THE SPIT BROTHERS 2010 MIX
09 03 2010
Amongst a lot of techo/house purists, Dubstep gets a bad rep because of it’s recent saturation in the scene and because a lot of the tunes and mixes are totally lacking in the dynamics we are used to from house & techno style tunes and mixes. This mix by THE SPIT BROTHERS however , is a step back (pun intended) from the Dubstep you may have heard & disliked before. It certainly converted me when a friend of mine named Scott Atkinson shared it with me via facebook (thanks Scott :-)
What I LOVE about this mix is that the tunes are mixed seamlessly together in the same way that my favorite house DJs like Sasha/Digweed/Hernan Cattaneo do. Most importantly, this mix DOESN’T go straight for the throat like so many Dubstep mixes and sets do. They use their own original songs and remixes in this mix and it also features live guitar and horns to ease you into the harder stuff as the mix goes on. To be honest, i’m not really a huge fan of Jamaican reggae tunes, but this mix has more in common with that genre than the Dubstep of artists like louder dubstep producers like Excision & Datsik, and it’s GREAT.
