So Phil keeps bothering me about uploading some dubstep. I was trying to culture you with some of the 'Bangers and Mash' mix, but I guess what you're after is some of the dirty stuff... so here's a Skream overload for you.
Actually fuck that - first here's Martyn with a classic remix of Flying Lotus (love this tune): listen to it LOUD. (he's dutch, so very cool, as I'm sure you're aware - Rik, not Phil... ha)
Skream's well 'festival dubstep' and got pretty massive a while back along with Benga, but here's a classic for you (I can't say I listen to him much now, but I think this is what you're looking for!):
And here's an ace Digital Mystikz tune - they're the guys behind DMZ (you work it out yet?) - which is still banging about every couple of months and you should def come to next time you're in Londontown.
Here's a link to the mix album Watch the Ride - some classic tunes on there - check Flith.

And here's Skream's first album Skream! (2006):

So yeh - Dubstep's officially dead; I maintain it was never alive given that it wasn't 'one thing' but just a whole burgeoning direction in music encompassing loads of new AND existing genres; but anyway it's spawned some amazing new directions in music and a friend's band (Nedry) are now being touted as 'post-dubstep' which is hilarious but you should check them out though as they're ace: http://www.myspace.com/nedrymakesmusic
Saw them at Corsica Studios recently (just awesome venue at Elephant & Castle) and they were really good - supported 65Days on tour in Europe a while ago and they're doing it again NOW- so catch them NEXT FRIDAY (19th Nov) in Amsterdam.
big up

p.s. you should def check out the track 'Clouded' on their myspace it's really ace and I reckon it's right up both of your respective streets (it's got some post-rock vibe in there Rik! and bass for Phil!).
