Last week, Diplo released Blow Your Head - Diplo Presents Dupstep, a compilation of his favourite purple tracks. The mixtape attempts to condense the zombie genre into 16 must-have cuts. Is it a success? Well, sure -- the mix touches on most of the genre's staple artists and has a decent amount of classics*, what it's lacking is more: Where's Burial? Where's "Purple City"? etc. etc. etc.
Regardless, it's a pretty good primer for anyone new to grimy jams and, more importantly, is a pretty great excuse to publish some solid dupstep myself. Crank your subwoofers and download 12 teeth-rattling tunes below.
* Rhetorical question: Does it get any better than "Sweet Shop" or "Archangel"?

Thanks so much for making this post. Just stumbled across it and these songs are seriously causing me to look at dubstep in a whole new light. Loving it.
