David Lee Roth once opined that music critics like Elvis Costello because they look like Elvis Costello. Perhaps that explains why the pale, skinny Dubstep massive has chosen badman DJ Skream as their avatar of choice (no Pandora), but it’s more likely that they’re drawn to the amazingly dark and forward-thinking beats that man’s been releasing since he was in middle-school. The return of his acclaimed Stella Sessions radio-show to pirate station Rinse.FM after a short hiatus is cause to celebrate: with back-to-back mixes by Chef and Skream himself along with emceeing by the ever-hilarious Sgt. Pokes, this is what radio sounds like back when you’re allowed to have fun on the airwaves. Seriously England, you’ve got government funded shows by the likes of Mary-Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson and Benji B. You’d think that’d be enough but no, you just gotta rub it in.
Cheers to Dubstepforum members Dubmilo for the rip and Focal for the tracklist, which can be found after the jump as per tradition.
