At one point, one of my complaints with Joker was that he didn't have enough material out there for me to listen to. His stuff was so good that it felt limited, well this feeling is coming up for me less and less now with his new remixes.
Some of these are a bit dated, but others are quite new (that Devlin remix in particular is fresh), and if you don't have them you should get them immediately!
It seems the dubstep bleeps keep coming in. This time we have remixes of one of my all time favorite producers, Joker from Mensah (another great one) and OM Unit. They both have their own distinct flavor without losing the feel of the original. Mensah's remix does the whole "dubstep to breakbeat" thing that seems to be in right now. Check 'em out!
I have a smattering of Dubstep bleeps here that I've accumulated. Most of these are worthy of their own post, but in the interest of time I'm going to give them all away to you guys in one fell swoop. First up, although it's a bit dated, we have the latest and greatest remix from Joker featuring Lily Allen.
Don Diablo has done a vocal bootleg of Calypso from Excision (who I hear killed it at Underground Sound last weekend) and Datsik. It gives it a gangsta touch that I personally enjoy a lot.
Next up, Rusko and Skream have been giving away bleeps like they're candy at a parade. Seriously, I recommend checking out Rub-A-Dub-Dubbb, and taking a search on the Hype Machine to find their newest shit. Some of it is crap, but a surprising large amount of it is awesome, like their collaboration on 'Dutch Flowers,' taking their usual style and adding a Reggae twist.
Just found out about a new-ish artist release Dubstep and Drum & Bass that goes by Vanks. If System Of A Down went into electronic music, this would be them.
Last but not least sees new things from Vaski, one of my favorite wobbler producers. He remixes that guy who has a really annoying voice that the girls freak out over. He happens to be the cousin of a friend of mine though. Small world.
Joker is a true innovator in the Dubstep scene today. Known for his unique sound thrown around a deep resonate moog bass, he continues to astound me with the quality of his bleeps. He has a hectic DJ schedule that is mostly confined to the borders of the UK, but if you get the chance to see him live DO IT...it will be worth it. He is definitely one of my favorite dub artists of all time, and the replay value on some of these bleeps (posted below) is very high.
Joker has gotten the attention of many over the last few years. Not least of which is turntablist legend, DJ Craze, who does a scratching breakdown routine that is totally ill. The bleep he uses? 'City Hopper' by Joker (and some customized bass to mix in with it).
At one point, one of my complaints with Joker was that he didn't have enough material out there for me to listen to. His stuff was so good that it felt limited, well this feeling is coming up for me less and less now with his new remixes.
