Loefah & MC Chunky (GB)

Loefah is among the pioneers of dubstep, a co-founder of the legendary DMZ and the solo head of the Swamp81 label. His award for the best new dubstep label of 2010 speaks for itself, but Loefah’s original work — spun in DJ sets by Joy Orbison, Ricardo Villalobos, and Kode9 — have long challenged the boundaries of the genre. It’s the essence of the best underground British club music.
