Deep, Liquid & Soulful Dubstep Producers and Labels – Where to start…

Posted by alex on April 26th, 2009

Since this seems to be quite a common request from a number of newcomers to the scene, I felt the necessity to post something that they could be pointed in the direction of, to save people answering the same question over and over.

Here are – in my opinion – some of the better producers making deeper, garage-influenced, liquid and more soulful dubstep. If you feel i’ve made any mistakes, or not included “absolutely crucial” producers – just comment, and I’ll amend wherever possible.
