For the tenth edition I am utilizing a concept I got from the <a href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/r\/realdubstep\">\/r\/realdubstep subreddit<\/a> a while back &#8211; a mix composed entirely of dubstep remixes (one of their other ideas, of dubstep white labels, is something that I am saving for the future). In the end, I&#8217;ve picked twenty tracks for this mix, but in the process I ended up discarding a whole bunch of great tunes, because they didn&#8217;t quite fit the flow of the mix and there was no logical place to include them. <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2012\/02\/pearsall-morally-diminished-3\/#DiaryOfAMix\">This happens with every mix I do<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, for today&#8217;s edition of the Tuesday Time Machine, here are three choice &#8216;leftovers&#8217;: <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fuhYgyffwKc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Body-Snatchers2-Ft-Goldmouf-I-Like-What-I-See\/master\/24667\">The Body Snatchers &#8211; I Like What I See (Joker Remix) (Passenger)<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>First up is this awesome remix from Bristol&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestoolpigeon.co.uk\/features\/interview-joker-is-quite-a-card.html\">purple maestro<\/a>, Joker. The original might be a fairly straight-forward fidget house tune, but this remix is all brightly-colored synth squiggles, cavernous drums and pulsating bass. Probably one of his lesser-known productions, but still a fine piece of work.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ubq9sA7od7g\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Pinch-Get-Up\/master\/208655\">Pinch &#8211; Get Up ft Yolanda (RSD Remix) (Tectonic)<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Secondly we have RSD taking on &#8216;Get Up&#8217;, which originally featured on Pinch&#8217;s (excellent) album <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Pinch-Underwater-Dancehall\/master\/17999\">Underwater Dancehall<\/a>. RSD, for those of you who are unaware, is the dubstep alias of Bristol music legend Rob Smith, best known as one half of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.factmag.com\/2012\/04\/30\/the-essential-smith-mighty\/\">Smith &#038; Mighty<\/a>. Rob Smith is one of the longest-serving members of the Bristol scene, having been involved in production since the 80&#8217;s, and having released everything from dub to hip-hop to jungle and beyond. I&#8217;m personally a big fan of his dubstep output as RSD &#8211; always rhythmically complex, danceable, fun music. This tune is a particularly joyous example of his sound.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y0xvIAaWFj8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Juju--Tes-La-Rok-The-Remix-EP\/release\/1068657\">Juju &#8211; Half Ounce (Tes La Rok Remix) (NarcoHz)<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s this tough remix from Finnish dubstepper <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kmag.co.uk\/editorial\/features\/tes-la-rok-interview-0811.html\">Tes La Rok<\/a> of the Colombian San Franciscan dj\/producer Juju.
