solipsistic NATION solipsistic NATION No. 142: Colossus

To keep solipsistic NATION fresh I've followed a few rules. For example, a rarely play music from the same artists unless they've released something truly phenomenal.

On of the other rules I try to adhere to is not to play music from a specific genre of electronic music to often. That's important because otherwise I could easily play breakbeat tracks on solipsistic NATION week after week. But sometimes I follow that rule to rigidly. Take this week's show, for example, which features a mix made up entirely of dubstep tracks.

I love dubstep. It has many moods: dubstep can be playful, spiritual or downright menacing and the bass and the drums always moves the music forward. But I have to watch myself or I'll play dubstep on the show constantly. I followed my one of my rules so blindly that I realized that it's been over a year since I've done a show dedicated to dubstep. That's much too long!

So I present to you on this week's solipsistic NATION a mix of dubstep tracks. Some artists, like Ebola and Cardopusher are more aggro and experimental, while other artists like Bionics and Frescoe are more traditional in their approach to dubstep ( considering that dubstep has only been around for a couple of years makes that an absurd statement - dubstep hasn't been around long enough to have an established tradition). There's something for everyone and I know you'll dig this week's show!

If you find yourself craving more dubstep then you'll want to listen to the documentary I did about dubstep labels featuring music from the likes of Boka Records, Lodubs and more! I've also done a show grimestep show featuring an with Leo Olofsson of Grimestep International and the lads from The UK Connection. Finally, I've got a straight up dubstep mix I know you're gonna love!
