As winter kicks in, British bands start to compete for who can be more cold and haunting yet warm and inviting at the same time (think the official term for this is Super-cool). The xx have been obvious top contenders for a while now but we'd say Ninja Tune signing Emika has got a pretty good chance of grabbing the title herself, although having recently relocated to Berlin she might well have to be disqualified from the running.

This track gets extra points in each category thanks to Scuba, a London dubstep pioneer who has also jumped ship to Berlin shores a new. Look out for the single and more remixes dropping in January of next year.

My head is currently being ripped apart by dissertation research, so I am extremely grateful for the deep and thoughtful Dubstep served up in a new mix by Forensics which has been keeping me focused for the last 40 minutes of study.


Forensics' own productions start the journey perfectly as they feel their way around the dark dub caves, drifting deeper into sweet melancholy before toughening up somewhat and getting kinda angry and tribal as it heads guns blazing into mystical territory like an Amazonian redevelopment programme. Finishing a few thousand leagues under the sea in a final battle with the Titan Terror Fish armed only with a set of submarine speakers. .. or something like that... okay maybe the mix hasn't kept me that focused on work after all.

Look out for Forensics' Exile EP coming soon which features Indi Kaur, Phaeleh & Not In My Name and a third album which is in the pipeline. Plus you can still pick up his last two albums (Zero Billion and The Singularity) on Digital Sin.
