Dub Step?!? What It Is & Where It's From...
That being said, I just heard some stuff from a producer named Burial that sounds really interesting. Plus I ran across a video overview of the genre, and it's origins, and artists (Benga, Youngsta, & Kode 9) at XLR8R that introduced me to it in a way that I could relate to.
Some of this stuff really takes me back to the halcyon days of Hardcore / Drum & Bass / Jungle... only on downers. And hey, there's even a Florida contingent of this largely UK dominated genre. floridadubstep.com

Little Brother "The GetBack" Drops Oct 23rd
Little Brother dropped "The Getback" on Tuesday. Big Pooh and Phonte still seem unable to actually break up with 9th Wonder. He produced a few tracks for the album. Same thing happened on 9th's album too. Fortunately Hi-Tek, and Denaun Porter both produce tracks and probably the most hard hitting song "Good Clothes" was produced by Beat Fanatic producer Illmind.
Phonte leaked the album on Okayplayer.com. I'm sure the label loooved that...
Little Brother will be out on tour with Evidence of Dilated Peoples for the next couple months. They'll be in Orlando Nov 27th.

Company Flow re-unites at CMJ
The worst kept secret in New York last week was that at Def Jux’s CMJ Showcase, Company Flow would reunite on stage. And that’s exactly what happened when EL-P was joined by Bigg Jus after his solo set to run through some Co Flo songs. DJ Mr Len was nowhere to be seen but El-P’s current DJ, Mr Dibbs helped the duo with “The Fire In Which You Burn,” “Population Control” “Vital Nerve” and “8 Steps To Perfection.” There are rumored plans that the group will be re-uniting next year.
El-P also had another surprise guest on the night, when he was joined by Del The Funkee Homosapien.
