King Midas Sound is the UK Collaboration between Dancehall/Dub DJ/Producer Kevin Martin (Aka The Bug) and Trinidadian Poet/English Lit. Prof. Roger Robinson. Together they craft the most dubbed out of dubstep songs on the scene, leaning more to the likes the Kode9 crew, having most of there releases through his label Hyperdub. Eerie echos swell as Robinson's ghostly voice flows out of the hazy beats. It so happens that they recently released their debut album, also on Hyperdub, Waiting for You, More on the listening side of dubstep and is stylistically similar to Kode9 & Space Ape's album Memories of The Future. I like seeing that dubstep still has albums coming out like this, shows the roots, and range of the genre when compared to the awesome electro banger styles of Rusko, mmmm dubstep. Got the album for you, along with some amazing remixes by Dabrye and Flying Lotus, Enjoy.

Martyn - Great Lengths
Martyn is a Dutch-American Dubstep DJ/producer with origins in the world of drum and bass. A few weeks ago he came out with the highly anticipated album 'Great Lengths' on his own label '3024'. I was very excited to see this LP had been released after seeing his remix for Flying Lotus on LA EP 2x3, and was overall pleased with the release, his sound has the coolness of house, and the ghostly synths of flylo (thinking along the lines of 'Breathe Something / Stellar Star), with these awesome dubstep beats, beware though, for the most part all the tracks are pretty solid, but a couple were swing-and-a-miss, like 'these words' with d-bridge, not for me, but the album is made a must have in your dubstep repetoire if not simply for the songs 'Is This Insanity' with the Spaceape or Natural Selection (that voice is...so cool)
