High Rankin

Dubstep is throwing up some seriously good up and coming producers right now; and the incorporation of dubstep into house / jungle / D&B sets and vice versa is making it one of the most pliable sounds on the scene. Personally, I think that the word 'pliable' is in need of a huuuge reintroduction back into everyday usage, but that's beside the point. You could say it 'Ranks High' on our list of words today....which brings me neatly along to our "Super Upcoming Dubstep / Jungle / Cross Genre Junkie of the Day" for today, HIGH RANKIN! (Serious apologies about that, we were clutching at links). MORE AFTER THE JUMP!

Will, as he is affectionately known to family, professes to be a 'Dj - Producer - Artist - Jungle Ponce - Visionary - Digital Minstrel - Stuntman - Monkey Trainer - Inventor - Circus Strong Man' which makes for quite a email signature; and probably costs him a fortune to list in the Yellow Pages. Not sure that there is a big section for 'Jungle Ponces', but it's an emerging market.

Annie Mac has recently grasped on to his tracks like a koala to eucalyptus, describing his music as "dubstep for girls"; which is harsh because we've played it and we're definitely DEFINITELY male. But either way, his tracks are absolutely sick and he's kindly given us a mixtape of all his current work and cheeky track for your delectation!

If you need any monkeys training, oversized comedy weights lifting or general tips on how to be a jungle ponce (or alternatively if you need some sick tunes and mixes) check out his MYSPACE for some more info!
