Dubstep. I’m not an expert on the subject, I’m merely a catechized fan of the extraordinary and bewildering sounds. The chops and drops make my head spin. The lack of any human emotion in the music is both startling and riveting.

I will be honest, my first taste of dubstep (using the term loosely here) was actually found in Britney Spears’ impeccable 5th studio album, Blackout; the track in question: “Freakshow.” Even the almighty Pitchfork had a lot to say about the track, inciting me to explore this thing they called dubstep.

So it comes to no surprise that I found Joker by way of Pitchfork. They have reviewed two of his tracks, “Purple City” and “Digidesign,” both eliciting a rating of 8/10, the latter is even graced with “Best New Music.” I can do nothing but sit here and agree with them. This stuff is fantastic.

Joker has also remixed Basement Jaxx’s “Raindrops” with crew mate Ginz. It’s pretty smooth. icon smile Joker
