The UKF label's fifth annual overview of hit dubstep tracks is as big (21 tracks) and as vital (these are necessary numbers with no fly-by-night filler) as previous editions but, for better or worse, pop dubstep has now taken a back seat. No remixes of
Ellie Goulding or such here, as names like
Zomboy, Mantis, and
Emalkay keep things firmly in the dubstep arena. Shame the megamixes from previous years have been dropped from the retail package, and yet, this is still one of the most reliable series in the world of dance music, doubly so when it comes to dubstep. ~ David Jeffries
