Dubstep Awards
Artist:
RWD
Dubstep nerds and bass riders showed their appreciation by packing out the venue situated on the ‘uber cool’ Kingsland Road. Herbal is one of those clubs with so much old skool appeal, it is a shell of a former shoe shop/warehouse that has lots of dark nooks and crannies-great for a little solo skank By eleven it was heaving like a sweaty cattle market. The celebrations were well under way with Whitsla, Dubway and Cotti and Cluekid dusting off the cobwebs in room two. The penultimate act was React FMs Henny G, followed by Mardi Gras bead clad Benga who’s tune Night has been named THE tune of 2007 by Giles Peterson. Sadly the sound system in the second room was inferior to the rib shattering speakers in the main room.
Kode 9 blessed the decs starting his set with an absolutely banging 4x4 tune. He upped the levels with his remix of the Massive Music tune Find My Way and moved onto to Martin’s euphoric remix of TRG’s Put You Down.
One tune that was blasted out on both floors was Mala’s Lean Forward. A riddim that did the rounds in 2007. Many a DJ has triumphantly blasted this award wining tune that scooped the Best 12”. Mala was also crowned Best Producer of 2007 and the DMZ club night awarded the Best Event.
N Type cleaned up for Best DJ, Best Radio Show and Best CD. For a man who mixed over 100 records in one album we wouldn’t expect anything less.
Rusko and Caspa went to back-to-back previewing tunes off their latest Fabric mix tape encouraging ravers to embrace that sucking-on-a-filthy-bitter-lemon face. Tunes like 2 NAQ and Cockney Thug reaffirmed why it is that Rusko was awarded Best News Comer. At this point the rave was turned into a tumultuous sweat pit leaving the lingering smell of B.O and bodily gases-something that is now synonymous with raving these post smoking ban.

There were no tears before bedtime as the winners received recognition and a big cheer, the losers, well they were at a party that wasn’t just about the individuals but a celebration of a scene that is rich in creativity and diversity.
2008 looks like a very promising year indeed!
