Great Expectations
The wait is nearly over! The debut album by Dutch producer Martijn Deykers is finally here. Martyn was both myself and RAW's favourite producer of 2008, releasing a string of stunning 12"s and remixes which blurred the lines of Dubstep, Techno, 2-step and Drum 'n' Bass and which has seen him elevated to the top echalons of the Dubstep/Techno scene.To say that this release is eagerly anticipated is somewhat of an understatement but from what I have heard so far it looks like the hype has been justified and Martyn has produced an album which fits perfectly into the new 'Dubtec' sound but has a much broader appeal and encompasses more genres than one would expect. Martyn describes his sound thus: "I think what makes music interesting is when an artist incorporates his/her influences and translates it into a unique sounding style," he explains. "Although it might sound a tad arrogant, I'd like to think of my music as 'Martyn music.' I try not to think of it as dubstep or techno, or house or drum & bass—it's not about genres, it's about music. This way I feel more freedom to make the music I want to make."

The Dubtec Mix
It has been quite a while since I contributed any kind of mix to the blog so I wanted to showcase the increasingly blurred lines between the Techno and Dubstep scenes. I put together this mix way back in September 2008 for Soliton Research and it brings together a lot of my favourite tunes that made it it into my 2008 Hot List.It is now time to unleash it to a wider audience and to spread the word of the 'Dubtec' sound.
The mix was put together in one take with no rehearsals. Enjoy.
