“14 Tracks: Dubstep in Rude Health”

Dubstep in 2012 is still a mutant, virile beast. In recent years it's been summoned to do dirty work for Rihanna, Britney, and Usher, while suburban punks like Skrillex have even taken it to the f**king Grammys. Well, we all have Carl Cox to thank for that, but seriously, the OG 'steppers are still going strong, and the underground they've spawned is fertile as ever, catalysing logical cross-pollinations with Techno, Electro, House and D&B to keep the bloodline strong. With this selection we've taken a full spectrum snapshot of the scene; a current state-of-play checking for originators, newcomers and outsiders alike. Repping for the new skool, there's the sharp contours of Akkord, the skillful subtlety of Kahn and the taut dynamism of Author, Killawatt, Commodo, and Lurka. Meanwhile, the sound's pioneers are cold knockin' 'em out with the likes of Coki's terrifying 'Tree Trunk', Kromestar's overlarge '2012' banger and Goth Trad's future torpedo 'Cosmos', leaving the peripheries open for Technoid experiments like Shed's hulking bomb 'RQ-170' and Objekt's template-twysting 'Cactus'. And we can always rely on Burial and Various Production to fill the soul quota...

“Suggestion for subscription”

Hi guys, I really enjoy 14 tracks and think that you're doing a great job. I think what would make it better is if there was also a subscription option at a reduced price so that you automatically get each weeks selection. A lot of the time I would probably enjoy the selection but it is a little hard to justify paying the full price unless it is something I'm super interested in. If it cost half the price I would have less qualms in doing so.

“Agree with Nenad”

I would love if you offered a subscription to your site. It would be great to automatically receive downloads, and pay a monthly or yearly fee. Please consider!

“100% agree”

I wholeheartedly agree with the subscription idea. I do often buy 14 track selections but don't always feel brave enough to gamble on selections that don't strike me straight away. I really like the idea of having a fresh bunch of tracks each week to explore, surely there is a fair price that could be set for those who wish for a subscription?
