  • Peverelist's Punch Drunk imprint will summarise the last five years Bristol bass music on their latest compilation. Entitled Worth The Weight: Bristol Dubstep Classics, the unmixed double-disc collection showcases plenty of Punch Drunk's own back-catalogue—including tracks from Gatekeeper, RSD, Gemmy, Guido and Peverelist himself—but you can also find selections from the Tectonic, Skull Disco, H.E.N.C.H., Immerse, Idle Hands, Kapsize and Reduction camps across the two CDs. The only concession to older material comes with Smith & Mighty's joyously skippy "B Line Fi Blo," which was originally released in 2002 before being reissued by Punch Drunk's Unearthed sub-label. Dubstep fans will definitely find much to love here, from the meditative tribalism of Pinch's "Qawwali" to the wild oscillations of Jakes' "3kout." Apart from the music, the CD version also includes a photo booklet and sleeve notes from highly reputed blogger Nick Edwards, AKA Gutterbreakz, who himself documented the rise of dubstep in Bristol via his website. Edwards is now making music under the Ekoplekz moniker, and will release a 12-inch on Punch Drunk in the near future. Tracklist CD1 01. Pinch - Midnight Oil 02. Peverelist - The Grind 03.
