CE: So, who out there has Hank Shocklee excited right now? Who’s music are you vibrating with? If you were to go out and give a big cosign to one artist who would it be, like we are playing pickup basketball, who do you pick first?
HS: Oh shit…that’s rough because…okay, you really want to know? You really want to know? I would go pick up DMZ, I would go and fuck with [dubstep collective] Digital Mysticz and the reason why I say that is I think that there is a vibration that they got that the world needs to feel. And what it is, it’s weird, it’s not a person, it’s not an artist…it’s different, it’s almost a being in their sound.

a wonderful wooden reason
Wow, that's a really interesting thing for him to say. 2Stepfan has said similar hasn't he?
I heard that HS was playing some dubstep at ATP last year I think?

he goes to every Dubwars show and helps promote it... i've seen him spin once, he was playing two step/vocal garage type stuff...
he loves dubstep... i think he's down with grime, he just doesn't like it as much as dubstep
he came to Pure Fire once and took my picture while i was spinning , i had to pinch myself...
i thought he would like grime more... just cos its more abrasive and noisy and energetic (all qualities the bomb squad aspired to)... but i suppose dubstep might appeal to him more as its 'better produced' and well since hes older, the less in your face-ness of it might be easier to get around... i wonder what he thought of boy in da corner.
