Dubstep Madness

So I'm listening to Annie Mac, and she just played High Contrast's edit of Skream's 'Let's get ravey' 'In For The Kill' remix. Obviously, it was awesome, but it made me angry ... because it wasn't Last Japan's edit. I've been listening to Last Japan's edit all day (thanks to the kind people at NoisePorn who put it up) and it is quite literally f*cking sick.

Skream's original mix is obviously huge, but because I'm impatient I keep having to skip to the end so I can enjoy the most hardcore bit. Last Japan's edit just makes the whole thing hardcore, and increases the levels at all the right moments, introducing a posionous synth and a slightly more puncky snare to the mix. He preserves all the best bits of the original, and adds all the bits that were just missing (for me, at least).

It's huge!

On a side note, both Annie Mac and Pete Tong tipped Surkin's remix of The Juan MacLean as destined for greatness. For those who are interested, I posted it here.
