However, for the moment check out the debut Magnetic Man album on Spotify now. All signs point to this album being the one that really pushes dubstep on from the Rinse FM's of the world and onto the Radio 1 playlist.
In fact, the incredibly catchy 'I Need Air' was already playlisted over the summer and I got my dubstep groove on to it twice at Big Chill alone, once during Magnetic Man's incredible late ngiht set and again to Joker.
Magnetic Man, comprised of dubstep superheroes Benga, Skream and Artwork, err on the side of poppy dubstep but the album also takes in grime & drum n bass whilst retaining an accessible feel to each song, aided by guest vocalists such as Ms Dynamite and Katy B. By retaining this cleaner and sharper edge to their music, they avoid alienating themselves from the female audience, as is often the case with 'dubstep'.
edit: I completely forgot to add this yesterday but Anthemic is one of the best songs I've heard in ages. Anthemic doesn't even begin to describe that track. Check it.
