To keep up the generosity Skream has already showed this year, here's another free track.

What Did He Say - Skream

Introducing FLOP HAUS

So there’s Zinc with his Crack House, now look, DZ is also on the house tip. I was intrigued as to where that name came from so asked the man himself...

"It's a lil sub-genre name - I know I don't make house, so I just called it 'FlopHaus'. I was in Ottawa - was always messy round 5pm on a Sunday. I get drunk and build house. Feels stupid where it originates from but 'haus' sounds geigh so I love it. Lol"

Not to do with stuff flopping? Dubstep flopping, you flopping to house music etc?!

"None man. Sooooooo many tunes bout to come out, there’ll be lots more on the blogs as well – Teddy’s making that happen for me now, well stoked he’s on board. I'm flopping to 4/4... haha"

So that was that. Nothing deep about it, just fancied a bit of a change on a Sunday. Some say the truth comes out when you're pissed...! Back to the point, here are the tunes. Bouncy drum beats with some nice whirring, grinding bass lines. Check them and stick em in your sets and mixtapes...

Asian Cuddle Puddle – DZ & Redeyz
Game Over - DZ
Drop Top – DZ

Now for those who prefer the Dubstep biz here’s a few new ones from the badman camp. The two remixes are nuts, haven’t got my head round them yet! This though, has Fugees vocals, and it’s a whole different story. Personal preference though innit.

Next – DZ [RUDEEE]

Keep Me Hangin On (DZ Remix) – The Supremes
Need You (DZ Remix) – Dylan & Ink

The Wu-Tang remix album was recently out, I think, and he’s got a couple of tracks on there so go hunt that down, think it’s on Amazon at least.

Date for the diary...

EXCLUSIVE MIX #004

Brighton based Riskotheque brings us the fourth addition to our mix series where we showcase a slice of talent from each of the many areas of Dubstep. This one fits nicely into the rolling underground bass heavy sounds, tight beats and soaring atmospherics.

Not one for bigging himself up so we'll just have to do it for him...! Those in his vicinity should pop into the record store where he works - I don't know which one it is but go hunt it down, there can't be that many in Brighton. I'm certain he only gives top advice on what's hot or not cos he shown us how to put together a stompin set of dubs but not only that - he knows how to produce them too. Those who aren't familiar with his current releases check here. Otherwise get this on the download sharpish cos it's bangin'.

Introducing AUTOPILOT

Hailing from the greater Philadelphia region of southeastern Pennsylvania, Autopilot is a new name in the Dubstep scene. A self-professed fan of "melodic IDM", he aims to bring lush melodies & unique beatwork to a genre largely populated by atonal chainsaw basslines and sparse 808 drum patterns.

Hide & Seek (Autopilot Remix) - Imogen Heap [RUDEEE]

Producing music in general for almost 9 years, he's now found a home in the Dubstep community and is producing tunes frequently for his self-run "Deepstep" digital label. He works with longtime friend and musical partner Kochlear, a guitarist currently based out of Manhattan. The two have been working together on songs for as long as they've been composing their own tunes.

Remember - Autopilot
Bass Terrorist (Autopilot Remix) - Blight, FBOM, VVV

This "She Says" EP has come about from a competition posted in Dubstepforum in which people would remix the title track for prizes like a half-eaten cracker, and a picture of their likeness drawn in MS paint. The result is below and you all now know what to offer producers if you want your tune remixed. The Clueless remix has been getting support from the don of Dubstep - BunZer0.



Autopilot currently has a show on Sub FM on Sunday nights entitled Dubsomnia. The name was affectionately chosen by the regular listeners of the show. It features lots of deeper Dubstep, ambient music, IDM, and whatever tunes reside on his hard drive at the time.

Dub/Tech/Pop/Vocal/Step

released 23rd November
Big hook and the nation's loved it but, even though Breakage has done a good job on the remix I don't know if I like it. Hmmm...

Riverside (Breakage Remix) - Sidney Samson

Along the lines of Pinch's "Get Up" (which is released on the 30th November complimented with some top remixes) and Scuba's "When I Grow Up" remix, sick production from Pariah on this one.

Under The Sheets (Pariah Remix) - Ellie Goulding

We make the crowd jump up...

Sick video, sick remix package, sick original and… Never Say Die are giving away the RackNRuin remix for free. Yes… for free! Big fan of this guy’s productions, thrown in an old one which meant to post ages ago as well. Those who know The Equalizers, this is one half of that duo banging out gritty, dirty, ravey breaksie electro stuff. His tune Skitzo VIP featured on the Orange Rockcorps advert a while ago.

Ruffneck 09 (RackNRuin Remix) – Crtl Z & The Freestylers
