RA Review

Skream's Disfigured Dubz imprint has been a confusion of straight up, poignant and wobbly dubstep over the years—with predictably mixed results.

The original just isn't a very good song. Hate the vocals.
The 12P&F is standard fare brostep, I don't have to listen to it carefully to realize it's not to my tastes.
Thankfully Jon Convex's is the standout track here, by a long way. Very, very good dark sounding FG track.

Was amazed the Jon Convex remix was on the C side and the 12th planet remix got the A side on the 12'.

'It's in the same vein as Tensnake's anthemic 'Coma Cat,' but 'Fiber Optic' somehow hasn't quite got the formula right. ' ummm ok dick you know jack shit of what you speak...

holly dicker has no clue.
original mix easily carries off it's sleazy groove with a bit of tongue in cheek. Absolutely no need for the tensnake comparison.
B side IS awful though.
