Who likes drum and bass and dubstep? Yeah, me too. So i'm assuming everyone else will be as excited as I am to hear that Breakage has a release date for his album. The scheduled date is March 22nd and it will be called 'Foundation'. Sick news or what?

The dubstep scene in Britain, and in fact all over the world, has exploded in the last few years. Just like any other underground scene that goes global, there’s a wealth of media cropping up that’s helping to define and promote the genre. There are influential blogs, documentaries on London and Bristol, club nights and labels galore and interviews here, there and everywhere. One of the most interesting things I’ve heard about recently is that Kode 9, aka media lecturer Steve Goodman, will be releasing a book soon – and were not talking fiction either.

Now I know this isn't really News, unless of course you're still living in 1994 (congratulations if you are), but I had to bring peoples attention to this video. It cropped up on youtube recently and it’s definitely worth a watch. The subject is Jungle music and it features some of the early pioneers like LTJ Bukem, Fabio and Shy FX, back when they were bedroom producers. I suppose the reason I’m bringing the video to peoples attentions is that itis interesting to think about the correlations between the early dubstep and dnb scenes

Without doubt, one of the most exciting acts on the Dubstep scene at the moment is Bar 9. Since their first releases back in 2008 this duo has gone from strength to strength and shows no sign of slowing down.
They are regularly placed at the top of bills with the likes of Loefah, Foreign Beggars and many other huge names. If you haven’t heard of them, where have you been?

Icicle is one of the most exciting names in Drum and Bass at the moment. Along with shogun labelmates Spectrasoul and Alix Perez, he is helping to push a deeper aspect of the drum and bass culture. The sound lies somewhere between the worlds of liquid and filthy rolling bass.

Alix Perez is one of the hottest names in drum and bass today. He’s been releasing music since 2005 but since releasing ‘Down the Line’ with MC Fats, things have really taken off for this French native.

Ital Tek, aka Alan Myson, is a Dubstep producer from Brighton. His music can best be described as a cross between dub and minimal electronica. The 2008 album, ‘Cyclical’, is a deep and dark example of the dubstep sound.
