The English. Something about them and their style of music guarantees a "British Invasion" every year. We had Rock in the 60's, Punk in the 70's, New Wave in the 80's, Brit-Pop in the 90's, and Dubstep in the last six years or so.
There's something infectious and uniquely British about Dubstep. Thats not to say the North American guys don't have their own sweet brand of it, I'm a big fan of Zed's Dead and 12th Planet. The general grimness that pervades all of the original South London Producers (Burial, King Midas Sound, Zomby, etc) comes from a grim London scenery populated by lots of low budget clubs, all of where these guys got their start.
Joker is one of these originals, the difference being that his music has been geared for dance-halls from day one. His synths are organic and deep, almost replicating bass in its depth of sound. His remix's are usually of fellow Englishmen, his remix's of Simian Mobile Disco's "Cruel Intentions" and Professor Greens "Just Be Good to Green" are both definitive versions of the artists songs.
Here are some sweet Joker tracks. I'm just to tired to write anymore, treatments really taking its tole on me.
