Dis 'Ere Dubstep

Unlixes [Edit] [Delete] 12:51, 3 August '08

I don't get the coverage on here. It feels like a surface swipe. I knew a guy who got the second Burial album, almost like he knew it was gonna come up in coversation and wanted to be able to come across as dahn wit' the scene. "Oh, yah, I got that album.."

Reviews (and praise) for The Bug and Burial but no mention of equally big artists. Various Production, Pinch, Boxcutter. Benga has a profile but no review.

This isn't as big a criticism as the above comparison suggests. DiS is an indie publication, fair dues. I know I surface swipe all the time but then, I'm poor. I just don't really Get the coverage, the logic behind the cherry picking. Various Production did a Foals remix for goodness sake. How much more crossover does it need to be?
