Dubstep allstars 5 got compilation of the month.
"N-Types also radio DJ, hosting a sunday night show on Rinse FM, where you'll hear arcane banter (hold tight the 613! Hold tight grand!)..."

Grand the Arcane Banter.
Sounds like the baddie in a shit Lord of the Rings ripoff.
Review was quite nice actually, brief dubstep primer and stuff about the actual CD in half a page is pretty good going.

while no compilation showcasing dubstep right now would be complete without the anthemic American-built '50,000 Watts' which sounds like Public Enemy swallowing a volcano.
beer, meet computer screen!

50,000 Watts Is such a massive record that it literally blew the electrics at London's key dubstep weekly, Fwd>>.
can anyone elaborate?

wasn't overly keen on the dizzee article, kind of annoying. just stank of the standard observer attitude to me.
and i hated the writer's little slights at wiley, both chiefy and utterly blinkered - "flaky", "self-contradictorily titled", "bizarre hotchpotch of hurt feelings and blustering self-justification" - what a fucking prick
rate dizzee though, he comes off as a very positive, intelligent guy

The key quote for me tho, esp when talking to Observer readers...
"Finally, a word of warning: it's almost not worth listening unless you're prepared to turn it up loud - part of the appeal is in the almost physical impact of the music and played on your kitchen CD player N-Type's ravey take on dubstep will just sound like a racket. But loud, it sounds like dubstep's recent inroads into popular culture are just the beginning."
I love the fact that dubstep comes with a disclaimer.

Who the fuck is some Observer journo to comment on Dizzee's relationship with Wiley.

"The first time I met this softly spoken east Londoner (real name Dylan Mills) was in the summer of 2003. Aged 18, and just back from his first trip to LA, he was sporting eye-catchingly mismatched trainers - one black, one white (a trend which has mysteriously refused to catch on) - and joking that the imminent release of his debut album left him with 'nothing much left to say'."
You're telling me.
