MP3s: Benga's New "Faithless / Acid Lie" Single

Remember when you first saw the video for The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up"? How about the first time you watched (and heard) The Matrix? Well, if those musical memories have any kind of cache in your cerebellum, your ears are going to big fans of Benga's new single.

The dubstep veteran just released his Faithless / Acid Lie single on Joker's Kapsize label and it spills over with early 2000s house and techno allusions, which happens to be a good thing.

Now That's What I Call Dubstep! - Vol. 1

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"?
