Woon combining the genre’s bass- heavy beats with surprisingly introspective lyricism. Surfing this wave-crest is DJ Hatcha, veteran of various scene club nights and pirate radio stations in London, and mixmaster supreme behind this three-disc compendium of signature dubstep tracks from the likes of Skream, Joker and Benga & Coki alongside remixes of artists such as Katy B, Magnetic Man and Pendulum.
