While exploring the abyss of deep bass and the post-dubstep sound even further, I am very excited to document my recent discovery of a producer that goes by the name of Arkist.

I can’t believe its been about a month since I’ve listened to any drum & bass. What the hell??? Looks like I’ve devoted so much time to dubstep these days I almost forgot about my true love, liquid.

I started listening to dubstep only a little over 2 years ago. I couldn’t quite get into it at first, the tempo through me off and the few times I heard it live, I wasn't feeling the MC overpowering the track which killed my groove.
