1, guido, distance, horsepower productions that are just a step above

there is a difference between a tune being your favorite and it being the best dubstep tune

Area as a whole has been one of the most consistently good dubstep labels imo. Never suffered a "down" release, and tunes like Tube Sound, Cane Cutter, etc. are classic dubsteps for me.

Cane Cutter might also have my favourite drop too.

if darqwan said the spider can be called dubstep, its up there too

Aidy's girl by darkstar aswell

There's a lysergene tune on area that's always been a percy, cant remember the name

Sub Ritual?

Im pretty sure it's inner workings, i've got no headphones at work to check

Ah yeah, that was the digital only release weren't it. Could be ripe for a vinyl release, if you're listening Be-1ne....

The latest one is my amazing too. Don't start is fucking amazing.

Yes man! So glad I grabbed one. Wanted the Compa remix too since I first heard it.

for sure! Original is one of Compa's best tunes, but the remix >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

for me it's gotta be like
Loefah - Mud and horror show, for being pure classics if nothing else
Kahn - Dread
Peverelist - Roll with the punches
Mala - anti war dub
Pinch - qawwali

honorable mention goes out to Skeng for sheer banger nature and endless wheels and plays 6-7 years after its release

Joker - Tron

is also pretty epic
