DJ Chart: Gost Wan (Electric Eliminators)
Dubstep is an emergent scene in Glasgow, with nights like Electric Eliminators leading the pack. Describing it as a simple mixture of dub and 2-step doesn't do it justice, so Gost Wan schools us on his top ten...
| 12 Nov 2006
1. Fat Freddy's Drop – Cay's Cray (Digital Mystikz Mix)
Mala strips this back to a bare skanking pulse, leaving plenty of room for Joe Dukie's honeyed vocals to soar. Beautiful genius.
2. Gravious – Temple Ball (hotflush)
Superdeep melodic sinodub, forthcoming on hotflush.
3. Mungos Hi-Fi – Morning Roll (Scotch Bonnet)
Dancehall meets dubstep madness, soon come on Mungos Scotch Bonnet label.
4. Monochrome – Deep / Dis (Fortified Dubs)
Lovely James Bond strings on one side, bonkers techno-styled jam on the other, first release on Eliminators' Fortified Dubs label.
5. Loefa – Natural Charge (label unknown)
Wanna see what your system can really do? Then play any Loefa track on it!
This one has an old school electro feel and Wu-Tang samples - Loe is the
master!
6. Magnetic Man – Everything is Cool (white label)
Dubstep pioneer artwork returns with Benga on this Choo Choo Romero sampling monster... one for the techno heads.
7. Jack Sparrow - Prankster (label unknown)
Could have put any one of his dubs, they are all so good, this one has a real fun, rootsy appeal.
8. Mala – Left Leg Out / Blue Notes (DMZ)
Crashing bongos and bleeps one side, grinding sax led deepness on the flip, both have been anthems for a while, I'm glad they are finally released.
9. Forensix – First Destiny (white label)
Mournfull but spiritually uplifting sinodub from manchester talent and future Eliminators guest.
10. Kode 9 – Curious (Hyperdub)
Has never failed to put out challenging records, they never imitate. can't wait for the album!
