This week Rob is taken over by some of the moderators and key members of the Dubstep Forum community.

If you’r into all things dubstep related and you haven’t been onto dubstepforum.com then get yourself signed up for a memebership. It’s a living breathing dubstep library of tracks, mixes, radio shows, production techniques, events, and banter. Rob’s invited 4 members of the forum to lay down a set. Boomnoise, Metalbox Products, Staypuft and The Wiggle Baron are all included in this s2 hour long Electronic Exploration.

This one’s not to be missed…

Boomnoise

“Moved to London from Newcastle in 2000, sucked in by the romance of pirate radio and UK garage.  I’ve been lucky enough to follow the mutations of the sound through, as well as other underground styles.

With this mix I’ve gone for an eclectic approach, mixing dubstep with garage, urban house and ‘ardcore:
old and new variations of the London underground sound I love.

I’ve tried to keep it rhythmically vibrant, deep, yet full of groove and funk; just the way i like it in the dance.

This is a 30 minute mix which merely scratches the surface of just some of my tastes and favourites old and new.”

Metalbox Products

“I’m gonna do predominately all exclusive tracks that haven’t been on air before and throw a few released tunes in there. Got about 5 new tunes and a load of unfinished tracks that I think I will loop up and put in the mix.”

Staypuft

“As a kid I’d turn just about anything into a drum – rain gutters, hubcaps, desks, etc.

Through high school I furthered this rhythmic obsession by playing in bands and diving headfirst into IDM.

In college I translated my passion for beats from drumsticks to decks, and began djing at the school’s eccentric little radio station.

In 2004 a new sound caught my ear – dubstep! I’ve been djing and throwing shows all over California ever since.

This mix is an homage to my two favorite swaths of sound – dubstep and IDM.”

“With the mix as a whole I tried to bring in the best of what the forum has to offer. With records released/labels launched by dubstepforum associates as well as quality unreleased dubs. Coleco, Somejerk and Hexadecibel being the unreleased talent. Hexadecibel winning the last dubstepforum sample pack contest ‘n all…(and someone I could see going on to huge things!)

I used the Flippo track “Rain” as it is A) a wicked bit of work, and B) as its the second release on the dubstepforum’s label, pressing issues. Where tracks are sent in by members of the forum, and are voted for anonymously leading to a final tracks making it to press.

Sully is a long-standing dubstepforumer who’s going on to big things now imo. Getting lots of tunes released now, and rightly so cos they’re ridiculously good. His “give me up” on 2nd drop records, as well as the phonebox EP on Frijsfo beats I used in the mix are bloomin’ amazing.

Vaccine, Pangaea and Ramadanman I’m also guessing need no introduction, but I used their tunes particularly again for their long-time affiliation with the forum. And again because they’re wicked tunes…I used the Ramadanman tune “response” as it was the first release on our very own Deapoh’s label (and online shop) Bare Dubs.  Deapoh has of course been supporting the scene seemingly forever, with his grime/dubstep mix download site “barefiles” that helped to spread the scene endlessly by offering thousands of mixes by all sorts of dubstep/grime artists worldwide for free download.

Parson is another long term ninja, who produces some seriously interesting music…and discussions

…And I haven’t really got any affiliation with TRG or Tayo…But I think they make bloody marvellous music what! Very Happy”
