31 de may. de 2022 · How Benga’s ‘Diary Of An Afro Warrior’ Shifted The Perception Of Dubstep. Words: Son Raw. 2008 saw a changing of the guard. Dubstep, long regarded as a niche concern for the overly stoned, had burst from the pirate radio-fuelled underground to become the soundtrack to countless student raves.
Key features of this album are: 1) Pounding kick drums – ‘E trips’ has a kick-kick-kick-snare pattern that’s only a whisker away from being a full-on 4/4 thump. 2) Harsh, speedy hoover noises – ‘The Cut’ uses synths that would make Joey Beltram and Marc Acardipane poo their pants.
