Dubstep Warz 2012

Dubstep is still barely a decade old, and Rob 'Pinch' Ellis has been there since the start. In his productions and DJ work, the Bristol native constantly harks back to the UK club music's fertile early days, before its genre tropes hardened and began to be aped by everyone from Rihanna to Ayumi Hamasaki. Following on from his enjoyable collaboration with Shackleton last year, Pinch's recent contribution to the Fabriclive mix series moved from housey four-four beats to bass-heavy skanks by the likes of Distance and Japan's own Goth-Trad – all of it mixed, in a single take, on vinyl.
