12 of the most influential grime and dubstep labels of the last decade
Two of the decade's most defining musical movements
11 Butterz
Butterz is the independent grime label founded by Elijah and Skilliam. Established in 2007, first as a successful blog and then as an even-more successful label, Butterz has since gone on to distribute material from the likes of Terror Danjah, Swindle, Trim, P Money and Newham Generals, making it a crucial outlet in the resurgence of grime’s second coming; that’s when they’re not causing dizzying, devilish deconstruction in the dance with their club nights that is.

12 Planet Mu
Planet Mu is a label that has remained consistent, cutting-edge and classic ever since it launched back in the 90s. In the last decade however, it’s been a primary pusher of all things weird and wonderful thanks to its founder Mike Paradinas AKA µ-Ziq. Planet Mu is to thank for home-grown hardcore anthems, such as the before-mentioned, ‘Qawwali’ from Pinch, as well as releasing critically-successful compilation cuts of boundary-pushing bass and other-worldly dance music
