Youngsta should need very little introduction by now. One of the figureheads of dubstep since the very beginning, long-running resident at scene-defining club night FWD>> and the DJ who first played some of the genre's most-loved anthems, he continues to be a hugely active figure in dubstep's development. His weekly show on Rinse FM draws deep for new music, helping to expose and break talented new producers, and the founding ethics that defined dubstep in its early years still remain at the heart of his DJ sets. *It's taken until now - eleven years since FWD>> first opened its doors - for his debut solo 12" to arrive. *'Destruction' takes a while to live up to its ominous title, with clouds gradually gathering throughout the track before finally erupting into a huge and violent thunderstorm. Aptly named after the Greek god of the sea, 'Poseidon' is a gorgeous, dub-infused roller, driven by a rubbery bassline that thrashes back and forth above a swung rhythm that nods to two-step. *In many ways both tracks cut right to the core of the Youngsta sound - sub-bass is a constant and oppressive presence, while sparse rhythms and ghostly melodies lend a sense of unbroken flow. They're potent reminders of the physical and psychological power of Youngsta's DJ sets, now further expressed through his own music. Conclusion: it was worth the wait.
