I just read a cool article on CBC about the Dubstep sound from South London. It’s apparently a new branch of dub/two-step music, borrowing a little from the darker flavours of drum & bass. As I write, I’m listening to Mary Anne Hobb’s Breezeblock show (January 2006) that threw dubstep onto the world stage. Here’s a link to (low-quality) MP3s of that show if you’re interested.
Despite the newfound hipness of CBC 3, it still feels lame to be taking my musical cues from the CBC website… but whatever.
