Summer has begun, and what does a great summer/pool/drunken party need? Right the best dubstep. So I've selected the, in my humble opinion, best songs for this summer. I'm not gonna say they are all brand new, because they're not. But all are definitely good. Buy them if you like it and support the artist. Let's start.
One subgenre of dubstep I always like is the combination of a great voice with a sick tune. One name which can't be missed then is of course Nero. Tracks like Guilt, Innocence, Me and You and the latest Promises are the best known, and Nero's best tracks. Especially Promises and the Skrillex vs Nero remix, damn what a sick tune. O and free tip, check Dirtyphonics remix of Me and You, hence this aint a DnB list it ain't on it, but damn good track!

Nero - Me and You (Original mix)
Nero - Promises (Skrillex & Nero remix)
But there's more. Robyn is known by most people now, Feed Me is maybe lesser know, but he's Mau5straps oldest member. Maybe you know the guy as the DnB artist Spor. Anyway, he turned to dubstep, and how. With an huge album last year called Feed Me’s Big Adventure. Now he did a sick remix of Robyns Call Your Girlfriend and I just love the sweet voice and deep drops.
Robyn - Call Your Girldfriend (Feed me remix)
Katy B is of course a name which can't be missed in a list like this. I admit, it's sad she went commercial, but that doesn't change the fact that Katy On A Mission is a proper track.
Katy B - Katy On a Mission (Original mix)
In the same category as Katy B's track there is Ellie Goulding, well Jakwob version of her track Starry Eyed. Jakwob is a name the watch with a upcoming album on Mercury Records.
Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Jakwob remix)
The originals of DJ Fresh do not get loads of airtime, but the remixes definitely do. First Gold Dust, now Doctor P and Flux Pavillion their remix of Louder. Bangerr.
DJ Fresh - Louder (Doctor P & Flux Pavillion Remix)
Nneka is a German hip hop/ soul singer I've never heard from before. But Chase and Status took her track Heartbeat and turned it into a beast. The electronic beats and sounds fits perfectly.
Nneka - Heartbeat (Chase & Status Remix)
Aren't there any male singers combined with dubstep? Well of course, James Blake, but everybody knows him. Lesser know are the Crystal Fighters, and indie band who make all kinds of music. Their song Swallow is more of a dubstep song, a combination of their indie influences and big basses. Although the original is all right, Funtcases remix is sick.
Crystal Fighters - Swallow (Funtcase remix)
On the next part of this Dubluv special we will bring you the nastiest, filthiest and heaviest dubstep.
