Of all the trends, fusions and cross-genre mutations we’ve witnessed within dance music over the past ten years, the furious explosion of dubstep and the cataclysmic expansion of grime have been two of the decade's most defining musical movements.

DMZ was in full swing, and Plastic People was the bubbling hedonistic hot-bed of all things FWD>>, drawing in the likes of Mala, Ben UFO, Burial, Skepta and James Blake. This inspired a seminal selection of producers who went on to push the power of 140bpm onto a global landscape.
