Cannot stop listening
Suicide Dream 2 (elite gymnastics baptism) by yourstrulysf
Classic house piano + post-rnb… this is making ten year old Nathan deliriously happy.

Okay: the first dubstep song I ever heard was Various Productions, back in 2004:
I remember the song seeming pretty well known: Wiley (I think) constructed the excellent Sinner Riddim out of it, for example. We can hear a lot of the elements associated with dubstep: wobble and bass weight, most obviously. But here’s the b-side to that track:
