Breaking awesome news… This Saturday 5 big names of dubstep together in Athens at Bios. For the first time in Greece two of the most essential dubstep producers , Benga and Skream are coming in Athens. Together with them , Mala and Shackleton as well as the duo Darkstar. Im not sure if Skream and Benga are already a bit oldschool or not , but the event will be great in any sense of the word in my opinion. People who wants to get closer to dubstep , it seems that this is the best change they ever had. Lets focus on every artist separately and write an extend informative introduction concerning all of them.
Skream is originally from Croydon (UK) and is considered as one of the artists who contributed to the creation of dubstep as well as the genre’s diffusion. His track “Midnight Request Line”(released in 2005 from tempa label) many of you know already from my radio Breakz essentialz, is one of the most noticeable dubstep tracks ever. Skream is also responsible for the classic EPs Skreamizm as well as the popular remixes on tracks of La roux and Bat for Lashes. His first album released by tempa label in 2006 and the second album is coming up this year named “out of the box”.

hello flybutter and Drofnothing.
I already wrote something about yesterdays party , Mekal shared some of her impressions. Something that I was thinking today and I would definitely like to notice , was the way of organizers to advertise the event. All the previous weeks commercials at MTV and the local MAD TV somehow annoyed me a bit. Im concerned that Dubstep becomes increasingly mainstream in Greece. Perhaps Im too strict with the definition of mainstream. what do you think?
