Throwback Mix-Mary Anne Hobbs – Breezeblock Dubstep Warz 2006

As a semi regular thing, we hope to bring you mixes that defined an era, a sound, a vibe. As its throwback Thursday, we throw it back to Mary Anne Hobbs infamous Breezeblock Dubstep Warz session, aired on BBC Radio 1 – 10.01.2006.

This radio show offers a window in time to the emerging sound of Dubstep showcased by Mala, Skream, Kode 9 & The Spaceape, Vex’d, Hatcha & Crazy D, Loefah & Sgt Pokes and Distance. Not only do they play game changer tunes that sound great 5,520 days from the past or 16 years ago- long enough for someone to have been born and graduate secondary school, yet these tunes still sound revolutionary. All about dub infused rhythms, space, loudness and sub frequencies- you could be forgiven for thinking this is a set from 2022. The sheer variety alone is breath-taking from the traditional wobblers to hybrid Grime, UK Funky to quirky off kilter tunes. Enjoy this banging series of mixes and share this blog with your mates!!!
