GET UP OUT MY SOUL.

"The Recluse" was our favorite track off Plan B's amazing The Defamation of Strickland Banks, easily the most impressive comeback record of 2010, so when we heard a remix was coming from dubstep extraordinaires Nero - whose immense rework of The Streets' "Blinded By The Lights" remains one of the biggest remixes we've ever heard - it's safe to say we got a little bit hot and bothered. Now it's arrived and we're pleased to report it doesn't disappoint, with Nero smashing it out of the park on one of the heaviest mixes of the year... this shit is LOUD. Shouts to Discodust for the tip.

NEXT THING WE'RE TOUCHING.

We've been a bit busy bouncing around between London, Bristol, Nottingham and Newcastle over the past few days, but this just demands to have time made for it. Dubstep isn't something we've ever been overly fond of 'round Neon Gold headquarters, but between Skream's "In For The Kill" mix, Nero's immense take on "Blinded By The Lights" and this absolutely massive rework of "Starry Eyed" by Midlands up-and-comer Jakwob, 2009 is slowly changing our outlook on the subgenre. The Ellie Goulding original was already one of our absolute tunes of the year and Jakwob takes the blueprint put in place by Starsmith and blows it up to epic proportions, dropping the year's fiercest bassline on the chorus and destroying everything in his path with what is truly one of the best and most unexpected remixes of the past year.
