Another year has passed. Instead of making of list of albums, I thought I'd switch things up a little and make a list of mixes centered on the "new Hardcore".

Numerous quality tunes from Dubstep's early era never saw a release, but they live on in archived sets and Youtube rips. I list some of my favourites.

A look back at the creation of a genre - and the two DJs whose vision and selection contributed to shaping it - through the first two Dubstep Allstars volumes.
