A-Z of 2008

[Slothrop]

even if rusko was ruining dubstep, he's quite obviously not doing it single-handedly.

If I was him (scary thought) I'd have "Rusko: single handedly ruining dubstep" on all my flyers. Or possibly "it's not garagey, it's not from Bristol but it's fucking 'aving it!"

But A is for Africa this year, surely, from Donaeo to Buraka Son Sistema to Vampire Weekend and loads of music journos hastily boning up on kwaito via wikipedia so that they can pretend they knew about it all along.

And D is for DnB compilations from the leftfield being really good - Subtle Audio, Subvert Central, Scientific Wax and Outsider comps all representing.

agree he's bad, Cockney Thug is abysmal , but there's been so much other interesting dubstep this year it hardly matters.
