SMΛЦG - This isn’t England

Incorporating pitch-shifted vocals and despite that still keeping it quite fresh. Now this seems like something worth attention.

Pharell - Frontin (Jam Jam Bootleg)

Jaw Jam has released another bootled featuring Pharell, this time created a lovely peace of wonky, bubbly house with some slight “post dubstep” aesthetics.

Dailon - I Will Be

Slow, melancholic beats to which one could attach the dreaded “post dubstep” label. Created by an American producer who hails from the Bay Area.

Smaug - Terminus

Another track featuring vocals from Trim, this time from Smaug. Nice atmosphere with some great drum work. I love the second part of the song.

Finally a proper release and an official music video for the Trim & James Blake collaboration, which some of you might have heard a couple years ago as part of the Harmonimix tracks released by Blake.

Shelter Point - Forever For Now

A stunning debut EP from duo Shelter Point to be released on Scuba’s Hotflush Records. Connecting the so-called “post R&B” and”post dubstep” influences with decent vocals and recent bassy production trends, the pair creates a very relaxed and pleasant musical journey in a post-everything aesthetic.

Mister Lies - Dionysian

A decent production by American producer Mister Lies which seems to be heavily influenced by the so called “post dubstep” movement. Grows nicely, quite mellow and happy.

VVV - Fallen Pines

Producing a dub track and making it sound fresh is a challenge nowadays, however not a challenge for VVV. You can still hear the usual dismal and melancholic atmosphere associated with his tracks, however I like his approach to the style. No information regarding release I’m afraid.
