High Rankin is one of dubstep's most vibrant and colourful personalities and he's also one of Brighton's most well respected dance music exports. In the last few years he's gone from local name to big ol' star and the release of his Meow Meow video and t-shirts has made him something of a cult personality in the press as well. He's recently relaunched his Suicide Dub label and the first EP is a genre-breakin release with drum and bass, electro, dubstep and two tracks that frankly almost defy categorisation.

Saturday night saw a monumental night of drum and bass hit Brighton - and no, i'm not talking about Taxman and Hazard at The Volks. In that little basement club over on Middle Street known as Jam, two of dnb's most well respected youngsters were scheduled to perform a back-to-back set that had the heads in Brighton in an absolute flutter. Rockwell and Jubei have both developed quite a reputation over the last few years and you know at a show like this they are guaranteed to smash it.

If London is the birthplace of dubstep, then Bristol is like it's foster home. After it's inception on the streets of Croyden it was sent away every weekend to the smaller city of Bristol where it got a taste for techno and drum and bass influences. Like any youth in a small town it made friends quickly and before dubstep knew it - it had been officially adopted by the people of Bristol. Few labels have done as much for dubstep as those in Bristol. Labels like Tectonic and Caravan sit alonside DMZ and Tempa as the leading lights in the development of the sound.

I've tried to write this review several times without sounding like some kind of gushing euphoric child and quite frankly it's not happening. The fact of the matter is that I love Dusk and Blackdown and seeing them live on-stage producing Indian influenced garage music was like some kind of dream for me. I spend a lot of my life listening to acts like Nitin Sawhney and Talvin Singh and if you can imagine that music, but with garage rhythm's - and live - then you might come close to imagining what this gig was like. It was fucking immense.

Klute is responsible for some of the most ground-breaking tracks and albums in drum and bass history. There are few people who can have had more of an influence on modern day drum and bass. In fact i'd put the whole movement towards minimal and soundscape drum and bass down to him and Amit. Not only this but he is also responsible for one of the best imprints around - Commercial Suicide. Home to many a top-class producer. Not only does Klute have talent, he can spot it as well.
