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.

Sub Swara do a fine selection in digital riddims. From the big and bashie to the low and rolling with the added injection of live instrumentation such as Tabla, flute and horns which often give their tracks a kinda tribal mystical feel and lends the music a beautiful juxtaposition of organic and electronic.

The crew run a club night in New York and the music seems to be a natural extension of that, although their album Coup D’Yah definitely takes it beyond the club and into the psyche with 12 tracks of sheer bass driven beauty of varying persuasions.


Buy the album here and keep an eye out for a remix album coming soon also with a heavy line up of contributors including Glitch Mob, Ghislain Poirier, Fort Knox Five, Eskmo and State of Bengal.

Here’s the track 'Yeah (Ina Dravidian Bombstep)' which features Sub Swara resident MC Juakali and a remix of Stephen Marley’s Traffic Jam by crew member Dhruva.
