9 Tectonic Records

Pinch is the powerhouse producer at the helm of Tectonic, founded in 2005. Hectic and headsy, his offerings both on and off his imprint, (take the notorious 'Qawwali' for example) have cemented his status as a leading figure on the dubstep scene and his label releases are no exception. Loefah, Skream, Hijak, Roska, Joker, 2562 and V.I.V.E.K can all be found in the Tectonic back-catalogue, making it a firm favourite for those ‘in the know’.

10 Rinse

When Rinse FM, the former pirate radio station, began releasing music under its own name back in 2003, it was a natural progression for the London-based hub of all things unknown and underground. The station was one of the first places you could catch grime and dubstep in their earliest forms, championing Wiley, Skream, BBK, and more way back when. In the past decade however, they’ve continued to release music from both their rostered artists and their affiliates, as well as their ‘Rinse Mix’ albums, with Plastician, Oneman and Faze Miyake just a selection stepping up to the dubplate.
