The Dubstep Allstars series on Tempa has been in operation since 2004 and, whether by design or not, has always offered a weather vane for the clubbier side of the genre. Volume 6 doesn't break this template, but in Appleblim's hands it widens the parameters of past installments to focus in on a new generation of dubsteppers. While past mixes read like a love-in for those close to the label, with acts like Skream, Loefah, Benga, Coki and Digital Mystikz all figuring heavily, the 18 tracks here focus a spotlight on producers whose tracks are pushing the genre outside of the typical dub/dancehall/two-step cornerstones.
Appleblim himself is one such producer. Like Shackleton, with whom he's split most of his vinyl to date, he opts for more complex beat structures, stringing together industrialized and atmospheric tracks that recall the early experiments in Euro-phile digital dub undertaken by the On-U Sound label, early Meat Beat Manifesto, and others. Given this more rigorous and experimental approach to dubstep, it's no surprise that Appleblim draws on producers such as Peverelist, Martyn, and 2562, all of whom are playing with versions of the genre that are more palatable to outside influence. It's a nice direction for a series that was beginning to grow predictable in its tastes after five installments.
Peverelist gets things started in a slow and hazy fashion with two Pole-tinted tracks: 'Gather' and the more muscular 'Circling', the latter a Skull Disco collaboration with Appleblim from earlier this year. From there, the mix perks up significantly with Pinch's 'Get Up', a highlight from last year's Underwater Dancehall. Of all the producers featured, The Hague's 2562 borrows the most tricks from minimal techno.
On their own, his tracks sound as if he's yet to hone in on a distinct personality, but in the middle of this mix he holds up admirably as a clean and compulsive way to transition away from hazy dub and dancehall toward more brittle breakbeats. This is where Martyn comes in, the only producer here whose linear, garage-tagged tracks work well on both sides of the mix: early on with 'Suburbia', and then again near the end with his remix of TRG's 'Broken Heart'.
That tail end, taken up significantly by Komonazmuk and TRG, is where Appleblim makes the mix's allegiance to techno most obvious. Tellingly, this is also where the delicate hold on the dubstep foundation otherwise maintained through the rest of the mix begins to slip. Dubstep and techno hybrids are all the rage at the moment, with great tracks coming out on both sides, but unfortunately the two Komonazmik examples Appleblim mixes in here (the ravey 'Bad Apple' and the similarly retro 'Cheeky Herbert') lead the set into its least compelling and shallow-sounding section. Luckily, the mix comes back strong, finishing with Geiom's catchy bassbin stomper 'Reminissin'.
Above all, Dubtsep Allstars Volume 6 reveals that Appleblim is a DJ more interested in evolutions within the genre than playing to its biggest hitters. He insists on taking the listener on a deep and varied excursion, and he's not afraid of slowing things down or speeding them up to get the results he wants. It's worth listening to this mix alongside his recent RA podcast, which takes the journeyman's mentality in an entirely different direction. Between the two mixes, Appleblim has showcased, if anything, just how versatile dubstep has become in absorbing the music that surrounds it.

This is such a slept on era of electronic music. It's a holy trifecta of dub reggae, dub techno and dubstep. Fucking beautiful, man.
I'm trying to keep this stuff alive things coming soon
*You slept on
You said it
It's coming back im telling you
Main influence for me
My all time favorite music. Been listening since it came out and it never gets old.
"More interested in the evolution of the the genre then playing the biggest hitters"
Nailed it. This is why figures like Appleblim are essential to music.
I used to fuckin' Mario Kart my 106 around with this in the CD player back in the 00s. Shitty sub in the back, cheap speakers and lots of weed. Best time of my life!
Still got the CD to this day!
Maybe the best dupstep disc you can buy.
Yes that's true ❤️
Exactly.
Been looking for it for a loooong time.
6 years have passed since your comment, how about a little nostalgia
Still here 2022!
2024
one of the best mixes ever. big up Appleblim
+exactlywhatisaid every appleblim mix is good :)
Been playing it for years man haha, it's too good
How is this not huge with many, many hits...?
only a city like London can birth such a unique sound.
Bristol*
Birmingham
Forget that only in England can you find a melting pot of music that inspires and then creates this level of artistry

Komonazmuk - Bad Apple
Now he's known as Komon.
The was the last good Dubstep Allstars album and it ended beautifully.
Nah, Ramadanman's mix for Vol. 7 is also exceptional
give me 20 minutes of adverts before one of these mixes and Ile watch it it's just like a punch in the nuts during the mix it's just wrong somebody tell the boss of everything it needs sorting out
Google Ublock... Or get New pipe for Mobile
Or subscribe
1st tune remind me of silent hill
The best allstars album. and really stands up as a piece of music. great mixing and track selection. but for me I can't get over mungos hifi...I don't think that track fits in at all and I skip it every time.....sorry
I differ. I think that the contrast between the classic Dubstep sound of "Babylon" and the more Progressive sound of "Bad Apple" was the point. Two completely different takes on the same genre. That mix works so well because of that.
From the roots to the evolution in less than a min.
i agree, its a very weak Dubstep track
It's not a weak dubstep track, people go wild to this type of tracks, I just don't think it fits too well with the rest on this particular mix.
mate you spelt his fuckin name wrong :O
Too many ads spoils the flow, terrible!
Use Ublock origin as addon in ur browser..
Get premium and don’t be a broke
