Found some words from Loefah, all the way back from 2005 on XLR8R. Loving his thoughts on these classics from the time-
Digital Mystikz - Haunted
This track is by Coki (one-half of Digital Mystikz), which-to those in the know-means that you best steady yourself for the sonic onslaught that will inevitably ensue. It opens with an ugly percussive-sounding synth which filters down into nothingness before a wall of sound explodes. In my experience, it‘s never got past eight bars before someone presses the button to reload.
Skream - I
"I" is for incredible. Incredible bass, incredible beats, incredible melodies, incredible energy. A pad that lies somewhere between Blade Runner and Friday The Thirteenth builds a perpetual tension, coupled with a clockwork yet sparse rhythm that keeps the track‘s momentum upbeat.
Digital Mystikz - Neverland
"Neverland" has been around on dub for over a year now and, if you‘re lucky enough to have a copy, is a standard in any dubstep set. It‘s got 808 beats, layered strings, percussion, and a bassoon-like sound provides the hook. It captures the same ambient dreaminess as LTJ Bukem‘s classic "Music."
