10 years of.. Dubstep by Subliminal Transmissions (Digest)
dis-integration by Rory Gibb August 22nd, 2010

Kicking off the first of 10 weeks celebrating Drowned In Sound’s tenth birthday, we put together a selection of features about the explosion of sounds currently emerging from the scene surrounding dubstep.

This list gathers together all of the articles for easy browsing, ranging all the way from interviews with the likes of Mala and FaltyDL though lists of labels and artists, to exclusive mixes and more.

Highpoint Lowlife: Thorsten Sideb0ard mixes for DiS
We chat to Thorsten about running a label in the digital age and the shift from physical to digital music consumption, and he puts together an exclusive mix of Highpoint Lowlife music – ranging from the ambient soundscapes of the Mandelbrot Set to hyperactive house/garage from Hot City.

Drowned In Bristol Bass
A special edition of the regular city column focusing on Bristol’s booming bass music community, with thoughts on the development of Bristol’s distinctive dubbed-out sound and a rundown of some of the city’s best producers.

Grime, 2010
Simon Docherty looks at the huge role the future sounds of instrumental grime have had to play in today’s musical landscape – beginning with Wiley’s pioneering Eskibeat instrumentals and ending with new material from the likes of SRC, Swindle, Blunted Robots and the Night Slugs camp. Featuring an exclusive ‘Grime Futurism’ mix that puts these shifts into firey context.

Ones to watch
