by Georgina Cook

Overview

Drumz Of The South: The Dubstep Years (2004-2007) is the first photography book to present the early days of dubstep in detail. Seminal to the sound's growth from the spaced-out expression of a handful of producers, to the global genre that it is today, Drumz Of The South is both a personal and a cultural document. It features over 200 photographs from events and radio stations such as FWD>> at Plastic People, DMZ and Rinse FM, plus pioneering producers, DJs and MCs like Burial, Skream and Benga, Mala & Coki, Loefah and Sgt Pokes, Plastician, Kode9, Hatcha & Crazy D, Skepta, Wiley, and Mary Anne Hobbs.
