I mixed up some vocal dubstep and new school dub to create this mix. A lot of dubstep bores me, but I’ve heard some amazing mixes from DJ Zhao, Squincy Jones, and Shiva that have shown me that it leaves a lot of room for creativity. So I tried to bring mine, with tracks from Caspa, L-Wiz, Dr. Israel, Leftfield, Kode 9, Dubblestandart, Modselektor and more… like Lil’ Wayne and Peter Tosh.
I’ve been working on this one for a while, going through hundreds of dubstep tracks to find the few I really liked and that work well together. It came together this weekend, reflecting how I’ve been feeling… in the Valley of the Shadow of Dub.

just so you know, this was a BIG hit with my friends this weekend. bravo mister!
hmm great mix. as an added bonus it seems to put my 3 week old son to sleep within the first 3 minutes 😀
Wow, this is a great mix. When it first started out, I was starting to wonder what was so different about this set, but a few tracks in, it didn’t take long to realize. I really like the atmosphere you create with this set. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Girl From Codeine City, as it’s one of my favorite dubstep tracks. I was wary of seeing Lil’ Wayne on the tracklist, but damn, you really pulled that off. I was glad to see that it truly felt like part of the mix rather than “I wanna throw Lil’ Wayne in here for shock-value”.
Mixing/transitions were pretty decent, track selection was ace, overall mood = nailed.
Listening to this again tonight.
Props for kicking things off with Leftfield, I remember buying Afro-Left when I was in high school which was one of the albums that really steered me into electronic music. I love mix into the second track too. This is one of the only dubstep-esque mixes that I really enjoy.
