A few months ago I got a new car. And you might be wondering what the hell it's got to do with this mix? Well, I'll get there, bear with me. So I went from a Vauxhall to a Lexus, and as happy as I was with the Corsa, the CT200h is in a different league. And the first thing I do, as a music lover, is to see what the speakers are capable of. For that you need a banging mix, A mix so tough and rough, you wished the journey never ended, and you could stay in your car for the rest of your life. This is such a mix.
From the first to the last second the music is banging. And when I played it at level 30, the bass nearly made me ejaculate! Seriously, I sat there in my car, like a teenager, with a huge smile on my face. You cannot see it, but I remember it vividly. It happened, and I cruised the M25 with a grin on my face. I was so happy. Not just because the mix was dope, but the speakers in the Lexus were made for this kind of music. Dubstep/Grime anyone? Buy a Lexus. Now that's a top tip.
Obviously this is not a promotion review for the car, but for the mix. And it's yet another banging mix by FatKidOnFire, and this time it's made by Russian DJ Chekma. And their fascinating Diversity In Dubstep concept, it is really important in the present day to give everyone the same stage, no matter which gender or sexuality or religion. Music should unite us, not divide us. And with Dubstep they have picked a good scene to show equality. Don't know many female Dubstep DJs, but thanks to FatKidOnFire I know a few now, and Chekma has really really impressed me with this dark Dubstep mix.

So, this happened. I am now sitting indoors, and I am hating my speakers. They aren't as good as the car's speakers. I need the bass to come at me, and bite me hard. I need to feel the music. I might just go sit in the car for 55 minutes, play this mix, and drain the battery. Why not? Dubstep is not to be played at a low level, you need to crank the volume way up. As high as your speakers can handle it.
I really enjoyed Chekma's mix. Really dope, tight, and very carefully mixed together. Top notch mix, if I'm honest. From the first time I heard this mix until now, every single time I have enjoyed listening to it. And hopefully FatKidOnFire keeps on this Diversity In Dubstep concept going, I really enjoy it.
I've got only love and appreciation for this mix. Nothing wrong, just what I needed to hear. Make sure you check out Chekma and FatKidOnFire, if you love your Dubstep and Grime. And go check out Chekma's interview for FatKidOnFire, really good read.
