Sup guys, Boot here, and I’m going to keep you up to date with all the goings on in the world of dubstep.

Now many of you know my history and I like to rant, however these articles will not focus on what sucks, because let’s face it, the less exposure that rubbish gets the better. Instead, I’ll be focusing on everything good going on within dubstep (which is alot!), as it seems there isn’t really a voice coming from Australia [...]
