This release resulted in Dubstepforum.com shutting down for several hours as a flood of over 700,000 people scrambled to get info on the release. You can listen through the 3 tracks on the release and purchase them direct from Hyperdub, also available soon on vinyl.
Below are some previews that Kode9 was playing on Benji B’s BBC radio show last week.

One of Central Florida’s up and coming producers just signed his most recent tune to Ultragore Recordings. This is a big step for Halo Nova, and hopefully it will help gain more attention for Florida Dubstep producers in general.
Every time I hear the name Emalkay, the synthline from “When I Look At You” is instantly stuck in my head. Anyway, this powerful producer just dropped a mouth-watering little banger on Dub Police yesterday, along with an official video. Check it out.
I’ve heard “Massive” being played around for a while now , but I never knew the name of it until I found this:
I’m back and recovered from a haphazard weekend of hotel/party hopping, and like most years it was quite an experience.
When it came to parties, the consensus I got back from Ultra attendees was that it was a bigger audience than last year but pushed into an even smaller space. Videos seem to back this up. It was one of the things I noticed last year — they had these huge trucks whose sole purpose seemed to be cordoning off sections of Bicentennial Park that were open previously. The domes? Eh.
I have to say the SMOG vs Basshead event was probably the best non-Ultra event I attended. Sick visuals, no problems figuring out who was playing, and a very nice variation in styles throughout. Future Sound of Breaks was aight, I had a bit of a problem with paying for a VIP ticket then being forced to carry around a complementary t-shirt and can of Monster energy drink for the rest of the night (oh, and not actually being allowed to access any VIP areas? What was the point?).
Coolest party though? A last minute free event announced by Diplo on Twitter, that ended up being in a random art gallery/studio, featuring the man himself on the decks.
The biggest tune that was at some point played by nearly every artist in one form or another turned out to be Flux Pavilion’s “Bass Cannon”. FP definitely needs to make a stop by Florida soon.
Two heavyweights team up to give us this ass-kicking track just in time to fuel the insanity around UMF week. No word on a release date or a label just yet, but you know we’ll keep you posted. Enjoy.
Russian dubstep label XSSR Dubstep may still be in its infancy but they are set to establish their commitment to quality production with their new release from head honcho Mars who tells us to expect plenty more stonking releases throughout 2011 and beyond. In the meantime, make sure you look out his forthcoming release when it drops April 5th.
We’ve also been patiently waiting for this other tune by Mars to come out on Wicky Lindows:
Our buddy/pal Alexandre sends word that he’s hosting a remix competition of his Torture Symphony in preparation for the upcoming release of several fresh new tracks on Somoa Good. The winning track will be featured as part of the official release and featured on BeatPort and such. Details and stems after the jump!

All day, erryday.
I don’t think there could be a more perfect track to christen our Drumstep section with.
We don’t have much info about these forthcoming tunes on Sludge Records, but they are definitely worth keeping an eye out for. Both Josh Money and Ed Solo are among those innovative Breakbeat artists I keep bringing up who are starting to make waves in the Dubstep production world. Just remember where you heard it first.
Legendary production powerhouse, Chase & Status, recently hosted a remix contest for their upcoming tune “Time” featuring Delilah on vocals. The contest closed yesterday, and with over 1200 entries, the competition is extremely fierce for the $1000 cash + prize package. It was impossible for us to listen to each individual entry, but we did grab some of our favorites for your enjoyment.
Jodi and Hosta of Rub-A-Dub-Dub got this one in just before the deadline, one of my favorites. — trilla
