If you're going to pick up a dubstep mix, make sure it's this one. Seriously. First of all, it's flawlessly mixed by Skream, who is possibly the best in producer/dj in the genre. Skream's impeccable selection for Rinse 02 consists mainly of his own releases and dubplates (check for plenty of unreleased tunes and cuts from the upcoming Skreamizm 4), and needless to say, the shit is HEAVY. Bass for daaaaaaays. But what sets Skream's mix (and production) apart from the rest is that even though it is obviously bass driven, it is also incredibly melodic and mesmerizing. The mix also features tracks from his label mates and Croydon homies Benga, Coki, Mala, Distance, and Zinc. Shota the Database is heavy into the dubstep scene and he assured me, this is one of the best. About 1 hour and 10 minutes long. Recommended.
