2005 · Tempa
Ranked No. 1 in Dubstep
The crossover record, made by a teenager in his bedroom. A synth riff simple enough to hum and a bassline that only fully exists on a large rig, which is exactly why it converted so many people at once.

Midnight Request Line
2005 · Tempa
Picked by Bass Weight
The same 140 BPM grid with the kicks taken out and the low end left to do the work alone. The record that made dubstep legible to people who had never stood in front of a proper rig.

Midnight Request Line
2005 · Tempa
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
A riff simple enough to hum over a bassline that only fully exists on a large rig. That combination is why an entire scene got out of South London.

Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Night It Went National
The tune that converted people who had no idea what they were listening to. A scene needs one record everybody can hum before anything else it does is allowed to travel.
