Early Morning


"Music is holy to me, and the unblanched truths of the greatest music communicate to me at a level that is completely non-trivial, and the conduits of this force - well, they're not so much like shamen or monks than actual saints or incarnated deities..."

-Matthew "WOEBOT" Ingram

A couple of good pieces of writing from Martin Clark a.k.a. Blackdown. The first is the monthly grime/dubstep column on pitchfork about a Mr. Joy Orbison, whose dubstep/funky anthem 'Hyph Mngo' is destined to be one of the biggest tracks of '09. Read it here. Blackdown also has an excellent piece on his blog about the state of 'Dubstep' and how the best music is being made on the fringes of the sound. Those tunes which are pushing the boundaries towards house(Funky), hip-hop(W**ky) and synth madness(the Purple stuff) and the worst of the music is the hard-line mid-range aggro-step that goes against everything the Dubstep scene was founded upon. Give it a look here, and also check the healthy discussion on Dissensus about the same, here.
