00s Forever: Dubstep's Golden Era

20 years on from Mary Anne Hobbs' Dubstep Warz, Rave Forever pays homage to the sound at its peak.

20 years on from Mary Anne Hobbs' Dubstep Warz show, where she gathered together dubstep's key names - both rising talents and certified players - for a special one-off show on BBC Radio 1, the sound of dubstep still feels like something from the future. In this show, Rave Forever pays homage to the dubstep genre at its peak, bringing together tracks from some of those foundational producers: Mala, Skream, Benga, Coki, Kode9, Loefah, Appleblim, Vex'd, Distance, Pinch, Hatcha and more.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
