What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.

Following the Planet Mu 200 comp, the label compile 14 tracks of their dubstep emmissions from the last year or so. The '10 Tons Heavy' comp begins in style with Pinch's brilliant Qawwali. Probably his finest moment. Then onto Distance's techy slow jam 'Night Vision'. Vex'd up next take the heaviness to new level with 'Fire'. Milanes's 'Double Face' has a female vocal that infectiously works its way into your subconciouss. With more cuts from MRK1, Boxcutter, Benga, Loefah etc you can expect some serious future bass action.A great document for any CD buyer to catch up on many previously vinyl only tracks. Cheap double CD.

What the label says:

Dubstep truly is the sound of now, and what better way for Planet Mu to celebrate its own unique journey through this fresh genre over the last few years than this faultless 2cd compilation.
With Boxcutter, Milanese, and Vex’d all pushing the sound to an extreme new level and the more straight up work of Pinch, Distance and MRK1 ensuring the original bassweight is still intact, Mike Paradinas takes the sound of now into the future.
CD1 is a collection of the finest, deepest tunes released on mu over the last 4 years (including a Milanese exclusive), and CD2 is a special bonus mix by Kiss FM’s DJ Hatcha, containing massive new tunes from Planet-mu’s freshest artists in the scene.
’Heavy’ is a word overused in describing Dubstep releases, but compilations such as this are few and far between. Weighing more than 2 double decker buses, ’10 Tons Heavy’ is the sound.
