It is a very diverse list this year and readers of this blog should already be very familiar with A$AP Rocky, Azealia Banks, Flux Pavillion, Dot Rotten and Skrillex. I am going to do a profile on each artist leading up to Christmas, so stay tuned for those. 

The Top 5 and Winner will be decided in January of next year.

FLUX PAVILION - SUPERBAD

New track from Flux Pavilion titled 'Superbad.' The track fuses Dubstep and Funk but I'm not to sure what to think about it to be honest, maybe its a grower.

TOP 10 DUBSTEP ARTISTS IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW

I recently started writing for music website BandCrunch.com. The first article I have done for the site is titled 'The Top 10 Dubstep Artists In The World Right Now' and is viewable here.

EXAMPLE - MIDNIGHT RUN (FLUX PAVILION REMIX)

Example's next single has been given the remix treatment by Flux Pavilion and all I can say is its absolutely huge.

FLUX PAVILLION & SKISM - JUMP BACK (PREVIEW)

Flux Pavillion previewed his forthcoming new release on his BBC Radio 1 take over this week. The track was produced in collaboration with Circus label mate Skism and features Foreign Beggars on vocals.

JAY-Z & KANYE WEST - WATCH THE THRONE REVIEW

Jay-Z and Kanye released their much anticipated collaboration album today. You can read my track-by-track review after the jump.

PRODUCERS I LOVE PART TWO

So part two of 'Producers I Love' features UK Dubstep producer Flux Pavillion. Although Flux has been releasing Dubstep music since 2008, he made big moves towards the back end of 2010 continuing into 2011. Flux is the co-founder of Circus records along with Doctor P and DJ-Swan E. If you don't know much about him, I am going to introduce my three favourite tracks/remixes of his.

First up has to be the huge 'I Can't Stop' taken from the EP of the same name featuring three other great tracks. Check out the song below.
