DUBSTEP WEDNESDAY - Week 1

I have pondered over what to upload for Week 1 of Dubstep Wednesday for a while now but in the end came to no real idea about what to do. Instead I have uploaded 6 songs, some newer than others but I hope it will give you a good overview of a few different takes on dubstep. There are some more heavy/dirty tunes and some that have only a light dubstep beat in it but still make a great tune.
Mt Eden has been around for some time but he is now making his name in the underground by remixing songs with predominant female vocal lines:
Sierra Leone (Mt Eden Dubstep Remix) - Mt Eden (right-click to download)

Hide And Seek (Mt Eden Dubstep Remix) - Imogen Heap (right-click to download)

I heard this next tune (by Emalkay) when listening to one of Skreams live sets. An awesom build up with a nice drop, have a listen:
When I Look At You - Emalkay (right-click to download)

Chase & Status and Pendulum are both well established artists but pendulum very much in the DnB genre, not dubstep. Rob Swire (leader of pendulum) is an extremely good remixer and producer and his attempt at converting 'The Other Side' into a dubstep classic couldn't have come off better:
Eastern Jam - Chase & Status (right-click to download)

The Other Side (Dubstep Mix) - Pendulum (right-click to download)

This last tune I've had sitting in my library for a while but if your a real dubstep fan then you'll love this very heavy tune:
Kick Snare - Crissy Criss & Youngman (right-click to download)
