(DRUM'N'BASS/DUBSTEP)Meet Chase and Status, far and away my pick for best producers in 2008 and 2009 (Joker deserves an honorable mention this year though). Big, badass, rowdy rudeboys who have absolutely slayed the boards and the floors, and filled my crates with the best sounds bass has to offer in my orders from overseas. You want some examples? Well, there is PLENTY!
Dubstep:
Running, Saxon, Eastern Jam, Bits, Madhouse (feat. Murs), and their latest remix of a Nneka tune thats taking over dancefloors as ya read this - Heartbeat
Drum'n'Bass:
Pieces (feat. Plan B), Take Me Away, Take You There (feat. Digga), Sirens (remix of the Dizzee Rascal track), Come Back (feat. Topcat), The Druids, Streetlife (feat. Takura), and the track I derived the title from - Smash TV
Hell, they even made a funkyass hip hop track - Against All Odds (feat. Kano)
Check what they do with Jay Z's flows in their DOA Remix
And one of their big influences, The Prodigy, recently asked them to remix their track Invaders Must Die
So as you can see, they're plenty versatile.
Check this interview to see what they're up to these days. You know you've done something crazy when you make DnB and Dubstep, and one day Rihanna taps your shoulder for some work (and any of you cats shouting "Sell-outs" - go fuck yourselves, you put in work, you see results, simple as that as far as I'm concerned). I've been wanting to put up something about these guys for a minute, and I've been neglecting DnB more than I should since I got started on this blog. So, without further ado, here's what you're all probably skimming through the post to find - A wicked mix even for Essential Mix standards, any of the big DnB heads will know how huge the tracklisting is. Download, listen, love.
