When Mishka tapped me to be Vol. XXIII of their prestigious Keep Watch mix series, I tapped them back in an accepting manner because I’m a gentleman who believes in Hammurabi’s Code. Past artists in the series have included Major Lazer, Skream, Rusko, Crookers, 12th Planet, Congorock, Craze, Klever, and more, so I knew I couldn’t just twiddle my fingers on this one. I had to spend my time instead making a good mix.
Here’s my official statement on the end result: “”No crazy concept here (my sounds of the sea compilation will have to wait). I simply wanted to feature a bunch of tracks I’m feeling right now, and put them together in an interesting, scratch-happy way. Some of the tunes are old, some are recent, some are unreleased, some are so new Kanye don’t even know about ‘em. One of them actually is Kanye. In any case, the listener will experience an eclectic array of mostly dubstep and grime. There will be twists, there will be turns, and of course, there will be scratching.”
Once again, I’m going to have my cake and eat it too. But wait, does this expression make any sense? Is there ever a situation in which a person would have cake and not eat it?
“Excuse me, yes, waiter. I’d like a cake…Noooo, not to eat, I’m going to take it home and hang it on my wall!”
And so, here are my 30 favorite dubstep (& related) tracks I heard in 2010. Note some overlap with my overall 2010 list, but who are you? The list police? Get off my back!
