There has been a hell of a lot of Dubstep remixes recently, which has is positives and negatives.

A jaganaut of a beat that seems to endlessly build until it reaches a beautiful crescendo. I might be able to turn the other cheek for this one.

Anyway enough of the lofty talk check the tune out!

[Zinc vs. Dave Spoon - Ghost Train]

I await the full length Joker LP with extremely baited breath...
